Help end the Drugs War: Force the Government to reveal the truth

The prohibition of drugs has terrible consequences for millions of individuals, communities and entire countries that far outweigh any benefits that it is supposed to bring.

The Government knows it, but for short-term political gain, refuses to end the war on drugs.

They also know, as Joseph McNamara, former police chief of Kansas City, put it: " The drug war cannot stand the light of day. It will collapse …as soon as people find out what's really going on ."

So the Government is determined to keep us in the dark.

Which is why when (the now former) Home Office Minister Bob Ainsworth MP was asked to audit drug law enforcement to see how effective it really is, he refused, saying; " Why would we want to do that unless we were going to legalise drugs? "

We believe it is time to force the Government's hand. They must carry out comprehensive research comparing the costs and benefits of drug prohibition policies with a health-led regulation and control approach.

Shockingly this has NEVER been done ANYWHERE.

Why? Because the result will be a torch so bright the whole world will see the truth about the War on Drugs.

And you can help make it happen!
