The Drug Policy Alliance is a U.S.-based national nonprofit dedicated to ending the drug war and addressing its harms through a non-punitive, regulated drug market. It argues that drug regulation should be grounded in evidence, health, equity, and human rights. The organization works with other movements and across policy levels to change laws, advance justice, and save lives. Headquartered in New York City, the nonprofit operates as a mid-sized organization focused on policy reform, research, and advocacy. It engages policymakers, public health professionals, and communities affected by drug policies to identify and address systemic harms. In 2023, DPA partnered with THC NYC to produce an exhibit centering the stories of people harmed by a marijuana possession charge, illustrating a collaborative approach to policy discussions.
