The war on drugs has been going badly. People are dying at a phenomenal rate in mexico, freedoms are being rolled back in the Netherlands, and the delightful Gordon Brown recently ended the effective decriminalization of cannabis seed in Britain. But in the last couple of days there has an outbreak of common sense. The Argentine Supreme Court has applied this clause of the Argentine constitution, in quashing five convictions for cannabis possession: There's plenty of articles at google news.

Lavalon has long had an interest in drug law reform. One of the first acts of the Principality of Lavalon back in 2002 was to legalize marijuana.
As a non-territorial entity it was a purely symbolic gesture.
Over at the Lavalonian forums we have a forum dedicated to the discussion of "Freedom Gardening and Narcotics" if anyone is interested.

Portugal's 2001 drug decrminalization is a more radical - and arguably successful approach to the drug 'problem'.

The Free Federal States of Libertaria supports decriminalization and regulation of all drugs, but we're not going to allow (ab)use or possession of substances that are illegal in Norway or Sweden within our country.

Isn't that a policy contradiction?

Not necessarily. Regulation of the drug market is important, and we're not capable to regulate the drug market.
