User Decriminalization

This project was carried out in 2017 and was sponsored by the Drug Policy Alliance. As part of the initiative, El Punto en la Montaña, Inc. (EPM) staff developed an educational campaign for the community and served as a liaison between the Municipal Police of the town of Comerío and people who inject drugs (PWID) in the region. In addition to labeling common spaces with the decriminalization and humanization campaign for PWID, EPM staff educated members of the police force on the rights of drug users, reviewing Law 73, amendment to the Controlled Substances Law of Puerto Rico and focusing police work on a harm reduction perspective when it comes to working with our participants.
