Rationale

Any comprehensive approach to drug policy needs to establish and document all the possible drug policy responses – perhaps surprisingly this has not been done to date. This project sought to document all drug policy responses as well as provide a useful taxonomy and user-friendly policy tool. The project had three primary aims:
1. to document all the possible drug policy responses (strategies/interventions);
2. to document the different possible taxonomies that could be applied to the responses and to summarise the taxonomic approaches and;
3. to develop a user-friendly and simple database that can sort drug policy responses by any number of classification approaches.
