Nad on avaldanud raporti (pdf fail), mis kajastab keelupoliitika põhjustatud probleeme ja selgitab miks legaliseerimine vähendaks ühiskondlikke probleeme ja üldist kanepi kasutust. Nende lehekülg.

Cannabis Use:
Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug, making it the mainstay of the 'War on Drugs'. The UN has estimated that cannabis is used by 4% of the global adult population. The number of users has risen by 10% since their last estimate in 2005, despite the call for a drug free world. This compares to a figure of 1% for the use of all other illegal drugs combined. However, the focus of international attention has concentrated on that 1% which causes the most harms leading to cannabis being largely ignored in international drug policy discussions.
