Ms. Keady,
There are two quotes to this article that makes it relevant for me to share to you. Please read in full. Thank you.
Every day, more people agree the war on drugs has failed and must change. As the
Global Commission on Drug Policy has highlighted, and campaigns like
Breaking The Taboo
have illustrated, it's time for the rest of the world to learn from the
likes of Portugal and Uruguay, and the brave steps they have taken to
treat drugs as a health problem.
It's
time to speak out.
It's time to adopt and experiment with new approaches. It's time to ask
governments around the world to study the evidence and look at the harm
being done by outdated drug laws. Most importantly, it's time to start
thinking about and treating drug problems as a health issue, not a
criminal issue.
