KnowDrugs Information

Know Drugs is the nation's first harm reduction drug education organization built to move schools out of abstinence-only frameworks — because the research is clear: scare tactics and "just say no" don't work. Founded by a Stanford PhD researcher in adolescent decision making and substance use, Know Drugs brings the science of prevention into schools in a way that actually resonates with students: developmentally grounded, honest, and rooted in harm reduction. Real conversations about drugs, risk, and identity. Grounded in the strengths, not weaknesses, of the adolescent period. What we offer: → Student assemblies and guest speaking → Teacher training to develop in-house support If your school is rethinking how it approaches prevention and education, we'd love to connect.
