Excellent- More about Drug Science and British Drug Policy: Critical Analysis of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 has dominated ill-conceived approaches to drug prohibition and criminalization, ignoring scientific evidence and causing unnecessary suffering. This comprehensive critique by experts calls for a re-think of half a century of bad law.

For over fifty years, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 has dominated misguided approaches to drug prohibition and the criminalization of numerous offenders. A deliberate disregard for scientific facts has distorted the administration of justice, hindered life-saving investigations, marginalized critics, and impeded advocates of politically inconvenient drug law reform. This groundbreaking review, conducted by experts from diverse disciplines, reveals how lawmakers and the media have disregarded scientific evidence to perpetuate unfounded rhetoric in favor of blanket bans, punishment, and the marginalization of opponents. Consequently, countless individuals, including the vulnerable, impoverished, addicted, and mentally ill, have endured needless suffering. This, the most comprehensive critique of the 1971 Act to date, is grounded in the collective expertise of leading medical, scientific, psychiatric, academic, legal, drug safety, and other specialists, offering compelling reasons to reassess half a century of flawed legislation.
