Guatemala inaugurates a commission on drug policy reform

President Otto Pérez Molina's government, which had announced a National Commission for Drug Policy Reform in October 2013, inaugurated it in January 2014. In April the president said the government was studying the legalisation of cannabis and of poppy growing. In 2013 the country's prisons held 16,336 people, at more than two and a half times their capacity, half of them awaiting trial.[1]
