Shout out to #Rethinkaddiction partner organisation Ted Noffs Foundation whose CEO Matt Noffs is quoted in the article, advocating for a more ambitious change to drug policy in NSW

It’s been on the horizon for yonks. And should be praised. I’m sure Mark Speakman is encouraged by the news too.

Not quite yet. NSW will be dragging the chain Pill Testing for some time. However, let’s praise Gladys for ensuring that it became a hot topic. It would have smouldered a lot earlier if it wasn’t for her personal resistance to the evidence.

BIG THANK YOU to VIVID and the 300 strong (mostly women) who came to hear Glen-Marie and my new man-crush Rick Morton talk last week at vividsydney.com/event/ideas/fa…

We raise our young gladiators for the arena and (like our forbears) we rush to flog them when they don’t live up to our values “there are many different ­reasons why someone uses drugs” says Noffelberry theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/afl-…

A very last minute but generous offer for me to sit in for Bob Carr tomorrow night (Bob will still make a speech) on panel to discuss whether it’s time for Oz to legalise drugs. 400+ already coming! Come along.

In this drug-induced (coffee) interview 𝕁𝕠𝕤𝕙 𝕊𝕫𝕖𝕡𝕤 and I trawl through the different jurisdiction’s drug laws and spell out the diff between prohibition, decriminalisation, regulation and legalisation. It’s not what you think…or is it? abc.net.au/sydney/program…

Well done to all involved getting the Fixed Site Pill Testing Pilot up! Another step in forward and thank you for your service David Caldicott Harm Reduction Aus ❤️

Complain. Kvetch. Scratch your head all you want, but NSW just decriminalised drugs by another name. Fines now instead of arrests for drug possession. Many thanks to all who helped get it over the line but it’s Mark Speakman who deserves bravery award: smh.com.au/politics/nsw/p… 👏

It's been #timetotest in NSW for a long time. I miss Gladys and her fierce opposition to Pill Testing. But here's one thing that ACT (and soon Qld) won't miss - the hospitalisations. I chat with Hamish McD re: Drug Summit and the evolution of PT abc.net.au/news/2023-10-0…

Can't wait for tonight on ABC RN Late Night Live Late Night Live with Phillip Adams - my much loved Sensei. Neither Street University nor me would be anywhere without him.
