本文在全球主义和全球毒品资本主义的背景下定位发展努力，审查了法律的和非法毒品对国际发展努力的重大健康和社会影响。本文件探讨了一个在发展辩论中普遍被忽视、在现行国际发展标准-千年发展目标-中也没有太多涉及的问题，但这个问题严重制约了不发达国家实现改善的能力。精神药物或“改变精神/情绪”的药物与可持续发展之间的关系，其根源在于法律的和非法药物贸易造成了一系列发展障碍，包括：⑴人际犯罪和社区暴力; ⑵公务员腐败和社会机构解体; ⑶出现新的或加剧的健康问题;（4）工人生产力下降;（5）青年人被毒品分销所吸引，无法接受生产性教育或就业;（6）经济向毒品生产和洗钱倾斜。该文件强调，需要采取新的办法，减少毒品对发展造成的负担。
Locating development efforts within the context of globalism and global drug capitalism, this article examines the significant health and social impact both legal and illegal drugs have on international development efforts. The paper takes on an issue that is generally overlooked in the development debate and is not much addressed in the current international development standard, the Millennium Development Goals, and yet is one that places serious constraints on the ability of underdeveloped nations to achieve improvement. The relationship between psychotropic or “mind/mood altering” drugs and sustainable development is rooted in the contribution that the legal and illegal drug trade makes to a set of barriers to development, including: (1) interpersonal crime and community violence; (2) the corruption of public servants and the disintegration of social institutions; (3) the emergence of new or enhanced health problems; (4) the lowering of worker productivity; (5) the ensnarement of youth in drug distribution and away from productive education or employment; (6) the skewing of economies to drug production and money laundering. The paper emphasizes the need for new approaches for diminishing the burden placed by drugs on development.
