New drug policy report: Peoples’ Voice – the roar of the silent majority

New drug policy report: Peoples’ Voice – the roar of the silent majority

Not all is bad, but it’s not all good either. This is the assessment of ten years of drug policy debate in the UN system, presented in the report “Peoples’ Voice” that was recently co-published by Drug Policy Futures and FORUT. The report has a critical analysis of the ongoing drug policy discourse and also a recommendation for policy areas that national governments should prioritize in the next ten years.

We are against any war on drugs. Just as much as we are against the ongoing war for drugs. Extremist positions are both risky, unrealistic and counterproductive, comments Dag Endal, project coordinator in FORUT and coordinator of the Drug Policy Futures (DPF) network. He underlines that no silver bullets exist. - What the world needs now is a comprehensive, balanced and knowledge-based drug policy, on the international level as well as in each country.
