For a student

Students have the power to create change.

Join a global student movement working on drug policy: chapters on campus, campaign resources, leadership training and a network that reaches from your students' union to the UN.

Why this matters

Campuses are where drug policy is enforced most and debated least.

Disciplinary codes, campus policing and welfare policies shape student lives directly, and students are usually the last people consulted. Organised student chapters change that balance.

Success story

From a society stall to a seat on the policy committee.

“We started with a stall in freshers' week. Two years later the university consults us before it changes anything in the student disciplinary code.”
