Drug policy reform racked by internal dissent

Drug policy reform racked by internal dissent | Beckley News : Cannabis - Marijuana | Scoop.it
Beckley Foundation's insight:

In its preliminary report, the Justice Reform Commission suggested 'depenalisation' of simple possession of soft drugs as marijuana: whereby simple possession will no longer be considered a criminal offence - though drug trafficking will remain a crime. A very similar proposal had been put forward in 2011 by Dr George Grech, clinical director of Sedqa, who called for Malta to follow the example of Portugal: where all drugs have been decriminalised, resulting in a sharp decline in problem drug use.
