Independent Journalism for Evidence-Based Drug Policy
Stuked is an independent, non-profit publication dedicated to drug policy reform, harm reduction, and evidence based reporting.
We cover the evolving landscape of drug legislation, public health, and scientific innovation, with a particular focus on developments across Ireland, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
Founded by a small collective of writers, researchers, and advocates, we believe that open, factual discussion is essential to shaping compassionate and effective drug policy. Our mission is to promote informed public understanding, amplify credible research, and provide a platform for diverse perspectives in this rapidly changing field.
Our Focus
Our editorial work explores key areas at the intersection of law, science, and society, including:
- Drug policy reform and legislative change
- Harm reduction strategies and public health innovation
- Cannabis, CBD, and psychedelics research
- Social equity and criminal justice issues
- Industry developments and ethical innovation
We seek to bridge the gap between academic research, policy debate, and public awareness — producing journalism that is both accessible and rigorously sourced.
Who We Are
We are a small team based in Ireland and the UK, united by a shared belief in the value of transparency, compassion, and scientific integrity in drug policy.
Our contributors include:
- Independent journalists and editors
- Policy analysts and researchers
- Scientists, clinicians, and advocates for reform
Though modest in size, we operate with the same principles as established newsrooms: editorial independence, factual accuracy, and public accountability.
Our Values
- Integrity – We prioritise evidence and objectivity over ideology.
- Transparency – We disclose sources, funding, and affiliations wherever relevant.
- Collaboration – We welcome partnerships with journalists, academics, and organisations aligned with harm reduction and reform.
- Accessibility – We believe good information should be open and freely available.
Our Commitment
As the conversation around drugs and public health continues to evolve, Stuked aims to remain a trusted source of credible information, providing a space for rigorous journalism, scientific insight, and informed dialogue.
Our work is supported entirely by readers, contributors, and ethical collaborations. We accept no funding that compromises our editorial independence.
