One of the most experienced and respected Dutch psychiatrists in the field of drug use, Frederick Polak worked in the drug department of the municipal health services (GGD) for thirteen years and has written and co-authored numerous articles and reports including 'Drugsbeheersing door Legalisatie' (Drug Management through Legalisation), 'Thinking About Drug Law Reform: Some Political Dynamics of Medicalization', and 'American Criticism of Dutch Drug Policy Unfounded'. He continues to appear at many conferences and public events throughout Europe as a highly informed yet down-to-earth speaker who clearly argues his point that drug prohibition is actually counterproductive to protecting the health of the general public. He is on the Board of Directors of Stichting Drugsbeleid (The Netherlands Drug Policy Foundation).
