LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) sup­ports and con­trib­utes to this discussion. LEAP has rep­res­ent­at­ives across the world with a wide range of pro­fes­sional expert­ise: police officers, drug czars, judges, prison gov­ernors, law­yers, drug enforce­ment officers, and even the occa­sional former spook.... Our var­ied exper­i­ences on the front line of the "war on drugs" have brought us to one con­clu­sion: we all assess it to have been an abject fail­ure that causes more global soci­etal harm than good, as well as fund­ing organ­ised crime, ter­ror­ism and white col­lar bank crime. We urgently need to rethink the failed UN drug conventions.
