"Among
Pakistanis there is consciousness of the asymmetry of a situation in which
Western-inspired treaties have outlawed opium, the use of which was and is
widely accepted in Pakistan, while the same Western countries are free to
produce alcoholic drinks which are smuggled into Pakistan in contravention of
Islamic law." "A far-reaching review could lead to adoption of a policy of harm
reduction rather than the present ineffective and damaging policy of prohibition with
enforcement by the military and civil agencies of the law." "When we catch some of the
Mr Bigs, we make life much easier for some of the other Mr Bigs." "Drug prices increase when "successful" police raids create
short-term scarcity. We suffer rises in crime (break-ins, robberies) in response to the
need for drug users to raise funds for expensive drugs." "There is a very real possibility that a complex of changing economic and geopolitical
policies that arose in the wake of the cold war will drive an explosive increase in Asian
opium production" "The
Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation exists to to encourage a more
rational, tolerant and humanitarian approach to the problems created by
drugs and drug use in Australia" "The

"the primary
objectives of the Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation include
the urgent adoption
of drug policies based on strategies of harm minimisation throughout
Australia" "Legal prohibition introduces other uncontrollable costs. It
introduces organised crime - it introduces institutionalised social
and political corruption." "The
Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation exists to to encourage a more
rational, tolerant and humanitarian approach to the problems created by
drugs and drug use in Australia" "In Canberra in 1993 a meeting of parliamentarians and other
members of the community was held, all of whom shared a concern that the
current drug policies in Australia did not seem to be working. It was felt
that there was at least a need to consider alternative approaches to illicit
drug use and to reduce the unacceptably high levels of social, economic
and health problems associated with the prohibition of certain drugs in
Australia."
