Revision as of 14:31, 26 March 2011
The Journal of Global Drug Policy and Practice presents itself as an open access peer-reviewed public health journal. It is published only online, via its website, once per quarter by the Institute on Global Drug Policy and the International Scientific and Medical Forum on Drug Abuse. Neither of these is a scientific body; they are instead two of the many divisions of the Drug Free America Foundation, an organization that has referred to harm reduction efforts as "harm promotion", and characterized such efforts as "a tactic to normalize drug use". The stated goal of the Institute itself is as follows:
The Institute is charged with creating and strengthening international laws that hold drug users and dealers criminally accountable for their actions. It will vigorously promote treaties and agreements that provide clear penalties to individuals who buy, sell or use harmful drugs... The institute supports efforts to oppose policies based on the concept of harm reduction.
The journal has been subject to criticism that it was created out of a political agenda to combat harm-reduction polices. It is funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice. The president of the Canadian Health Libraries Association has also said it appears to be driven more by a political agenda than by science:
"That journal, which looks legitimate, which is being used by the Canadian government to back up various decisions, is supported by groups that believe enforcement is the route to reducing drug use."
Also referring to this journal, authors in the Canadian Medical Association Journal wrote,
Efforts to undermine the science specific to HIV prevention for injection drug users are becoming increasingly sophisticated. One new and worrisome trend is the creation of internet sites posing as open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journals. One such example, funded by the Drug Free America Foundation, contains a review of the research supporting needle exchange program and declares that the "effectiveness of NEPs to reduce HIV among IDUs is overrated;" it further claims that the WHO position on needle exchange programs "is not based on solid evidence."
