"Unfortunately, five years after the Global Commission on Drug Policy declared that the war on drugs had failed, we are still debating whether to update a three-decade-old global drugs policy.
I believe that the failure in this field comes from a lack of understanding. We require a policy that addresses today’s realities, and this is what I urge the Commission and the UN to do. We require a policy that acknowledges the increased prevalence of synthetic psychoactive substances, which are very extremely life-threatening, the new dimensions of trafficking including Silkroad and the Darknet. These are realities that can be addressed only through a shift in policy. We must safeguard the best interests of our citizens and their families and only by addressing the now can we focus on the future."@mt2
