The founders of the PLNDP envisioned an active and committed group willing to tackle the potentially controversial area of national drug policy. The group already initiated a serious national debate about drug policy, inside and outside of the medical profession. Several national professional societies moved beyond their existing policies to embrace components of the PLNDP initiative. The group meets again in the summer of 1999 to share goals and articulate the next steps in research and advocacy. This meeting invites leaders in law, the enforcement community, legislators, community coalition leaders, and experts in addiction medicine and addiction psychiatry. PLNDP leaders expect that the subsequent coalitions will affect the course of discussion about the nation's drug policy far into the future.
国家毒品政策领导与发展项目（PLNDP）的创始人设想组建一个积极且坚定的团体，愿意应对国家毒品政策这一潜在争议领域。该团体已在医学专业内外引发了一场关于毒品政策的严肃全国性辩论。几个全国性专业协会超越了其现有政策，采纳了PLNDP倡议的部分内容。该团体于1999年夏天再次会面，以分享目标并阐明研究与宣传的后续步骤。此次会议邀请了法律界领袖、执法部门人员、立法者、社区联盟领袖以及成瘾医学和成瘾精神病学专家。PLNDP领导人预计，随后形成的联盟将在很长一段时间内影响关于国家毒品政策的讨论进程。
