Interactive Map: Global Drug Policy Developments of 2017

2017 has seen a worsening opioid deaths crisis in North America, egregious brutality against people who use drugs in the Philippines, and the maintaining – or intensification – of prohibitionist drug policies in a number of countries.

Take a look at the map below to see some of the developments that have taken place over the past year. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list.
