"The War on Drugs has failed," declares the Global Commission on Drug Policy. This international group further urged nations to consider legalising cannabis and other drugs to undermine organised crime and protect their citizens' health.
The commission's report adds that money spent by governments on futile efforts to reduce the supply of drugs and on jailing people on drug-related offences could be better spent on different ways to reduce drug demand and the harm caused by drug abuse.
