THE PETITION

1. We declare and affirm our view that the UK prohibition of controlled substances, introduced in the 1920s and now embodied in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, has proved ineffective in the achievement of its objects, counter-productive in its side-effects, wasteful of public resources, destructive in its cultivation of criminality and commercial abuse, and inhumane in its operation. The Act no longer constitutes an appropriate form of social regulation, consistent with the UK's Human Rights commitments.

2. We affirm our view that the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and consequential legislation should be repealed and replaced by a system of licensed retail outlets, supplied by a chain of licensed producers, importers and distributors, incorporating all necessary quality-control provisions. Reform legislation should also prescribe new arrangements for educational, therapeutic and harm-reduction measures to address problematical drug use wherever it occurs. If such action were to require the renegotiation of UK treaty obligations, we would advocate such renegotiation. Suitable licensing arrangements should be made by local authorities, under new legislation, in respect of retail premises, in the light of local demand, local circumstances, and the characteristics of the substances to be sold. UK public authorities have, historically, extensive experience of these forms of public regulation, and we advocate their extension to all the substances currently controlled by the 1971 Act.

3. We affirm our view that the system should operate within the framework of a new National Drugs Agency. With the exception of plant material cultivated domestically* in the UK and supplied for personal or social consumption, a premises licence should be required for the retail sale of each primary class of substance, within the framework of guidelines issued by that Agency. continued at http://www.lca-uk.org/node/26
