THE "WAR ON DRUGS" CAUSES UNNECESSARY HARM TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD.


The spread of HIVand Hepatitis C and the incarceration of hundreds of thousands of people are all direct results of completely misguided policies driven by dogma. The International Network of People Who Use Drugs (INPUD) calls for an end to this war on our people and for a new period of peace and intelligent open debate.

INPUD - The International Network of People Who Use Drugs - is a global network of people who believe that citizens do not forfeit their humanity and human rights simply because they choose to use substances covered by the international drug control system.

Through collective action, INPUD fights to change existing local, national, and international drug laws and to help formulate an evidence-based drug policy that respects human rights and dignity.
