What is the government's drug strategy?

The government's current drug strategy, 'From Harm to Hope' (2021), aims to reduce drug-related harm and crime. It focuses on cutting demand through prevention and treatment, and disrupting supply chains. Charities are now urging quicker action, suggesting current measures aren't reversing the rising death toll, especially with cocaine.
