The need to hear a range of expert perspectives on illicit substance use and/or addiction, e.g., public supply of addictive drugs (PSAD; also known as ‘safe supply’), decriminalization, or legalization, is key to developing policies that can address their social, health, and economic consequences. This online event will examine and allow for the full and transparent consideration of challenges, possible unintended consequences and concerns as we consider drug policy reforms.

Join UWaterloo CPI for their next CPI Talk!

Seny Kamara, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Brown University, discusses how cryptography has failed to address the needs of the disenfranchised and how this can be addressed.
