Drug Policy Forum
Purpose: The mission of the PACG Drug Policy forum is to advance policies and attitudes that focus on harm reduction of both drug use and drug prohibition. We advocate for the use and regulation of drugs grounded in science, health, compassion and human rights. We believe the war on drugs must end. Together we work to ensure that our nation’s drug policies no longer arrest, incarcerate, disenfranchise and otherwise harm millions – particularly young people and people of color who are disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.
Forum Co-Facilitators: Caroline Vernon and Dan DeShane (email Caroline or Dan for questions or to get more involved)
Meetings: To be determined, alternating between Illinois and Iowa.
Facebook Group: Please request to join our Drug Policy Forum Facebook Group.

We are also planning an Iowa public forum (date TBD) to educate our community about the current medical cannabis laws as well as the need for decriminalization of cannabis in Iowa.
