A new poll sponsored by Drug Policy Action found overwhelming support in New Mexico for cannabis legalization. The poll found that support is strengthened when key equity components are included, designed to undo some of the worst impacts of the failed drug war. In particular, independent voters showed overwhelming support for these policies.
Drug Policy Action, in close partnership with allies in Oregon, is spearheading a groundbreaking ballot initiative in Oregon – Measure 110 – that will decriminalize possession of all drugs for personal use and improve access to treatment and other services for those that need and want it.
Regardless of who wins the presidency in November, Drug Policy Action is committed to building on the momentum of the current moment to achieve important federal reforms.
The following letter was sent to Sen. Kamala Harris from Drug Policy Action congratulating her on becoming Biden’s running mate and reminding her of the promises she made to communities of color and low-income communities — to end marijuana prohibition and begin repairing the extensive harms the drug war has brought upon them — during her own presidential bid.
According a new, independent government research report released by the Oregon Secretary of State, racial disparities in drug arrests will drop by an astounding 95% if Oregon voters pass IP44, the drug treatment and decriminalization measure backed by Drug Policy Action, in November.
Positive reforms remain overshadowed by harmful drug war policies, such as marijuana prohibition and drug courts.
