Drug Peace! - Actions to the UN Conference on Drugs - Vienna, 7-9. March 2008.
In June 1998 the United Nations announced a 10-year strategy to achieve measurable results in the fight against drugs. This strategy includes a significant reduction in the cultivation of cannabis, coca and opium poppy by the year 2008. On March 10th, 2008, shall take the Drug Commission of the United Nations in Vienna to review the results of this strategy.
was in the last 10 years, the war on drugs "once again unsuccessful. The use of drugs can cause problems, but the prohibition of drugs causes disasters. Millions of people are criminalized, billions of dollars are spent on a pointless and counterproductive "war on drugs". Efforts to reduce the harm and improve responsible use of drugs are actively thwarted by governments. Meanwhile, the drug market remains in the hands of organized crime, whose huge profits. This disrupted the global economic system, and widespread corruption is a consequence. The drug policy should be a matter of public health, not the executive.
We ask the UN, the right of every adult citizen of the world to grow plants for personal use and not commercial purposes. At the same time should be allowed each country to test a drug policy that are not based on prohibition. "Vienna 2008" the opportunity of this urgent message to the United Nations. Please join us in Vienna!
