About Us

The Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs is the leading independent scientific body on the harms and benefits of both legal and controlled drugs in the UK. 

Our eminent drug scientists work together to ensure that the public can access clear, evidence based information on drugs without interference from political or commercial interest.

It will address issues surrounding drug harms and benefits; regulation and education; prevention, treatment and recovery.

We will also be using social networking sites: follow us now on Twitter at @ProfDavidNutt and join us on Facebook.
