Transform Drug Policy Foundation

The Transform Drug Policy Foundation (commonly known as Transform) is an independent, UK-based charity that works nationally and internationally towards a just and effective system of legal regulation for all drugs. Its vision is a world where drug policy contributes to safer and healthier societies. Transform educates the public and policymakers that drug use is a matter of health, not a criminal issue, and campaigns to get drugs under government control and out of the hands of organised crime through legalising and responsibly regulating drug markets. The organisation develops and promotes viable options for legal regulation and supports governments, policymakers and practitioners in achieving positive change. In addition to its long-term goal of legal regulation, Transform works actively to support pragmatic changes to how drugs and drug use are approached that can save lives today. Through its Anyone's Child campaign, it amplifies the voices of families whose lives have been wrecked by current drug laws and who are now campaigning to change them. Transform has also formed an Allyship with the social action network Blaksox to ensure that the voices and experiences of Black people and communities most impacted by prohibition inform the debate as the UK moves towards drug law reform. Transform values its independence and makes a determined effort to avoid conflicts of interest. It does not represent any stakeholders in the drug policy landscape beyond the individuals and communities directly affected by drug policy failures. For this reason, it has clear guidelines on how it manages relationships with industries that stand to profit from drug markets of any kind and does not accept money from these industries. The organisation is led by Chief Executive Officer and Campaign Manager Jane Slater. Its work includes research and analysis, such as a report suggesting that legalising cannabis could bring up to £1.5 billion annually to the UK treasury, and commentary on international developments such as cannabis regulation in Canada and Germany and Switzerland's experiments with cannabis regulation.
