Drug Lords Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Global Prohibition

Drug lords say no to drug policy reform and thank the UN for keeping drugs illegal

50 years ago the United Nations adopted the first international treaty to prohibit some drugs – particularly drugs used by non-Europeans such as cannabis, cocaine and heroin. The logic of the system was simple: any use of the drugs listed, unless sanctioned for medical or scientific purposes, would be deemed ‘abuse’ and thus illegal. As a result of this convention, the unsanctioned production and trafficking of these drugs became a crime in all member states of the UN. It is now clear that punitive drug policies have several unintended consequences: they fuel the global HIV epidemic, undermine public health systems, result in a crisis for criminal justice systems, lead to severe human rights violations and create a massive illicit market worth an estimated annual value of almost 400 billion USD. There is a small group though that benefits from the global war on drugs: organized criminals and terrorists. (Read more about the global drug war!)

How come drug dealers aren't easier to spot by the cops?

They look the same no matter what country you're in.

Humans eh!

Indeed, but it's funny because it's true.

NO WAY!

Fair fuks to the top men in the drugs industry.. They profit in the billions from every government's failure to control narcotics. If I could be them, I would. If I could be the governments, I'd be smart and succumb to the common man's demand and ensure he could get what he wants.

Fuk me, how many lives would be saved by lack of prohibition every year.. Thousands? Millions?
Think about every drug death you've ever heard off between gang killings and diry drugs...

Like fuk sake, I got offered coke five times on the way to the bar tonight..... Go on the drug war you fuking idiots.

Drugs, tis a serious business till you get caught.

You should have a choice to use whatever drugs you want. I don't think it is right to use Crack/Heroine/Meth but I think if a person wants to try LCD/Cannabis/MDMA they should have the choice.

Oh wait, you're a criminal if you take them. :rolleyes:

Yeah, remember they burnt down that headshop on Capel street last year, disgraceful. The building next door was up in flames too and there could've been people living upstairs for all they knew.
