Key International Report And also in the vein of reform is an absolutely key report released in September to coincide with the creation of a new and potentially (hopefully?) enormously influential Global Commission on Drug Policy. The very interesting and informative commission report is called Taking Control: Pathways to Drug Policies That Work. Influential Commission On the new commission are some of the most influential people in global political affairs from across the political spectrum with liberal voices like former United Nations chief Kofi Annan, who is chairing the group, to highly conservative figures like former Reagan Administration Secretary of State George Shultz. Also included on the commission is the legendary ex-Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker – who understands the absurd economics of drug prohibition similar to those of the disastrous alcohol prohibition of the 1920s – and former Mexican President Vicente Fox whose country has literally been turned into a Vietnam-like war zone where hugely wealthy cartels outgun -or buy-off – even the full might of the Mexican Army and federal police forces.
