Drug Policy Project

Worldwide legislation regarding drugs is contradictory at best and enforcement and control a well documented failure, producing more social harm than public safety. New public policy begs for a uniform drug policy based on scientific evidence rather than fear and ignorance.

Discovering and developing a uniform drug policy which is practical, which reduces harm and increases public safety is not an easy undertaking. Yet, public policy makers need such guidance if there will ever be the possibility of solving the “drug problem”. The Drug Policy Project advocates policy based on scientific knowledge and increased personal responsibility. Promoting such radical changes needs concerned experts on trance able to commit to a presence at various meetings of public policy makers around the world.

The Trance Research Foundation Committee NGO on Drug Policy is developing a proposal for a uniform drug policy based on a scientific approach. The goal of this policy is harm reduction and increased public safety rather than control, repression or the promotion of fear propaganda. Our approach attempts to bypass some of the legal compulsions of the past, and explores the potential dimensions of a transcultural and uniform drug policy. The proposal uses the trance model as an analytical basis.
