DFCR expands its mission beyond cannabis reform and advocacy to include psychedelics and more
WASHINGTON - Nyenta -- Doctors for Cannabis Regulation (DFCR), the global voice for physicians and other health professionals to advance the legalization and science-based regulation of cannabis, announced its rebrand under a new name, Doctors for Drug Policy Reform (D4DPR). Board members voted on the expansion to allow the organization to address a wider range of drug policy issues beyond cannabis, making room for more inclusivity and collaboration.
With the focus of the newly-rebranded organization now opened to advocating for more drug policies beyond cannabis, yet still grounded in empirical evidence, public health, racial justice, equity, and human rights, D4DPR is now able to reach a broader community of health professionals, policymakers, researchers and more.
"For the past century, the punitive approach to drug use has caused enormous harm to public health. Doctors for Drug Policy Reform is the natural progression of our organization's efforts to provide a clear voice to physicians and other medical professionals working to change these laws, providing access to medications and other interventions with proven therapeutic benefits," said DFCR/D4DPR Board President Bryon Adinoff.

On the psychedelics side, the organization will leverage the expertise of current board member and lawyer Adriana Kertzer. As the founder and principal at Plant Medicine Law Group, a law firm focused on psychedelic infrastructure, Adriana brings a wealth of knowledge of the space to D4DPR and will draw on her network to identify new board members and new committees.
Mindful of its newly evolved vision, D4DPR invites other drug policy experts, medical professionals and advocates from around the world to serve as resources to support the principles of the organization and/or lend financial support to help the organization achieve its goals. Those interested in fostering more informed discussions around drug policy reform, advocating for evidence-based approaches to all substances, and supporting access to harm reduction services are encouraged to reach out to info@d4dpr.org.
