Waarom we de oorlog tegen drugs moeten staken

Decades of the War on Drugs have led to soaring incarceration rates, global violence, and a $300 billion black market, while drug use continues to rise. Criminalization has targeted marginalized groups and failed to improve public health or safety. Examples from Portugal, Switzerland, and other countries show that health-based, regulated approaches reduce harm and crime. Real progress depends on moving beyond fear and myths to embrace policies grounded in science and compassion.
