SDLP - Drug Law Reform

A safe & regulated market for the selling of & personal use of cannabis should be created
Drug use should be decriminalised so it is not viewed as a criminal justice matter & to focus on a healthcare based approach
There should be an expansion of support services to help those who misuse drugs to quit
The Cancard should be recognised as a validated indication of medical cannabis usage
Safe drug consumption rooms & needle exchange programs should be rolled out region wide so as to give those with addiction issues safe options until they can seek help
