TRANSFORM Drug Policy Foundation launched its new guide to the legal regulation of drugs, After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation, on the 12th of November in the UK House of Commons. Simultaneous launch events took place in the United States at the Drug Policy Alliance conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in Australia and Mexico. December will see further launch events in Brazil and the EU parliament.
There is a growing recognition around the world that the prohibition of drugs is a counterproductive failure. However, a major barrier to drug law reform has been a widespread fear of the unknown—just what could a post-prohibition regime look like?
After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation answers that question for the first time. It does this by proposing specific models of regulation for each main type and preparation of prohibited drug, coupled with the principles and rationale for doing so.
Further, the book demonstrates that moving to the legal regulation of drugs is not an unthinkable, politically impossible step in the dark, but a sensible, pragmatic approach to control drug production, supply and use.
After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation is available FREE, in PDF format, at the TRANSFORM website - http://tdpf.org.uk/ - in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
TRANSFORM Drug Policy Foundation exists to promote sustainable health and wellbeing by bringing about a just, effective and humane system to regulate and control drugs at local, national and international levels. Its vision is a world in which the War on Drugs is over, and effective and humane systems of drug regulation have been established.
