Global Dialogue on Drugs Changing Rapidly

Two more recent news articles reemphasize how the drug dialogue is changing – and, yes, we’ve been “on top if it” from the very beginning. In fact, we focused on worldwide drug legalization in a series of groundbreaking articles. You can see one here:
World Leaders Make Bold New Recommendations To Legalize Drugs, As High Alert Predicted
Now the mainstream media are joining in. Here’s an excerpt from a recent article posted at The Daily Beast:
Britain Admits Anti-Drug Laws Are Useless … The government commissioned a massive study on the impact of international anti-drug laws – but its conclusions have the Conservatives spooked.
It’s the recreational drug report they didn’t want you to see. A comprehensive study of international narcotics regulations commissioned by Britain has concluded that there is no evidence tough anti-drug laws have any effect on levels of use.
Senior government officials are accused of trying to delay or even prevent the publication of the report, which contradicts the official policy of Britain and many of its Western allies, including the United States.
The coalition government’s crime prevention minister said the report has been ready for months but “it was suppressed by the Conservatives.” Coalition junior partners, the Liberal Democrats, have advocated relaxing drug laws and argued that there are far too many drug users in jail.
