Transform is pleased to announce that our latest publication, 'After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation' will be launched tomorrow at the House of Commons , with simultaneous launches taking place in the US (at the Drug Policy Alliance conference in Albuquerque), Australia and Mexico. December will see further launch events in Brazil and the EU parliament.

There is a growing recognition around the world that the prohibition of drugs is a counterproductive failure. However, a major barrier to drug law reform has been a widespread fear of the unknown—just what could a post-prohibition regime look like?

For the first time, ‘After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation’ answers that question by proposing specific models of regulation for each main type and preparation of prohibited drug, coupled with the principles and rationale for doing so.

We demonstrate that moving to the legal regulation of drugs is not an unthinkable, politically impossible step in the dark, but a sensible, pragmatic approach to control drug production, supply and use.

The complete text will be available as a free pdf from the Transform website (from 11.30 on Nov 12th). Hardback copies are also available. Exec summaries are available in print and pdf format in English, Portugese and Spanish.
