World Leaders Say End the Drug War

Submitted by smorgan on

Not all of them just yet, but it's a start:

On Thursday the former presidents of several countries, former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, former U.S. secretary of state George Shultz, former U.S. Fed chairman Paul Volcker and other luminaries will release a report calling the global "war on drugs" a failure and encouraging nations to pursue legalizing and regulating drugs as a way to put a stop the violence inherent in the illegal drug market.

If you haven't yet, you still have a short time to sign this massive petition in support of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, which is doing an excellent job creating international pressure for drug policy reform. Tomorrow's events will hopefully bury the notion that there remains any international consensus for continuing the War on Drugs.
