Dear Drugreporter Supporter!
Although it was without much fanfare that the European Commission, in July 2017, published the new Action Plan on Drugs (2017-2020), the drug policy community should celebrate it as a great achievement both for its progressive content and for the meaningful involvement of civil society in its preparation. Drug consumption rooms, pill testing, naloxone distribution, the human rights impact assessment of drug policies and evaluation of cannabis social clubs - just giving a few examples. As the head of the civil society working group advising the Commission I have been involved in the preparation of this document. Please read and share our article highlighting the changes and challenges!
In our previous newsletter we reported about the crackdown on civil society in Hungary. In the midst of governmental attacks it was very reassuring that our film, A Day in the Life, won the gold medal for best documentary movie in Hungary, given out by Kreativ Magazin. The movie can be viewed online. If you would like to organise a screening in your own town, please contact us - but you can also support our work by making a donation today!
