(Bangkok Post file photo)The Global Commission on Drug Policy was in Thailand last week to show support for reform of the country's "war on drugs" laws. While there has been some progress in modernising drug laws, there is almost no good news in Thailand or the region. There seems no chance Mr Duterte will stop the bloodshed, let alone support reform and harm reduction. That has not affected, noticeably, the drug laws that both the Global Commission and Gen Paiboon see as a problem. Without at least a show of support from Asean, true reform of drug laws here is almost impossible.
