Drug policies are a feminist issue. Feminism must be at the heart of drug policies.

'The war on drugs and the denial of indigenous rights' is starting now!

Follow here for live-tweet and quotes. Starting with this one:

"UN drug treaties forced countries to criminalise the plants that had been at the cornerstone of local communities"

#DecoloniseDrugPolicy 'The criminalisation of indigenous communities continues unabashed today.

Just as the UN adopted the declaration on indigenous rights, the UN drugs regime encouraged countries to criminalise their practices'.
