Global Commission on Drug Policy on Tuesday in New York, at its annual meeting, called for a fundamental change of global drug policies and decriminalisation of drug use.

Members of the commission are drawn from political leaders, including, former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former Mexican president Ernesto Zedillo, former Colombian president Cesar Gaviria, former Swiss president Ruth Dreifuss.

The group also includes former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Group.
The commission called for a complete overhaul of the global drug prohibition regime and focus on the promotion of the health and welfare of people instead of continuing to criminalise drug use.

It agreed that there must be an immediate end to punitive enforcement of drug policies, including jail time for non-violent, low-level users and producers of drugs.

The laws against the free cultivation and consumption of cannabis have no basis in logic or even common sense. We will continue ignoring these archaic and illogical laws until our government and elected representatives do the right thing and throw them into the dust heap of history.

Redundant laws like these not only restrict individual rights but because they're routinely ignored by otherwise law abiding citizens, contribute to making people "hardened" and blasé towards keeping other societally beneficial laws.

Just legalize it!

people have been so brainwashed to think that psychoactive plants like weed are harmful to the body with total ceaselessness on the very important role this plant in boosting our immune system.

i will keep educating people around me the importance of this plant moderately...

whether they like it or not this ban will be lifted and the eyes of the general public will clear to see what their government have been making them lose health-wise

End time laws

Ok.

Wiz khalifa

.

they should define non violent user. People using it will all claim that they are non-violent user. It is better to ban them than adding to the world challenge.

Yes! seems the day when I can walk down the street with my maryjane blazing is fast approaching. All the prudes be like WTF!!!

But smokers are liable to die young, they are just looking for different means which they will use to decrease world population.

WoW!
I might flirt with others but Mary Jane is my main Chic.

Non violent users

I concur with the liberalisation

They should also legalize and decriminalise the global purchase of arms and ammunition buy individuals. Because drugs and guns go hand in hand.

Say NO to cannabis!

oka

liberalization of madness n premature death

Someone has a friend in Syria.


Errhmm it would be an awesome bad idea, I didn't mean it how I said it, I mean...pheeeew...I'm high.

These whites are a bad influence to our world,from feminism to banning of caining children,to legalization of prostitution and pornography,to free abortion,to legalization of gays and now,legalization of drugs :O .What else would we not see in the hand of albinos?
The sad fact is people have so much lost confidence in their way of life,that they cling to every shiit from the west.USA has 55% of her first marriages ending in divorce,but Mexico sharing their border with USA has one of the lowest divorce rates.I wonder how drugs will be available to the non-violent guys and won't reach the violent ones.Rape and all other social vices would be high and more and more people will end up tasting the bars. THIS IS NOTHING BUT ABUSE OF FREEDOM.

Some people dey smoke igbo, and it dey make dem kolo, so if e no good for your brain quit!




Ermmm, wait o, tell me something o! Am i on front page? Holy ghost!!! All thanks to all my SK mates!
