Experts of the Finnish government’s leading health agency, the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), call for the decriminalisation of all drugs. Professor Pekka Hakkarainen, the head of THL’s Alcohol, Drugs, and Addictions Unit, and Tuukka Tammi, a senior researcher, wrote recently an article calling for decriminalisation. They argue that ending criminal sanctions for drug use would reduce the marginalisation of young people, and encourage people who use drugs to engage with health and social services. Neighbouring Norway’s Parliament voted to do the same in December 2017.
