As a Board Observer at Penington Institute, Gideon is proud to support the Institute’s work to reduce drug-related harm and improve community health and safety.
Sensible drug policy is essential for managing and balancing a series of societal imperatives – respecting adults to make decisions for themselves, mitigating the harms drugs can do to individuals and society, and mitigating the harms bad drug policy can do to the same.
