In 1998 the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on drugs was held in New York under a new slogan: A drug-free world, we can do it! Member states committed themselves to significantly reduce the demand and supply of illegal drugs in 10 years.
On March 11-12, 2009, representatives of national governments will meet in Vienna to evaluate the achievements of the past 10 years and determine international drug policy for the next decade.
The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union has collected the voices of drug users, scientists and activist from all around the globe. They are sending their messages to the participants at the meeting. We start with four messages and upload a new one each day until the 11th of March 2009.
