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!

"Meth has been a huge issue in the gay community for decades. It's not something that's new and it's not something that's ever going away," Michael Siever, Ph.D., director of the Stonewall Project, told the Bay Area Reporter. "One of the biggest issues for so many guys is that their sexuality gets hijacked by crystal meth."
