This is such a loss to the field of drug policy studies, as well as the tragic loss for Dave's family and friends. Dave was a true pioneer in the study of international drug policy. His careful and engaging scholarship, his skill in communicating it, and his passion for better, more humane and effective policies shone through his writing, teaching and the many brilliant presentations he gave at international events. This week at the University of Sheffield, we are teaching his work to a new generation of students, eager to learn from the best in the field. Dave's work is referenced in all the readings we recommend. I cite him every time I write about international drug policy. The conversations we had shaped my thinking on these topics, and I'm sure that's true for countless other people. His work will live on.
