 Aims

To promote humane restrictive drug policies of prevention and early intervention against drug abuse in order to prevent further damage to individuals and society.

This is called EURAD's Third Way Policy

• The First Way is the war on drugs
• The Second way advocates legalising drugs
• The Third Way is to reduce the demand for drugs.

This approach, combined with support to the First Way (resistance) is the key.

To prevent any form of legalisation of drugs, recognising the 1961 UN Single Convention (amended in 1972) and the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances as basic platforms for current and future drug control.

To improve European co-operation in support of families with drug problems.

To promote the education of parents, youth, and other concerned citizens about all matters concerning drug abuse through accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information and research findings.
