    Drug Policy There's a narrative that says if you are using drugs you are a bad person because you are breaking the law, when actually use of drugs requires a health and safety approach - we can learn a lot from Portugal, says former Prime Minister of New Zealand @HelenClarkNZpic.twitter.com/ZupdEU1Qs7

        What would a decriminalization amendment of UN Drug Treaties look like? Like this: http://www.unodc.org/documents/ungass2016//Contributions/Civil/Law_Enforcement_Against_Prohibition/DECRIMINALIZATION_AMENDMENT_UN_DRUG_TREATIES_.pdf … What country will be the first to file? @StateINL @senadomexicano @WOLA_org @MUCDpic.twitter.com/tmemJyngWe

        How true. Portugal is a seminal case. The social cost (law enforcement), ancillary crime (murder, robbery) and the hypocrisy are all easy to see. The focus on treatment and rehabilitation is the answer. To say it publicly takes courage.

        I think the first thing we have got to stop doing is imagining every person who uses drugs is doing it to get shit faced, they arent not all, there are a group of functioning addicts some in very highly thought of positions in society,to decriminalize the use of drugs would go a,

        long way to letting people get on with there lives instead of the constant worry that if they get busted their whole life is over,some will always want to use, to assume every addict wants or can stop is also wrong, there are many failings in health systems and prejudices against

        Nearly every other vice you can think of has been legal or a long time, be it alcohol, sugar,fat,gambling,exercising to get endorphin release is there or all to indulge in no matter the cost to themselves or others but some drugs are labeled as just bad or evil makes no sense.

        CLARISIMO...lo primero es descriminalizar a los que USAN Drogas , y luego descriminalizar a las drogas mismas como pasos para evitar comercio negro, ganancias increíbles y claro riñas y muerte por la Opulencia que pretenden provocar !...
