RFHL - Riksförbundet för hjälp åt narkotika- och läkemedelsberoende
RFHL är ett förbund av föreningar och medborgare som tillsammans verkar för ett samhälle utan missbruk och beroende. Vi menar att staten inte tar sitt ansvar i beroendefrågorna. Man faller undan för de enkla lösningarna, sätter narkomaner i fängelse och struntar i de läkemedelsberoende.
Samhället tar inte sitt ansvar för att bekämpa fattigdom och utanförskap. Istället väljer man att satsa stora pengar på att kontrollera bort dessa problem. Resultatet är fängelser fulla av fångar men tömda på meningsfullt innehåll.

ENCOD - The European Coalition for Just and Effective Drug Policies

brings together European citizens who believe that drug prohibition is an immoral and insane* policy. We call for legal regulation as the only sensible and effective way to diminish drug-related problems, reduce organised crime and free up tax money for health, education and social programmes.

ENCOD wants to put drug regulation on the political agenda. If you agree with that, then please support us or one of our members.

* Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (Albert Einstein)

ECDP - Europan Cities on Drug Policy
We believe that the policy of prohibition marginalises consumers, forcing them to secrecy and creating risky conditions for consumption. Even worse, it creates a situation where the large profits made in illegal drug trafficking justify risks and unresponsible behaviour of the supplier toward the consumer. But what is probably most important: prohibition drives drug users away from help instead of opening a door back into society. It has therefore become evident that repression against addicts themselves cannot contribute anything to improve the situation. That's why repression in our member cities is specifically keyed to combating drug trafficking.
Global Commission on Drug Policy
The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world. Fifty years after the initiation of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and
40 years after President Nixon launched the US government’s war on drugs, fundamental reforms in national and global drug control policies are urgently needed. Global Commission on Drug Policy Report (English)
