Preferred term

supply-side policies  

Definition

  • Supply-side policies include efforts to disrupt and reduce the supply of drugs into the United States as well as practices that make it more difficult for illicit drug users to obtain drugs. These approaches can be contrasted with demand-side policies, which are aimed at lowering demand for drugs through prevention and treatment measures.
