Drug prohibition causes more harm than it prevents. Fusion will replace criminal records with health-led diversion, regulate cannabis, and expunge old convictions. It's time to end the war on drugs. #auspol #DrugLawReform

Prohibition does not work, it just adds criminal records to a health problem. Fusion will legalise cannabis, divert personal use to care, and clear old records. Time to end the war on drugs. Join the movement. #auspol #DrugLawReform

Not sure how many on here agree that drug prohibition is a hugely costly, counter-productive and harmful failure. I hope it's a lot! Always happy to discuss concerns. Remember, though, no policy is perfect so a new approach doesn't have to be perfect, just better than what went before #druglawreform

Encouraging response when I asked the Health Minister if he thought the Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) was outdated and needlessly punished people in NI in a debate earlier this week -
#DrugLawReform
Screenshot of text of a question from Danny Donnelly MLA to the Health Minister during an Assembly debate. Text reads ‘Mr Donnelly: Does the Minister agree that the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 is outdated, that it needlessly punishes people who use drugs and that its impact on people in Northern Ireland should be reviewed? Mr Nesbitt: I thank the Member for his intervention. The fact that the law dates from 1971 suggests that it may well be fit for review. The Member is taking me into the area of a different debate, and it is a debate that I would very much welcome the House having, including our debating taking a position on whether we are in the right place, and have been since the early 1970s, or whether it is time to look at taking a different approach. Again, for me, the fundamental is to look at the causes of the causes and how we address them.’

Why bother asking the experts in the alcohol and drug area if you are going to ignore the single thing they say will help the problem? I've worked in AOD and Harm Reduction for over 35 years and I'm so over the 'drugs are bad' rhetoric. . :-( #harmreduction #australia #druglawreform
Why has NSW ruled out what health experts say is the ‘best way forward’ on drugs?
