Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime
Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime,Mr. Antonio-Maria Costa, refuses to answer mr Polak’s (Encod) question. It is shocking to see that a UN official is not able to produce an intelligent answer to a simple question like this. It is even more stressing to see that the Encod spokesman gets silenced for asking the question: How do you explain the contradiction between the theory of drug prohibition and the Dutch experience? In the Netherlands (where the personal use of cannabis is decriminalised) the level of drug use is lower than in countries where the use of cannabis is prohibited.
