Clearnet warning - http://www.globalcommissionondrugs.org/wp-content/themes/gcdp_v1/pdf/Global_Commission_on_Drug_Policy_Press_Release_English.pdf
We may be getting there and apologies if there is already a thread bringing this up.
Good news all in all, seems some important people are realising finally (just 30 years too late)
Peace - Tel

Hmmm, don't bet on it dude.

Got to hope, Limet, you gotta hope.
Least the language they are using is a bit more realistic, if not completely defeatist as far as their failed "war".
You read through the cosignatories and there is an amazing absence of US attendees.
It'll take a while, but you wouldn't have seen a report like that 5 years ago let alone 10.
I'll be happy if by the time I die I can LEGALLY choose to go to store/pharmacy/whatever and legally buy what I would be arrested for having right now.
If we can get there in my lifetime, that's enough and probably realistic imho.
EU will get there first (Switzerland/ Scandinavia and lowlands), then UK/ Oz/ NZ and last of all America. Wonder how much money they'd save if the US released all their non violent drug related inmates from their prisons?
Pisses me off just thinking about it tbh so I'll stahp.

I wish, but i doubt it, a whole new generation will need to come to power, by that i mean the people born tomorrow will have a much better chance of legalizing then we will in our life times. I think even the powerful people know they need to chance their tactics at the very least, theyre losing.
