Students for Sensible Drug Policy is an international grassroots network of students who are concerned about the impact drug abuse has on our communities, but who also know that the War on Drugs is failing our generation and society as a whole. We are students who seek and end to this failed policy and actively try to facilitate reform. SSDP mobilizes and empowers young people to participate in th
e political process, pushing for sensible policies to achieve a safer and more just future, while fighting back against counterproductive Drug War policies, particularly those that directly harm students and youth. http://www.ssdp.org/facebook
SSDP is a student led movement with more than 100 chapters across the country!
