The Eindhoven has seven key recommendations which will lead to ensuring a drug-free environment and that children are protected from illicit drug use.
These are:
- SECURE A DRUG-FREE SOCIETY by protecting the right of all, particularly children, to live in a drug-free environment
- PRIORITIZE PREVENTION of initiation or onset of illicit drug use in all policy and action plans
- PROTECT CHILDREN from exposure and participation in environments trivializing or encouraging illicit drug use
- MOBILIZE THE COMMUNITY to assume ownership and leadership of efforts at addressing illicit drug use
- RESIST AND REJECT the push to normalize illicit drug use
- UNEQUIVOCALLY ESTABLISH that there is, and can be, no right whatsoever, to detract from the right of the child to a drug-free life and an environment free from drugs. Thus all claims to a so-called ‘right to use drugs’ can have no legal substance
- ENSURE THAT REGULATORY AGENCIES charged with certifying medicines adhere to the scientifically rigorous and time-tested pathways to registering such products when dealing with controlled substances such as cannabis, LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, and other such substances and their derivatives.
