Our mission is to expose the deeply ineffective and flawed War on Drugs that's failed to stop drug trafficking. This war has served to destroy millions of lives over the last forty years. We aim to highlight the specific reasons why the War on Drugs has failed whilst offering alternative solutions that will help to achieve the results everybody desires.

Ahalia is one of the Internet's few publications that's willing to stand up to the War on Drugs. We produce news stories informing the public about global drugs policy that's often not reported on in the mainstream media.

We hope to affect change in the way drugs are governed. We do so because we believe the current system is failing to protect the most vulnerable in society. We have partnered with organisations such as Rehab Recovery, the World Health Organization, Human Rights Watch and Alcohol Rehab.
