Alternattiva Demokratika said today that all drugs should be decriminalised in as far as users are concerned, while cannabis should be legalised.
Party spokesman Ralph Cassar told a press conference that rather than persecuting drug users, the country should help them.
"We want a policy with a humane face," he said.
He insisted that drug users needed medical and social help through a structure which included community workers and other social workers.
He observed that the UN Global Commission on Drug Policy had proposed the decriminalisation of all drugs for personal use. Such a model had been successfully adopted in Portugal.
