Incorrect and offensive to medicinal cannabis patients in SA but across the country. THC can be detected days and sometimes weeks after consumption
South Australia Police your so called zero tolerance is not based on evidence just stigma

yesterday's news about a the cancellation of the second life saving supervised injecting facility was disappointing but the new era of collaboration at the North Richmond MSIR is great news

It would be great if Minister Mark Butler MP or his staff seek scientific evidence a bit more broadly than they are doing right now

Extremely disappointed about the announcement on the second supervised injecting but a Hydromorphone trial is long overdue and something we campaigned on for many years

Mark Butler MP Raf Epstein Dear Minister,

➡️Stop lying. You know that Big Tobacco does not supply any of the vapes used by young people
➡️Have you forgotten about their smoking parents and grandparents - the people most at risk?

The Australian Health Minister insists that the regulation and control of vapes won't work but here is what is happening in New Zealand.

More deadly opioids making their way here (linked to 54 deaths in the UK) but we will not be opening a second supervised injecting facility. National Drug Strategy Household survey found 56% of Victorians support these life saving facilities which are now even more important

DRUG ALERT 19/4

Another very potent pressed MDMA pill is doing the rounds, with significantly more MDMA than one person would enjoy in one sitting. Just like the real Donald Trump, this pill is one to be wary of.

Remember to test your stuff, Visit CanTEST in the CBD.

Yup. This is what Advance, the IPA, Church & State Conference, Australian Christian Lobby, Libertarians, and many Liberal politicians want to bring to Australia.

It’s real and it’s dangerous.

Heads the private schools win, tails the public schools lose. The inequities in our education system are so profound, the funding so corrupted, we need to scrap it & start again. And this time use children’s needs as the driver not neo liberal ideology. theage.com.au/national/victo…

There's overwhelming evidence that vapes are the best tool for smoking cessation
Allowing access via a hard to get script for an even harder to get product is prohibition Ryan Park MP
Yes to strict regulation but with easy access for adult smokers
