Abstract

This report is the culmination of over a decadeâ?Ts thinking and experience of campaigning for drug policy reform. This process has been informed recently by the â?~Options for Controlâ?T seminar series held in conjunction with the Mannheim Centre for the study of Criminology and Criminal Justice in May and July 2004. The report fulfils four aims: â?¢ provides a critique of the failings of prohibition â?¢ offers a framework for regulating drugs and for developing effective drug policy â?¢ suggests a roadmap for reform â?¢ offers opportunities to influence progressive reform The report will be updated periodically to take account of developments. The hope is that this work will be a practical aid to the development of more effective drug policy and feedback is welcomed.
