Students

150 Chapters and Growing...

Are you a student who thinks that the War on Drugs is doing far more harm than good? If so, you belong in a chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy!

Since its inception in 1998, Students for Sensible Drug Policy has been a vibrant, grassroots movement seeking to replace the Drug War with sensible, humane alternatives. The organization is for students and by students, with two thirds of our national board of directors comprised of students who are elected by their peers. And while the national headquarters is generally staffed by nonstudents, they are employed to serve, coordinate, and represent our student chapters.

I am a student. What can I do to help?
