"Mr President, a few views in the Buitenweg report and, even more so, in the Cappato proposal could easily be supported by drug dealers, by the pharmaceutical industry producing substitutes and by those who prefer the young to be under the influence of the drug culture than to fight for their rights and demonstrate against the imperialist invasion of Iraq.
Not one reference to the social causes of drug addiction, to prevention or to rehabilitation. The UN studies into the negative consequences of legalisation and prescribing substitutes are dismissed and the report even doubts their harmfulness by proposing classification, but with a call for new studies into their consequences. Mr Cappato even goes so far as to maintain that it is not drugs but the illicit nature of their use which is to blame for the marginalisation of drug addicts. Even more outrageous is the allegation that prohibition is to blame for the increase in the use of drugs. Thus he exonerates the dealers and capitalist society and condemns young people.
The European Parliament has a chance to protect young people from drug dealers and their friends by voting against the report or radically reformulating it."@en1
