Norwegen. Norway Wants to Decriminalize Drug Use and Focus on Treatment
Norway started a push to decriminalize drug use this week, when the majority of its parliament moved to focus on treatment for addicted drug users instead of punishment.
“The majority in the parliament has asked the government to prepare for reform,” a spokesperson for the Norwegian legislature, the Storting, told Newsweek. “It has started a political process,” he said. But he cautioned that “it’s just the starting point,” and that there’s no legislation yet. (Newsweek, 14.12.2017)
