Stay safe this NYE folks :-)

Some quality reporting by Mikaela Ortolan & Andi Yu via ABC News #BeHeardNotHarmed #TimetoTest #pilltesting amp.abc.net.au/article/103291…

We fully support the call for pill testing at all festivals and fixed sites. It is time to stop people dying or being significantly harmed. Chris Picton MP Peter Malinauskas

EXEMPLAR: Great story on #pilltesting by Rachel Eddie via The Age featuring Ash Blackwell 🌸 and Students for Sensible Drug Policy Australia! The fact that Victoria prohibits official pill testing, despite similar monitoring of drugs occurring, is ridiculous and hypocritical. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

With one hand Victoria prohibits the drug testing protocols in festivals that save lives due to overdose With the other they allow clinical business to charge 19.000 to 25.000$ to patients for therapies that use some of the same drugs Medical/financial apartheid + double moral

So true #drugpolicy

There is a concept known as "drug seizure porn". You know the deal: guns, drug and money in a photo next to a story about a massive drug seizure. However, this is new: vapes. We are not really sure how to categorise this!?! #AODMediaWatch #drugs #lawenforcement #media #journalism

Great, so we're doing estimated 'street values' for seized vapes now. Tune in next week for 'record seizures show our plan is working', 'landed another decisive blow against organised crime', and other fact-free furphys from the prohibition crowd. theguardian.com/society/2024/j…

Our founder, Dr Stephen Bright, was a guest on a recent episode of Simon Hill MSc, BSc in which he discusses the disconnect between media reporting on AOD-related harm and the actual incidence of such harms. Link to Episode: theproof.com/should-drugs-b…
