“Branson said he and his colleagues on the drugs policy commission could not be more delighted at the move, given that he had argued for years that drug use should be treated as a health issue rather than a crime.  Within hours of his claim, however, UNODC made it clear that no such change in policy was imminent and said it regretted an ‘unfortunate misunderstanding’. Branson appears to have anticipated that the UN body would not back a global decriminalisation call. ‘As I’m writing this I am hearing that at least one government is putting an inordinate amount of pressure on the UNODC.'”
