US bucks world consensus on harm reduction
Drug Policy Alliance reports on the 16th International Conference on the Reduction of Drug Related Harm noting "the U.S. is far behind the rest of the world in its harm reduction approach to drug use and abuse." Even in Iran where per capita heroin addiction is the highest in the world, the theocrats recognized the benefits of harm reduction and "issued a fatwah [legal ruling] authorizing needle exchange and methadone maintenance programs." Only the prohibition profiteers in the US still refuse to recognize this sensible approach to drug addiction.

Think about that the next time you hear John Walters tell you how he wants to "win" the war on some drugs.
