Cannabis Reform Group Nominates Holland For Nobel Prize

Regardless of where the UK government stands on the war on drugs there can be no doubt the Netherlands government have picked up this particularly thorny branch, tackling the issue head on with a strategy based firmly around the reduction in harm to its citizens.
And its with this in mind that a US pro-cannabis reform group (NORML ) is co-ordinating an effort to see the Netherlands nominated for the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize, inspired by the recent success of former U.S. Vice President Al Gore in awakening the world to the dangers of global warming,
by receiving the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his advocacy work.

Despite having few peers or supporters at the international level, and despite tremendous pressure from the United States as well as the United Nations, the Dutch government and its people have proven for more than 30 years that it is more cost effective, humane, and practical to be "smart on drugs" rather than "tough on drugs."

Taken together, these groundbreaking medical, human rights and humanitarian accomplishments are of unprecedented magnitude.

They not only serve as an inspiration to the rest of the world, they also demand emulation.

As a result of these accomplishments it is recommended that Louk Hulsman, Professor Emeritus of Criminal Law at the University of Rotterdam, who was originally responsible for crafting the forward-thinking drug policy in the Netherlands and the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports, who administer their very successful current drug policies, be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

While NORML is a cannabis-only reform organization, by nominating, and educating the world about the success of the Netherlands’s drug policy, we are committed to using this public campaign as the first high impact project for worldwide drug policy reform in this New Year.

It is time to stimulate this crucially important worldwide conversation, and this is a project all drug policy reform and civic-minded groups, regardless of their mission statements, can support.

The webpage and other promotional campaigns in support of this nomination have been launched, but gathering qualified nominators needs to be the first step as there is a short deadline.

Please ask nominators to send their letters directly to the Nobel Institute, and also notify NORML at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it as we are coordinating and tracking this campaign.
