Between Hope and History: on Drugs


Drug strategy to reduce both supply and demand

We have a new National Drug Control Strategy that:
  • targets young people for education and prevention
  • pulls drug users off the streets and puts them in treatment
  • aims to reduce the cost of drug abuse to our health and welfare systems
  • and seeks to block drugs at the border and cut off drugs at their source.
