Doctors group calls for decriminalizing use and personal possession of psychedelics
The report from Doctors for Drug Policy Reform (D4DPR) says decriminalizing use and possession of psychedelics by adults “provides a viable path to reducing mass incarceration, addressing systemic inequities, supporting public health, and lays the foundation for rational drug policy reform.”
“Criminalizing the personal use and possession of psychedelics is a costly misuse of resources,” it contends. “A cohesive state-level decriminalization framework would better align with evidence-based drug policies, ensuring a more just and effective response to substance use.” A better approach, D4DPR asserts, would be to remove criminal penalties around the use and possession of psychedelics – a change the group says would advance public health, promote social equity and allow better allocation of scarce public health and safety resources.
