Report on Resistance 3: Youth Use Drugs - Why Deny It?

In this report, we’re offering up knowledge produced by young drug users—the people most affected by drug policy—that should be taken into account in harm reduction services to better meet the needs of youth who use drugs. We hope this gives a voice to youth who have been left out of official conversations about drug policy, decriminalization, and a medicalized safe supply of drugs. Youth voices need to be heard, and what they say needs to translate into actual change. This report will engage youth from the very start to finish. We will consult a variety of youth with different life experiences, i.e. youth who use drugs, youth in recovery, street involved youth, and people who have aged out of youth services.
