I’m not sure the UK is really doing much in the way of tinkering other than the limited scheme in London. UK drug policy Twitter was ablaze yesterday as the Labour leader of the opposition, scotched any suggestion of a change in drug laws and that he was against legalisation. There was much righteous fury. He has a background as Director of Public Prosecutions and it would be politically bonkers given the shoeing the PM is getting (Johnson might not last the week at this rate). Not the right time but it was certainly painful for decriminalisation advocates on the left to hear.
Thanks Jack. Great summary.
