Freedom and responsibility begin with knowledge

At the Center for Responsible Freedom we promote a risk and harm reduction approach to adult decisions, including those involving the use of psychoactive substances. We provide education based on objective knowledge. We strive to build a conscious society of free individuals who make responsible decisions.

What is harm reduction?

Harm reduction is an approach to the use of psychoactive substances that assumes the right of each individual to decide freely about his or her body and mind. In this sense, it promotes informed consumption that enables responsible and safe decisions for the people who decide to use them and their communities. In practice, it translates into private strategies and public policies aimed at minimizing their negative consequences.

CE Free

We are a citizen organization that promotes the reduction of risks and harms associated with the use of psychoactive substances and other adult practices, as well as their implementation in public policy. This is done through the creation and dissemination of objective knowledge for users, researchers and decision makers.
