Alex St ClairWhat seem to be losing sight of with all the emotion over illicit drugs five times more people are dying of drug ovedoses from legitimate prescribed drugs, but for some fucked reason its not registering with people as much as illegal drugs. Why is that?12   ·  4 weeks ago

Leona ThompsonIt's something that actually affects everyone in one form or another requiring a great deal more than the minute attention it's receiving, so sad..4 weeks ago

Adam FrostAll of these proposals seem like silly halfway measures that seek to crudely emulate the benefits of full legalization, a policy that the Greens explicitly reject.4 weeks ago

Jean Masseyit is an illness time we treated it as one---hammer the non addicted dealers and the top "drug lords" use the money to treat the addicts-----anyone caught with a certain level of alcohol in their system is addicted or they would be dead you have to build a tolerance to high level non drinkers would be dead-------stop pussyfooting arround with valuble lives2   ·  4 weeks ago

Will AkersAlcohol and cigarettes are responsible for so many deaths that I can't see the death of such a reletively trivial number of people will ever convince anyone to sacrifice their political career over it. Unless it's someone you love drug users are a couple of notches above child molester in the public's opinion.2   ·  4 weeks ago

Darryl JonesSo sick and tired of people calling Drug taking, an Illness. It is not an Illness, it is a deliberate action. Illness is something that generally cannot be avoided or is caused by something , a Virus etc etc Drug Addicts cause their own and everyone elses problems. It is a lifestyle choice, and it's about time Australia got serious rather than continuing making excuses for fools who dice with death and have no worries about how much their friends, Families and the general public are made to suffer because they cannot learn. Duterte in the Philippines has the right Idea.4   ·  4 weeks ago

Janet HoganOne definition of insanity : repeating the same action expecting a different outcome. Prohibition has never worked for anything - it drives it underground and helps fund crime. Drug use has been happening in Western culture since at least Victorian times in the general population. Nothing new.2   ·  4 weeks ago

Brett Blackbourn-ClulowAnyone who thinks the current war on drugs is working needs to read prohibition a call for change a paper by dr alex wodak. Google it and you can get it online. At 54 pages it is a lengthy but thought provoking read. For those of you not familiar with dr wodak he is the head of drug and alcohol services at Sydneys st Vincent's hospital. He is a visionary and a pioneer in his field. When HIV was an emerging issue he decided to risk arrest and his career by setting up Australia's first needle exchange which has been credited with Australia having one of the lowest HIV infection rates in the world4 weeks ago
