We know more and more about Norwegian addiction. - But knowledge alone does not solve problems, says Jørgen G. Bramness, new research director at the Center for addict sake of research.
- Firstly, not a single political decision resolving the problems of drug addiction in Norway. Secondly, the politicians decisions against better judgment - that is their right.
- For example, research has shown that increased access to alcohol provides greater substance abuse problems. Nevertheless, we can buy alcohol in more and more eateries, grocery stores and Wine Monopoly, says Jørgen launch crecorder G. Bramness.
Such measures may arouse political attention, launch crecorder but according Bramness it is not lack of awareness of the problem that makes politicians making decisions that could solve the problem:
- Drug addiction is a very complex social problem. It is not possible to pinpoint one cause. We will always need new knowledge and research is essential.
Often there are political considerations, and not facts from research that underlies many of the policy decisions taken. This applies not only in Norway. In 2004, cannabis was reclassified from group B to group C in the UK.
You'd think it had been made in advance of the reclassification, which indicated that the drug should belong to a different category, but no research has indicated that cannabis had been more or less harmful in the period.
- Better knowledge provides the basis for better decision making. Politicians are not going to ban alcohol launch crecorder because we tell them that it causes major damage, but they can use our research findings to make more informed decisions in relation to bestow rules, says Jørgen Bramness.
