Welcome to the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs
The new Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs has been founded by Professor David Nutt to objectively review and investigate the scientific evidence of drug harms free from political concerns.
All too often, crucial information on the effects of drugs is buried away in arcane scientific journals and the debates of expert groups. We want to make sure that this information is much more accessible.
The Committee will provide accessible information on drugs to the wider public and engage in an ongoing dialogue. We will be developing a dynamic web presence and making sure that all our work is freely available.
The web address for the Committee is www.drugscience.org.uk and will be live by 1 April 2010.
We will also be using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter: follow us now on Twitter at @ProfDavidNutt.
