International Drug Policy: Animated Report 2009

[Patriol666]

capital punishment for drug abuse!

[tockman2]

Speaking as an old age pensioner I completely agree with the implicated policies of this video. It is absurd that we should waste so much resource on penalising users. We should regulate the use of drugs, enforcing quality and exacting taxes. Imagine if alcohol was banned and it was mobsters who controlled its sale! End prohibition I say and bring on education instead.

If anyone agree's with thiis video then i recommend looking up Professor David Nutt. the guy knows what he's talking about.

Drug-Use should be under Health Service NOT Law-Enforcement. As was the state of affairs until 1967 in the U.K, resulting in the U.K being hailed as the 'Envy of the World' because of our pragmatic Drug-Policy. Looking at America it was seen that the U.K system - the British System - was far superior than that of the USA with drug gangs ,knives,guns. The U.K did not have this gangland violence at this point in history, so why do we copy so many of USA's failed drug policies?

I am from Sweden,and im NOT agree with my countrys drug policy!People with drugproblems are forced to live on the streets like dogs.Of course they get infected and must steal to survive.This is a typical situation in most countries.I blame the U.N for making people with sickness/problems live like streetdogs.

[xXxIndeclinexXx]

@axvall Blame the United States for inspiring the first draconian international drug conventions/laws, and for meddling in the domestic affairs of nations all around the world in order to exert influence over the drug trade.

From youtube comments in general i can see that the majority of persons agree with legalization. It's time.

[jenn1ifer]

youtube is majority young people and liberals. Thats why

[CalyptratusTZM]

[orkasteez]

[Bombersin2010]

Excellent, engaging work. Thank you for this animation.

[pop51pop]

I agree with everthing presented, but dont leave us former drug users out that are now drug free , as many of us agree with this point of view as well. Us and them is win-loose thinking. Pro harm reduction former user.

Drug abuse should be a healthcare problem, not a legal problem.

Not until Antonio Maria Costa is sacked will UN drug policy even begin to get sane.

[el2I2ol2]

well, in many so called "Socialist" European countries drug addiction is already (or getting) under (psychiatric) Health care. During (experimental) programs where they get free drugs, drug addicts start to get normal life including jobs and stuff. Most will use less (decrease of stress), or even stop using. When using, they feel no difference as they had to shoot insulin - not as junkie but like a patient and having a worthy life.

This is great! Good idea. Thx
