anti-drug policies
Substance control laws
Anti-drug policies are government measures aimed at reducing the production, distribution, and use of illegal drugs.
These range from strict enforcement and harsh penalties to harm-reduction approaches like needle exchanges and treatment programs.
The term often carries political weight, with debates over whether such policies should emphasize criminalization or public health: Critics argue that anti-drug policies have disproportionately affected minority communities.
