Drug Policy Challenge
Minimizing the harms of drugs and drug policies. The goal is keeping Ohioans healthy, alive and productive — whether they use legal drugs. illegal ones or none at all.
Drug policy must focus urgently on reducing opioid overdose deaths, now more than 3,000 people a year in Ohio.
Harm Reduction Approach
Drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights.
Pragmatic and practical strategies that meet drug users “where they’re at.” Harm reduction enables safer use — such as needle exchange — and no use. It does not condemn.
