Preferred term

demand-side policies  

Definition(s)

  • Demand-side drug policies aim to reduce the demand for the product primarily through prevention programs and the treatment of existing addicts. Supply-side drug policies, in contrast, have the goal of making it more difficult to buy illegal drugs through incarcerating manufacturers and dealers, destroying crops, or disrupting other parts of the supply chain.
