Highlights

  • The Norwegian government proposed a drug decriminalization reform.
  • The shift from the justice sector to the health sector would only be partial.
  • The police would retain their role in drug law enforcement after the reform.
  • Illicit drug use continued to be fundamentally pathologized in the proposed reform.
  • The most profound aspect of the reform was its emphasis on consent in interventions.
