Count the Costs has published a detailed 128 page report called ‘The Alternative World Drug Report: Counting The Costs Of The War On Drugs‘ that’s worth a read, or at least a power skim. The report is described: “Launched to coincide with publication of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime’s 2012 World Drug Report, the Alternative World Drug Report exposes the failure of governments and the UN to assess the extraordinary costs of pursuing a global war on drugs, and calls for UN member states to meaningfully count these costs and explore all the alternatives.”
