In days we could finally see the beginning of the end of the war on drugs. This decades long policy has completely failed to curb the plague of drug addiction, while costing countless lives, devastating communities, and funneling trillions of dollars into violent organized crime networks.
Drug policy experts agree that the most sensible policy is to regulate, but politicians are afraid to touch the issue. In days, a UN Commission of global leaders including billionaire Richard Branson, and five current and former heads of State, will break the taboo and publicly call for a move towards decriminalization and regulation of drugs.
This could be a once-in-a-generation tipping-point moment -- if enough of us call for an end to this madness. Politicians say they understand that the war on drugs has failed, but claim the public isn't ready for an alternative. Let's show them that a sane and humane policy is not taboo. Sign the petition on the right-- it will be delivered by the the Commission to the UN Secretary General and global leaders in New York:
