Why this matters
Policies about young people are still written without young people.
Young people carry most of the consequences of punitive drug laws, arrests, exclusions, lost opportunities, and almost none of the decision-making power. Reliable information and a seat at the table change that.
1961
Year the treaty framework still shaping global drug law was signed, before most governments consulted young people at all.
