Anyone’s Child: Families for Safer Drug Control amplifies the voices of those who have been directly impacted by drug policy failures and are now calling for the legal control and regulation of the drug market. Our politicians tell us that drugs need to be illegal to protect our children. And evidence proves it. By making drugs illegal, we have handed the market to criminals, rather than the gover
nment. And these criminals don’t ask for ID, don’t care about who they sell to, and don’t care about what the drugs contain. Young people will always use drugs. It’s natural for them to experiment. “Just say no” doesn’t work, and neither does punishment. A criminal record for drug possession destroys a child’s life, ruining job prospects, their status in society, and their futures. We believe that our drug laws need to properly protect our children. That’s why we urgently need a new approach to keep all of our families safe. The next casualty of the drug war really could be Anyone’s Child. Don’t let it be yours.
