Students for Sensible Drug Policy
Mission Statement:
Students for Sensible Drug Policy is committed to providing education on harms caused by the War on Drugs, working to involve youth in the political process, and promoting an open, honest, and rational discussion of alternative solutions to our nation's drug problems.
Values Statement
SSDP is a non-violent youth oriented organization that neither encourages nor condemns drug use. Rather, we seek to reduce the harms caused by drug abuse and drug policies.

We believe that in order to protect the autonomy of individuals' minds, bodies and spirit, drug laws and policies must always respect personal choice and freedom so long as a person's actions do not infringe upon another's freedoms or safety.

SSDP focuses on drug issues with the greatest impact on young and underrepresented communities. We strive to achieve sustainable policies that foster civil rights, health and safety through the exploration of alternatives to our current Drug War.

[COMMENT: In a recent editorial in High Times, Richard Stratton had this to say about SSDP:
SSDP, with over 200 chapters on college campuses around the country, has the potential to become the Students for a Democratic Society of the new millennium. . . . It's about time the fools and liars and greedy scumbags who run this country stopped spewing their paraquat-coated bullshit long enough to listen. And it's up to you, the young, the not so young, the open-minded, the students and citizens for a sensible drug policy, to be heard.
