Dear Friend of Drugreporter!
The exclusion of non-governmental representatives from the UN High-Level Meeting on AIDS is not an isolated incident, but part of a global crackdown on civil society. To fight back, we need to understand the crucial role of NGOs in policy development. Please read our opinion piece on Drugreporter: Civil Society Must Fight Global Crackdown!
The Drugreporter video advocacy team was invited to the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelics Research in Amsterdam (3-5 June, 2016), where we had the opportunity to interview leading researchers who study how our brain responds to psychedelic drugs. These substances have not only huge therapeutic potential but they can transform our knowledge of our minds. Please watch our short movie produced in Amsterdam!
