Drug Science

Drug Science is a UK-based independent charity and research organization focused on evidence-based drug education, harm reduction, medical cannabis, and psychedelic science. Founded by Professor David Nutt, it was established to provide scientific analysis of drug harms and benefits free from political or commercial influence. The organization publishes research, runs education and training programs, supports healthcare professional training, and engages policymakers and the public on drug policy and prescribing issues. Its current activities prominently include medical cannabis access, psychedelic medicine education, and public-facing drug information resources. Drug Science is not a therapeutic product developer in the conventional biotech or pharma sense, but it operates at the intersection of healthcare, clinical education, and drug policy.
