A Quiet Revolution: Drug Decriminalisation Policies in Practice Across the Globe' is the first report to support Release's campaign 'Drugs - It’s Time for Better Laws'. This report looks at over 20 countries that have adopted some form of decriminalisation of drug possession, including some States that have only decriminalised cannabis possession. The main aim of the report was to look at the existing research to establish whether the adoption of a decriminalised policy led to significant increases in drug use - the simple answer is that it did not. This then begs the question that if the model of enforcement adopted has little impact on levels of use what is the point in pursuing a criminal justice approach which carries significant harms for individuals?

 Eller det vil sige. Forbuddet er naturligvis ikke virkningsløst. Det medfører f.eks. en stor organiseret kriminalitet med sig, milliarder i sorte penge, borgerkrigslignede tilstande i Mexico med hundredtusinder døde som følge, dårligere liv og helbred for brugere af produkterne, mm. Men altså når det ikke engang reducerer forbruget hvad i al verden skal vi så med det?
