Synthetic Drugs in NSW
Jun 10th, 2013 at 6:18am
 
Well i saw part of the speech on ABC24 last night but it sounded like some over-the-counter drug was being banned from chemists and supermarkets. Seriously the media needs to be pulled into line. From the way they were going on i thought something like panadol had been banned.

Apparently its about these drugs that wouldn't be sold in chemists or supermarkets.

SOB

While morally most would agree this is appalling, but rationally I can't see how such laws can work.

Synthetic drugs can evolve quicker than the law (much like Internet trading)  so ban one and another pops up, its like playing whack-a-mole.

I can see all sorts of problems, so exactly what are they banning ?
Legally it needs a chemical definition, a method of detection and a classification to work out punishment.

Might be good politics but the law has trouble dealing with the current known drugs, I was on a fishing trip in a rural area a year ago, went to what you would call a country pub ...... got offered all sorts of drugs, three blind mice could figure out the drug trade, I was not known to anyone yet they felt comfortable to offer me drugs.

If people want to operate within the law selling this poo , perhaps they should also take responsibility for the consequences of its use.
Unlike tobacco and alcohol sellers I know.

And what about self accountability for the morons playing chemical lotto .... synthetic or not ?

Moral outrage is wonderful, but what law are they actually breaking by selling this stuff ?
