The Not-So-Balanced Approach – Policy Responses to New Psychoactive Substances

January 24, 2014 | Author: Péter Sárosi

Tweet

Our new report (PDF) aims to assess the various policy responses to new psychoactive substances (so called “legal highs”) in five European countries – Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Serbia – , from the perspective of researchers, service providers, law enforcement officials and activists working with the most affected communities of people who use drugs.

We organized a public hearing at the European Parliament on our study on new psychoactive substances in June where we have presented this report – please watch the videos produced at the hearing!
