Look, we can make a deal: if you leave drug users alone, you don't criminalize and stigmatize them, we will leave Costa alone.

Peter is wrong. Stop being such a pain at these meetings. Go use drugs if you want, but leave us alone.

Clean Needles Save Lives
A good exposition. We have introduced NSEP in Malaysia since two years ago and we are upscalling the points for distribution. NSEP may not stop abuse of drugs. However, it will improve health and save cost on health.

The data you have presented in your article is really great.The unthoughtful comment of the government official was stupid.The question thrown by Dr.Polak was of great relevance.

The following is a transcript of WJOL Radio's interview with some of Will County Boxing Gym team members- Billy Boy Thompson, Owner/ Pro Boxer/ Trainer Joseph Awinongya, Donald Myart, and Derek Drey a rising boxing star conducted by Scott Slocum 9AM Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010. To listen to full interview visit <a href=>www.willcountyboxing.com</a>
Scott: That will warm you up on this cold morning. Imagine yourself in a hot gym working up a sweat. That is what we all need as the temperature is going to fall to zero before that snow hits about 9PM tonight. Billy 'Boy' Thompson is in the studio with us and he's brought some guests. The 1964 graduate of the Joliet Township high school with an all time record of 110 and 15 with the 95 knockouts. How are you doing sir? Lets make sure the mics are on. Alright, who do you have with us this morning?
Billy: I have Joseph Awinongya from Ghana, Africa. He's president of our Will County Boxing Gym and Derek Drey. Derek Drey from Joliet, our boxing team and Donald Myart, he's a professional boxer, ex professional boxer-an amateur- boxer and also a broadcaster. We all are on the same page this morning.
Scott: So, ah you know, as long as it has been since you have been active in the ring, you are still so involved in the sport, and it shows by the people you brought in here today.
Billy: Well this guy, Joseph, got me involved. I was sitting back in my garage. I retired from the railroad for three years, worked for 31 years, but Joseph got me, got me to come by and and let's get together. So, I went to help him.
Scott: Well -That Joseph, is that the gentleman here?
Billy: That's correct he's from Ghana, Africa.
Joseph: I am from Ghana, I am from Ghana,- but I grew up in Italy. I am (Clears throat) an ex professional boxer. Don King brought me into this country. I came to Joliet, I was in Chicago, I was going to fight a guy in New York. So, I came to Chicago to train with the Polish fighter, because I was fighting the same guy from Poland. So, I came to Chicago and started training in the Windy City Gym and then the fight just turned off..They told me they did not want me any more. I came to Bolingbrook. I see some of the African stores over there, so I said I will stay right here.
Scott: So you got the youngsters going on now, and you are showing them what you know, huh.
Joseph: (Smiling) Yeah, I am showing them something. I came to Joliet. I found out that Joliet used to be a boxing town. I was in boxing for a long time and I said what am I going to do to bring some people together to see if we can open a boxing gym. It took me 5 years to start, you know, getting every body together, to see exactly what we want to do, and how to bring this about. Exactly, like Derek Drey, kids who have energy and want to burn it somewhere. So, we opened the boxing gym and so far the boxing gym is doing real good. We have some professionals, three professionals, we signed up a lot of kids. The boxing gym is going wonderful and I was very, very surprised.
Scott: Now let's back up a moment, you told me Don King brought you to this country?
Joseph: Yeah, Don King brought me to this country.
Scott: How many people want to be discovered by Don King!
Joseph: Yeah.
Scott: How did you do that?
Joseph: ...I went back home to Africa ...I was going back to Germany. I was sparring with one ex heavy weight champion and he had his people over there. They saw me, and they said they would like to sign me up, and that was my dream, since I was fighting. That was my dream to come to Don King. So, they saw me and then they brought me, I signed with them. I did really good with them. I don't take nothing away from Don King. He put me in a place that I know that I can do more things than I can do. What ever I want to do.

Re Costa, posted by another commenter:
"And first of all, he has to show respect for those people who work in the field to reduce the harms created by drug abuse and abusive drug policies, from very limited resources, for low salaries and restrained by the barriers of stigma and discrimination. Even if they believe in legalization, or even if they are drug users themselves, because drug users are also people with inalienable human rights and dignity, a value constituting the very core of the UN system. Period."
This encapsulates all that was wrong with the UN Special Sessions. It was engineered to fail. It was a platform for Ning-Nongs. Costa pandered to his constituency, abused due process and did a disservice to UN principals. His pronouncements, and the entire sham of consultation (including Beyond2008) remain a pretence to good governance.
One cannot with any legitimacy protest the 'death penalty' and preside over a prohibition that carries a burden of tens of thousands of 'deaths by collateral damage, disease, and friendly fire'.
There has been no accounting the mayem done in our name.
If Whaling or Nuclear Testing was handled as dishonestly there would be an uproar!

"We are the Keepers of the Light"
I was there too...
There is NOTHING Christian about the drug policy we do now. That intolerance is not just permitted it is encouraged and that in and of itself is both criminal and anti-humanitarian.

I live in London, and bribery amongst a very small number of local officials exists (masteroftv.com) but thankfully, does not hinder or rebalance parliamentary policies!

Mr. Costa's Mailbox
The current drug trade is essentially powered by government interference. No amount of punishment and imprisonment of users will fix the problem.
