在《药物分类：当科学被抛在身后》一书中，全球毒品政策委员会解释了历史上带有偏见的精神活性物质分类如何加剧了全球性「毒品问题」。这是首份从政治视角解读现行按危害程度对药物进行评估与分类（即「列管」）的综合性报告。
In Classification of Drugs: when science was left behind , the Global Commission on Drug Policy explains how the biased historical classification of psychoactive substances has contributed to the “world drug problem”. It is the first-ever comprehensive report providing a political reading of the current evaluation and classification, or “scheduling” of drugs according to their harms.
