End the drug war. Respond to the evidence based demands for decriminalisation.

Petition Details

The results of our country's Zero-Tolerance Drug Prohibition policy are multifaceted, overlapping, and overwhelmingly negative. There exists copious evidence which builds a strong case against prohibition- which pushes drugs into the black market, fails to reduce harm, addiction rates, and violence.

Additional Information

Professor Sue Pryce, at the School of International Relations, University of Nottingham, UK, claims: 'Prohibition has provided incentives for a complex and sophisticated network of international drug gangs, widespread violence, the corruption of state institutions, the involuntary displacement of people and environmental damage'. (Extract from: Sue Pryce's 'Fixing Drugs, p.2, (2012)
