On The Way To Ungass 2016

The last UNGASS was held in 1998 under the slogan: “A drug-free world: we can do it!” After almost 20 years, many governments feel frustrated at of the evident failure and measurable unintended consequences of this utopian strategy. But can we expect governments to discuss the alternatives to current drug policies next year? We asked participants to share their views with us.
