The rise in methamphetamine use has provoked a barrage of misinformation and reckless policies, such as mandatory minimum sentences, increased penalties for minor offenders, and major restrictions against certain medicines.
The Open Society Foundations hosts an expert panel to explore illicit methamphetamine use and its consequences, including alarmist propaganda and the flawed policies that have followed. The event also looks at humane approaches to methamphetamine users and smarter drug policies.
This event celebrates the release of the latest report by Columbia University psychology professor Carl Hart, titled Methamphetamine: Fact vs. Fiction and Lessons from the Crack Hysteria.
Speakers
Professor Carl Hart, Columbia University
Bill Piper, Drug Policy Alliance, Director of National Affairs
Holly Catania, Drug Policy, Law and Health Consultant
