42. DRUG POLICY

MPA rejects the false choice between criminalizing everything and legalizing everything.

Drug policy should distinguish:

Addiction. Personal conduct. Predatory criminal activity.

Priority enforcement should target:

• Major trafficking

• Organized crime

• Distribution to minors

• Adulterated dangerous substances

• Impaired driving

• Violence

• Criminal enterprises

Appropriate addiction-driven cases should have greater access to treatment and diversion.
