…the report by the Global Commission on Drug Policy headed “War On Drugs”… completed in June, 2011… states, in part, that: * The global war on drugs has failed with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world. * Vast expenditures on criminalization and repressive measures directed at producers, traffickers and consumers of illegal drugs have clearly failed to effectively curtail supply or consumption… The Report also contains a number of significant recommendations as well as analysis of decriminalization initiatives by a number of countries.
