The @UNODC #WorldDrugReport2022 is out today.

As usual it contains a wealth of useful data.
The real story is often what it *doesn't* contain, & political interest in editorial & special sections
So I'm diving in - will post thoughts as I go

@UNODC Oh dear
It gets off to a spectacularly bad start with the preface.
In fact even the first four words.
This is old-school drug war rhetoric - perhaps the first time new @UNODC director @GhadaFathiWaly has had a chance to do some threat-based prohibitionist flexing.

The preface, & entire booklet makes prominent calls for prevention (27mentions) & treatment (67 mentions).
But, amazingly given UNODCs very specific harm reduction mandate, the words 'harm reduction' do not appear ONCE in the entire part1 71p. summary booklet.
