Iran to decriminalize drugs such as heroin

Iranian lawmakers have passed the motion to decriminalize drug use so they can help their addicts heal, instead of punishing them.

While the Judicial and Legal Commission is still working on the exact legislation, the proposal will allow the government to hand out diluted substances to drug users, thus cutting off the relationship between addicts and traffickers.

By legalizing the distribution of methadone – a prescription opiate used to treat heroin addiction – drug users can be better equipped to wean themselves off of their habits. Some international governments may still be wary of decriminalization – but countries like Portugal can put their worries to rest.

14 years after decriminalizing heroine, the nation’s drug use fell by about a third, heroine addiction rates were cut in half, and drug-related deaths decreased by 75% which is more than half.

“Given the special emphasis that the Establishment’s macro-policies put on the necessity of cutting off the relationship between drug addicts and narco-traffickers, we decided that the government hand out diluted drugs to addicts, so that they will be able to give up their addiction gradually and, instead of being drawn to drug-traffickers, turn to the Establishment and meet their needs through official channels,” said Hassan Norouzi, the spokesperson for the Parliament’s Judicial and Legal Commission, according to IFP News.

Because we have powerful lobby groups from both the police force and pharmaceutical companies who are corrupting our democratic system.

How bad does the drug problem need to get for heroin and meth and how many innocent stoners do we need to lock up before the a******s in the drivers seat realise that policies like this need to be adopted? Christ, it does me an anger
