Pictures from Yesterday's Seminar on Drug Policy

I promised a report on the Swedish Users Union's seminar on drug policy for today, but my schedule is full, so the writing has to wait. But I have a few pictures from the seminar to share with you.

Seminar1

The Users Union's poster reads, "Decriminalize now!"

Seminar2

Drug-policy expert Björn Johnson with the Users Union's vice-president Kikki Paulsrud.

Seminar3

Debate leader Widar Andersson with Users Union President Berne Stålenkrantz.

Seminar4

Jouko Lindgren of Narkomanvårdförbundet, Camilla Wallin of Lund University's Clinical Alcohol Research programme, liberal debater and blogger Louise Persson, and Dr Dolf Tops of Lund University.

I must say I am impressed by the event. It was much better than I had expected. For the first time in the fifteen years I have argued in favour of harm reduction and decriminalization, I have a strong feeling something good is about to happen in this country's attitude towards drug users.

Many thanks to Berne Stålenkrantz for inviting me!
