Transform blog on WHO report

Written by Nigel Brunsdon on 14 June 2009.

CocaineTransform Drug Policy Foundation have the leaked World Health Organization (WHO) report on cocaine that Ben Goldacre mentioned (see previous article).

Their blog post is entitled 'The WHO cocaine report that the US didn't want you to see' which of course gives you some idea as to its findings. As always the Transform blog makes for interesting reading.

About Transform

If you've never heard of Transform they are the think tank set up by Danny Kushlick to raise awareness of the harms caused by drug prohibition and to promote regulation and control  of drugs instead of focusing on punitive responses. As ex US president Jimmy Carter said:

Penalties against drug use should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself.
Message to Congress, August 2nd, 1977

You can find the great cocaine article on Transforms blog.
Visit the main Transform website for more information on their work
