New report: U.S. Government Data Demonstrates Failure of Cannabis Prohibition

The International Centre for Science in Drug Policy's latest report demonstrates the clear failure of U.S. marijuana prohibition and supports calls for evidence-based models to legalize and regulate the use of cannabis. The report has already received the support and endorsement of the British Medical Journal, one of the world’s most influential medical journals which has published a commentary in support of the report's findings, and over 60 of the ICSDP's scientific network members from more than 30 countries.



Thousands of scientists, doctors, politicians, police, and people around the world are calling for reform

The Vienna Declaration is a scientific document calling for evidence-based illicit drug policy. Doctors, Nobel Laureates, politicians, law enforcement, literary icons, people who use drugs, and now entire municipalities have joined the call for a full re-orientation of illicit drug policy.

Prohibition, drug law enforcement drive violence, gun offenses and homicides

Violence is among the primary concerns of communities around the world. The ICSDP's report "Effect of Drug Law Enforcement on Drug-Related Violence: Evidence from a Scientific Review" shows that violence in drug markets and in drug-producing areas (i.e. Mexico) is increasingly understood as a means for drug gangs to gain or maintain a share of the lucrative illicit drug market.
