The prime objective of the Senlis Council, and its benefactor George Soros, is to legalize opium production. It is obvious that the legalization of this vast 8,000 tons of opium, annually, would not only prevent any possibility of Afghanistan becoming an agro-industrial nation in the future but would turn it into a full-fledged narco-state, as the "leaked" opium would be of large enough quantity to generate vast sums of money which could then be used to corrupt individuals in power….
In 2002 a group of former European politicians, ambassadors, academics, civil society leaders and judges, including a former Portuguese President, a former German president of the Bundestag, and a former British ambassador to Colombia, met in Arrabida, Portugal as the Network of European Foundations' Comité des Sages (Committee of Wisemen). The group issued a statement on Sept. 20, 2002, that called for a radical change in international drug policies to bring them into line with the Senlis Council. https://www.larouchepub.com/other/2008/3533opium_pleases_soros.html

George Shultz also serves with George Soros on the board of another pro-legalization organization Soros helped found: the elite, multinational Global Commission on Drug Policy (GCDP):
June 2011 On June 2 the Global Commission on Drug Policy, a grantee of the Open Society Foundations (headed by Soros), released a groundbreaking report condemning the drug war as a failure and recommending major reforms to the global drug prohibition regime.
The Commission is the most distinguished group of high-level leaders to ever call for such far-reaching changes, including alternatives to incarceration and greater emphasis on public health approaches to drug use but also decriminalization and experiments in legal regulation.
The executive director of the global advocacy organization AVAAZ, with its nine million members worldwide, presented a public petition in support of the Global Commission’s recommendations that has been signed by over 600,000 people and given to the United Nations Secretary General. https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/reports/war-drugs-report-global-commission-drug-policy

10-2-17 The Global Commission has called for drug decriminalization and regulation since its creation in 2011. Faced with the mounting death toll in North America's opioid crisis it is now recommending a "sanctuary city" initiative under which cities that wish to do so can de facto decriminalize petty drug use and possession.
The Global Commission is chaired by former Switzerland president Ruth Dreifuss. Its members include Richard Branson, former United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan, former U.S. secretary of state George Schultz, former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Paul Volcker and 10 former heads of state.
"Repression is harmful," Dr. Kazatchkine said. "Wherever repressive policies are in place, people will not be in the best condition to access services. There is no way decriminalization will happen at the federal level soon in the U.S., but states or cities can sometimes make decisions for which they do not need federal approval, or for which they will enter into a battle with the federal process, but they still can continue to do things."
He cited as examples the legalization of marijuana in some U.S. states and Seattle's Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program, which sees police officers redirecting those involved in lower-level drug or sex-work offences to community-based services rather than jail.
In Canada, health officials including British Columbia's provincial health officer and the head of the BC Centre for Disease Control have called for decriminalization. Jagmeet Singh, elected head of the federal NDP on Sunday, has also pledged to decriminalize petty drug use. The reigning Liberal government, which has pledged to legalize recreational marijuana by Canada Day, 2018, says there are no plans to decriminalize or legalize any other drugs. https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/commission-makes-recommendations-for-tackling-opioid-crisis-in-north-america/article36455285/?cmpid=rss1&ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com

8-29-1997 the Queen’s personal speculator, George
Soros, who manages an undisclosed, but sizable portion of
the royal fondi, (family funds) is leading a multimillion-dollar drive to legalize drug production and consumption throughout the Americas. In the United States, Soros has in recent years funneled
at least $15 million into the Drug Policy Foundation, a group
devoted to the legalization of drugs; he has created his own
drug legalization lobby, the Lindesmith Center, in the headquarters of his Open Society Institute in New York City, at an
upfront cost of $5 million; and, he has poured an undisclosed
amount of his personal fortune into a number of state ballot
initiatives, in an attempt to legalize “medical” use of narcotics, from marijuana, to LSD, heroin, and cocaine.
In Ibero-America, Soros is a pivotal figure in the British Club of the Isles’ banking and raw materials grab (see EIR, Aug. 22, 1997, “Britain’s ‘Invisible’ Empire Unleashes the Dogs of War”), and he is also a leading financier of the drive to legalize the production of cocaine, bankrolling a myriad of so-called “human rights” groups and associations of coca growers, who are peddling this criminal enterprise....

Soros denied that he advocates drug
legalization. “I think marijuana should be kept away particularly from schoolchildren, from anybody who is learning
something. . . . If that requires that marijuana generally be
outlawed, I’m not opposed to that,” he said.
Nice words. But Soros persistently puts his money into the pockets of people who aggressively advocate the legalization of all drugs, albeit often behind closed doors. Take the case of the Tenth International Conference on Drug Policy Reform, sponsored by the DPF in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 6-9, 1996. At the plenary sessions, which were video-taped, speakers carefully side-stepped the question of drug legalization. However at a session titled “A Hard Look at Hard Drugs: The Legalizers’ Achilles Heel,” DPF activist Eric Sterling, director of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation in Washington, pronounced himself a 20-year veteran of the “drug legalization movement.” He chastized those in the audience who refused to go all out for the legalization of all drugs--including crack cocaine.
Right? No, dead wrong! The July 26, 1996 EIR cover
story, “Britain’s Dope, Inc. Grows to a $521 Billion Business,” provided an in-depth, statistical profile of the growth
of the illegal narcotics trade over the past 20 years. One of the
most important discoveries was the fact that the drug cartels
have systematically driven down the retail prices of cocaine
and heroin, in order to vastly expand the size of the market,
i.e., to expand the number of addicts hooked on these killer
drugs. The case of crack cocaine, which opened up the impoverished inner-city neighborhoods of America to cheap cocaine, in a smokeable form, is but the most glaring example of Dope, Inc.’s adoption of the “Sam Walton” model of mass
marketing through reduced prices. https://www.larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1997/eirv24n35-19970829/eirv24n35-19970829_022-george_soros_the_queens_drug_pus.pdf

Sterling’s remarks are emblematic of the outlook of the
entire Soros-bankrolled “reform” movement. Through subterfuge and disinformation, Soros and his London backers
publicly protest that they are merely fostering debate on the
pros and cons of various drug policy “reforms.” But ultimately all of their arguments boil down to a single phony
refrain, devised by the highest echelons of Dope, Inc.: “Drug
‘prohibition,’ like alcohol prohibition before it, is a failure,
which has led to an increase in drug-related violent crime. Legalize drugs, and the prices will fall, removing the ‘profit
incentive,’ and reducing the violence.”
