The billionaire tycoon Richard Branson has blown the lid on a draft briefing by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime supporting the decriminalisation of all illicit drugs. The two-page briefing was to be circulated at a international conference on drug policy in Kuala Lumpur this week but that was blocked after a member state reportedly objected to its content. Branson published a blog post outlining the briefing's content and news media then released it publicly.
