Despite the growing volume of published material on the impacts of various drug policies, there is a distinct lack of materials produced by young people that focuses on the particular impacts of these drug policies on young people, and rarely are recommendations made about which policy reforms can be introduced to improve the lives of young people.

Youth RISE has launched "Youth RISE for Reform: Drug Policy Series" in order to contribute to the growing discourse around alternatives to current approaches in drug policy. Through this series we hope to add a unique perspective to the debate by focussing on young people and how the need for reform is so important to such an under-represented yet much talked about constituency in policy discussions.
