The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has denied any policy changes after Sir Richard Branson leaked an official document, which appeared to back decriminalization and possession of drugs globally. The UNODC is the agency of the UN that oversees international drugs conventions and offers guidance on compliance. According to a spokeswoman for the Virgin founder, Branson, who sits on the Global Commission on Drug Policy, chose to release the information because he feared the UN would have a last-minute change-of-heart. “Richard has released the announcement ahead of the UNODC due to concern that the UNODC would do a volte-face at the last possible moment,” the spokeswoman said. .@unodc drug policy shift could end needless criminalisation of millions of drug users http://t.co/zoXmZKESRA pic.twitter.com/cfp6udxORA […] Read More
