Brown University Students for Sensible Drug Policy will be hosting the Northeast Regional SSDP Conference this weekend to discuss the failure of the War on Drugs and policy alternatives. Students will hear from speakers such as former Rhode Island senator Lincoln Chaffee, international drug policy reform leader Ethan Nadelmann, Brown Professor Glenn Loury, and noted author Daniel Pinchbeck. In addition, the conference will feature panel discussions and activist workshops.
A panel that may be interest to all of you is "Health System and Policy Reform" on Saturday, April 14th 11:30am-12:45pm in Macmillan 117. Drs. David Lewis and Jody Rich are part of the panel which will discuss how medical professionals and politicians can work together to change drug policy from a punitive to a medical paradigm.
The full schedule is available at http://ssdp.org/northeast.
Hope to see some of you there!
