In the debate around drug reform in Norway there are two main vocal factions, those advocating for regulation of recreational drugs and those advocating against. The factions are characterised by echo-chamber mechanics and hostility. In addition, power in the debate is unbalanced, as one side is often supported by police and politicians, and the other side are currently supporting the legalisation of illegal activity. Members of the factions often discredit or dismiss the other factions point of view, and this creates a debate that moves slowly.
