NOTE: This is a free (but registration is requested) state-wide public policy conference sponsored by the California Society of Addiction Medicine and the Drug Policy Alliance.
With 30,000 people locked up for a nonviolent drug offense in California, prisons are bursting at the seams and busting our budget. And yet drug prevention and treatment funding is suffering devastating cutbacks, making treatment harder to find than ever.
California is overdue for a new approach to drug policy.
New Directions California will convene a range of stakeholders and explore a comprehensive, balanced approach to drug policy, which recognizes that successful strategies include prevention, harm reduction, treatment and public safety. Join us to begin moving our state's drug policy in a new direction.
