Once again, one of the legalizers behind the Global [ “legalize it”] Commission on Drug Policy*, Alex Wodak, tries to explain how new methods would help cure the present Australian drug problem. As a starter he proposes that “the first stages of reform might involve enabling the medicinal use of cannabis and removing criminal and, later, civil penalties for personal cannabis use. Australia should then emulate countries like Portugal that have benefited from removing criminal and civil penalties for personal use and possession of all drugs.” (Med J Aust 2012; 197 (6): 1-2.)This is Wodak´s starter. Just wait for his main course.
