From the Front Lines
Harm reduction is a public health philosophy and intervention that seeks to reduce the harms associated with drug use and ineffective drug policies.
We believe drug policies should be based on science, compassion, health, and human rights – not fear and stigma. We promote policies and attitudes that reduce the harms of both drug use and drug prohibition. People shouldn’t be punished simply for what they put into their own bodies.
