10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia 10 YEARS OF DRUG POLICY IN ASIA: HOW FAR HAVE WE COME? A CIVIL SOCIETY SHADOW REPORT 10 YEARS OF DRUG POLICY IN ASIA: HOW FAR HAVE WE COME? A CIVIL SOCIETY SHADOW REPORT 10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia: How Far Have We Come? 10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia: How Far Have We Come? Foreword The pursuit of a ‘drug-free world’ is the unfortunate man- tra of many Asian governments. Yet as we find ourselves at the end of a 10-year UN global drug strategy, it has be- come glaringly apparent that many countries now face a crossroads. A decision needs to be made on whether it is time to change course. Staying the course with existing drug policies would be tantamount to accepting that the region’s supply and demand for drugs will inevitably con- tinue to expand. Staying the course would signal that gov- ernments accept that the numbers of people killed on the basis of mere suspicion, and with outright impunity (over 20,000 in the last two years), detained in the name of drug rehabilitation (over 300,000 people throughout Asia), and held in exceedingly overcrowded prisons (where typically at least 50% of a country’s prison population are held for drug offences) will continue their inexorable rise. In March 2019 at the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, governments that have adopted the UN drug control conventions1 will report on their progress in implement- José Ramos-Horta ing the 2009 UN Political Declaration and Plan of Action.

This report supplements that assessment by taking the lessons of the past and show leadership in reforming a closer look at the region of Asia, where harsh and dra- damaging laws and policies at this critical juncture. conian policies have failed to reduce the scale of the drug market and in parallel have had devastating impacts on José Ramos-Horta people and communities. Former President of Timor-Leste It is time for governments in the region to acknowledge Member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy the limitations of, and harms caused, by zero-tolerance drug policies, and the futility of clinging onto visions of a drug-free region. Asia has a history of drug use stretching back over a thousand years, featuring the use of cannabis and opium for religious, cultural, medical and culinary purposes. It is due to political and economic factors in the past two centuries that we are today entrenched in a par- adigm of demonising drugs and anyone involved with them. In recent years some countries, notably Thailand, have taken steps to shift away from that paradigm and reform their drug policies in pursuit of measures that are oriented towards health, human rights and sustainable development. It is our hope at the Global Commission on Drug Policy that these initial steps will anchor and con- tinue to grow into further reforms throughout the region so that communities will no longer spiral into worsening violence and insecurity with little to no investment in health, harm reduction and development measures that have been proven effective. 10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia: How Far Have We Come? 10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia: How Far Have We Come? i ii 10 Years of Drug Policy in Asia: How Far Have We Come?

  • ADHD Parents Medication Guide Revised July 2013
    ADHD Parents Medication Guide Revised July 2013 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Prepared by: American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and American Psychiatric Association Supported by the Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund Physician: ___________________________________________________ Address: ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Phone: ___________________________________________________ Email: ___________________________________________________ ADHD Parents Medication Guide – July 2013 2 Introduction Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty paying attention, excessive activity, and impulsivity (acting before you think). ADHD is usually identified when children are in grade school but can be diagnosed at any time from preschool to adulthood. Recent studies indicate that almost 10 percent of children between the ages of 4 to 17 are reported by their parents as being diagnosed with ADHD. So in a classroom of 30 children, two to three children may have ADHD.1,2,3,4,5 Short attention spans and high levels of activity are a normal part of childhood. For children with ADHD, these behaviors are excessive, inappropriate for their age, and interfere with daily functioning at home, school, and with peers. Some children with ADHD only have problems with attention; other children only have issues with hyperactivity and impulsivity; most children with ADHD have problems with all three. As they grow into adolescence and young adulthood, children with ADHD may become less hyperactive yet continue to have significant problems with distraction, disorganization, and poor impulse control. ADHD can interfere with a child’s ability to perform in school, do homework, follow rules, and develop and maintain peer relationships. When children become adolescents, ADHD can increase their risk of dropping out of school or having disciplinary problems.

  • August 2014 Medical Marijuana and Your Workforce - Part III Drug Tests, Zero Tolerance Policies and Unemployment Compensation
    LAW OFFICE OF LORI A. GOLDSTEIN, LLC CLIENT BULLETIN August 2014 Medical Marijuana and Your Workforce - Part III Drug Tests, Zero Tolerance Policies and Unemployment Compensation This is the final in a three-part series covering the new Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and what it means for employers. Drug Testing Until the Illinois courts provide more guidance, employers should proceed with caution when a registered patient tests positive for marijuana on a pre-employment or employee drug screening. Since cannabis can remain in the body for several weeks, a positive drug test does not necessarily mean that an applicant or employee is impaired at the time of the test. Employers must be careful not to reject a registered patient’s application based solely based on a positive drug test, unless hiring the applicant presents a public safety risk (e.g., security guard or driver positions). Evaluate drug test results for registered patient employees on a case-by-case basis, permitting the employee to explain or contest the basis of a positive test result. Zero Tolerance Policies and Privacy Laws Can employers in states legalizing marijuana include marijuana in zero tolerance drug policies? How are privacy rights affected? Many states, including Illinois, forbid employers from terminating employees for lawful activities conducted during nonworking hours (Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act.) But if the Illinois courts follow the courts of other states, employers will have more freedom to discipline a registered patient who tests positive for marijuana. The Colorado Supreme Court will soon be considering this issue.

CAMBODIA 1.1 General situation 1.1.1 Drug use There are no consistent statistics as to the exact number of people who use drugs in Cambodia. However the general consensus among the Royal Government of Cambodia and international agencies is that there are currently between 12,000 and 28,000 people who use drugs. Methamphetamine pills are the most widely used drug in Cambodia, although crystalline methamphetamine is becoming more widely available, with use on the rise, particularly in Phnom Penh and among unemployed youth. Whereas illicit drug use was previously concentrated primarily in urban settings, in recent years it has been expanding into rural areas, in particular in the provinces adjacent to Lao PDR and Thailand (INCSR Cambodia 2012). Drug use among women and within prisons appears to be on the rise (UNODC 2013). 8990/14 JV/fm 1 DG D 2C EN Table 1.

  • Should Per Se Limits Be Imposed for Cannabis? Equating Cannabinoid Blood Concentrations with Actual Driver Impairment: Practical Limitations and Concerns
    HUMBOLDT JOURNAL OF SOCIAL RELATIONS—ISSUE 35, 2013 Should Per Se Limits Be Imposed For Cannabis? Equating Cannabinoid Blood Concentrations with Actual Driver Impairment: Practical Limitations and Concerns Paul Armentano National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Fourteen US states have amended their longstanding, effect-based DUI drug laws to per se or zero tolerant per se statutes in regard to cannabis. Other states are considering enacting similar legislation. Under these amended traffic safety laws, it is a criminal violation for one to operate a motor vehicle with trace levels of cannabinoids or their metabolites in his or her blood or urine. Opponents of per se cannabinoid limits argue that neither the presence of cannabinoids nor their metabolites are appropriate or consistent predictors of behavioral or psychomotor impairment. They further argue that the imposition of such per se limits may result in the criminal conviction of individuals who may have previously consumed cannabis at some unspecified point in time, but were no longer under its influence. As more states enact statutory changes allowing for the legal use of cannabis under certain circumstances, there is a growing need to re-examine the appropriateness of these proposed per se standards for cannabinoids and their metabolites because the imposition of such limits may, in some instances, inadvertently criminalize behavior that poses no threat to traffic safety,

  • Adhd Labeling and Treatment of Children in Japan 1
    CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 1 2018 ADHD labeling and treatment of children in Japan CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS JAPAN CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS EUROPE January 2018 CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 2 CCHR REPORT: ADHD LABELING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN JAPAN 3 Introduction Children in Japan are being labeled with the psychiatric diagnosis attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and given psychiatric drugs in order to control the symptoms labeled as ADHD, just as in many European and American countries. The rate of the drugs used are different than those in Europe and the USA which is caused mainly by earlier abuses of psychostimulant drugs causing some of these to be banned and secondly a zero tolerance to drugs use in general (the psychostimulants used in the control of ADHD labeled children are actual drugs with a high abuse potential). Large international pharmaceuticals are increasingly focusing on releasing new types of drugs on the Japanese market that can be prescribed to children labelled with ADHD such as lisdexamfetamine and guanfacine (sold under the name Intuniv). The Japanese market is being described as “the world’s third-biggest market for ADHD treatments” and is growing at more than 20 percent annually.1 Japanese children in early studies were found to be among those less considered fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Yet, marketing efforts and American psychiatrists have promoted the American concept of various behavioural symptoms clustered together and called ADHD, to a degree, that a large number of parents have taken on the concept.
