Evidence-based drug policy, founded on early treatment and harm reduction

• Treat drug use as a health issue, not a criminal issue
• Legalise, regulate and tax cannabis
• Trial prescription hydromorphone (analogue of heroin) to break the link between heroin addiction and crime
• More high quality medically supervised injecting centres
• Reform laws to allow front-of-house drug checking (‘pill testing’) facilities in areas of need including music festivals and other events
• Legalise electronic vaporisers and liquid nicotine as recognised treatments for smoking
