Iran may soon legalize weed.

Iran has a conspicuous drug addiction problem – which officially accounts for more than 2m addicts (though unofficial figures put this as high as 5-6m). Drug traffickers risk harsh punishments that include the death penalty. Yet Iran also has very progressive policies towards drug addiction, which include distribution of clean needles to injecting drug users, methadone substitution programmes (also in prisons) and a vast system of addiction treatment…

During a recent conference on addiction held in Tehran, Saeed Sefatian, a prominent Iranian official and head of the working group on drug demand reduction in the Council for the Discernment of the Expediency of the State (also known as the Expediency Council), illustrated what could become a potential alternative to Iran’s current drug policy – including a move which that could include measures towards legalisation of cannabis and opium.

    Iran has evolved more on drug issues than we have, I wish I was shocked.

    I’m sorry..
    But I dont see the link between “drug addiction” and Marijuana.

      I see it only inasmuch as they both are part of a new type of drug policy being contemplated.

    If more people in the middle east smoked more they might calm the hell down!
