This was a questionable simplification, because by doing so the country with the largest number of addicts (Luxemburg) was added to the country with the smallest number (The Netherlands).

These numbers were not properly linked to total population estimates, instead averages were calculated.

Which is how the Benelux ended on top of the list of drug addicted countries.

The message for the public was clear: Dutch drug policy is not working.’

The UN are outspoken supporters of the war on drugs, the war against growers, dealers and users that should lead to a drug free world.

’Experts have been clamouring for years that this battle can never be won’, says Prof. Boekhout van Solinge. ‘Things are just getting worse.’

In the mean time the United Nations see Sweden as the shining example.

Since 1977 harsh measures are used in a relentless drug hunt.

And this has been a great success – at least, that’s what UN reports say: Sweden has the smallest number of blowers and growers in Europe. But even the Swedish facts are polished. "Manipulated" to fit the UN message.

The reports ‘forget’ to mention that The Netherlands have fewer addicts. Nor is there any reference to the 8% of Swedish students that sniff glue. The fact that Sweden tops the European list in drug mortalities, is also conveniently omitted.

When talking drugs, the UN is not a reliable club. These reports have little to do with science, and everything to do with business. Big business.

There are more international organisations that fumble with opinions and research to justify the war on drugs.

Says the criminologist: ‘On a conference staged by the World Health Organisation on cocaine, all experts agreed that an overwhelming majority of cocaine users are in perfect control of their use, which led them to conclude that cocaine wasn’t that much of a problem.

This conclusion was never made public under pressure from the ONDCP and the American government.’

Another example?

‘A World Health Organisation report on cannabis paints a dramatic picture of the drug.

But when you examine the documents and research used as a basis for the report, you learn that specific research was conducted to estimate what would happen if cannabis were to be used as much as alcohol and tobacco are used?

The remarkable conclusion of this research? Cannabis would still be the least harmful.

But this information was also, kept from theb publicly released summary!

The time has come for truth, and fact, to start forming the basis of our nations drug policies, instead of the lies we are subjected to daily, and which ensure the high mortality rates as a result of using badly adulterated drugs using dirty, unhealthy paraphernalia.
