Binghampton SSDP Features in Pipe Dream
A group of Binghamton University students have been leading an effort to get a Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) chapter chartered on campus.
The process has been spearheaded by Ben Glick — a sophomore majoring in psychology who works as an overdose intervention specialist overseeing Narcan distribution for Broome County — alongside Truth Pharm, a local nonprofit harm reduction organization. Glick now plans on bringing his knowledge and training to the campus community.
To the SSDP, “sensible” policy refers to harm reduction, a neutral approach to drug use that emphasizes health and safety even during active addiction. The goal is to create a judgment-free environment and prevent overdoses, as well as the spread of disease.
