Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy
Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy (CSSDP) is a grassroots network of youth and students who are concerned about the negative impact our drug policies have on individuals and communities. We consider drug use a health and human rights issue rather than a criminal-legal issue. We advocate for evidence-based responses to reduce and prevent harms associated with drug use and drug criminalization
Our Mission…
Education
We support young people to make informed decisions about their health, starting with evidence-based drug education. Education is empowerment.
Harm Reduction
Drug use is a public health concern and a human rights issue, not a criminal justice issue. We advocate for appropriate responses to reduce and prevent harm.
Drug Policy
We work to support harm reduction, evidence-based legislation, and drug policy reform on local, national and international levels.
