Canvassing for Opinion - aka "Blairs Brain on Cannabis"

“I think what was truly depressing about my time in UKADCU was that the overwhelming majority of professionals I met, including those from the police, the health service, government and voluntary sectors held the same view: the illegality of drugs causes far more problems for society and the individual than it solves." - Julian Critchley, UK drug policy advisor to PM Tony Blair.

United Nations Driving Shapelle Mad

attn: Blair Norton,TVNZ Reporter,Christchurch.

Hi Blair,

United Nations Driving Shapelle Mad

Shapelle is depressed BECAUSE OF THE UNITED NATIONS Conventions on Narcotics.
The NZ Law Commission is examining NZ obligations under these covenants and treaties this year (see terms of reference)
Human Rights AND Drug Policy  is a key issue at UN Vienna meetings in July. (NZ delegation of 9 has 2 attending from Christchurch)
Shapelle is serving twenty years for the amount of cannabis smoked in Australia every 60 seconds.

Reporting on this issue is long on history (how many times do we need to hear what she did)  and short on insight on just how disproportionate the sentence.

She was lucky to escape the death penalty.

Singapore hangs people for 500gms of what Oregon State (and twelve other states =33% of USA pop) would allow as medicine.
