Invitation to comment

This blog is for researchers, providers, users, community groups, policy makers, and others who are interested in reframing America's response to drug use using the approach exemplified by the 2nd National Conference. The conference is designed to be the "table" where the stakeholders and those most affected by methamphetamine can come together to create solutions that are based in science and compassion. We invite law enforcement and criminal justice professionals as well as treatment providers and harm reductionists because they all have a role to play, and by working together, we hope to reduce the harms associated with drug use and the harms associated with bad drug policy. We invite you to comment and send us news and information to post. Weclome to the table!

"It's all about competing for money," Shurtleff said, adding he'd talked to Senate President John Valentine, R-Orem, who indicated the Legislature would be interested in looking for funding for the project.
