Then I will post information about drug law liberalisation and decriminalisation—evidence based policies that are delivering real results.

I only know navel oranges. I definitely don't bother making marmalade (or eating the stuff). Next he will be telling us all about apple butter - all health and welfare, I guess but shouldn't he be talking about this stuff in his Cats and Things MRB? Huh

There's money to be made in looking after Drug Addicts.

as the article points out..
a lot of people get the two confused......

you for instance sound as if this is a solution to people doing the wrong thing.......filling their bodies with poison...

.how many drug addicts have you dealt with in your life??? mean real drug addicts...not Saturday all nighters.

Look. If some idiot want's to pump a toxic pill and has to have people like me deal with their 'problems', I'll make sure I get paid well for it. Other than that - they can drop dead for all I care. Personally, if they wanna die - they should be more constructive and visit a Mosque with a loaded vest.

Australia is looking to export a lethal party drug based on Redback venom. Reputed to attain the high level of having your brain smashed with a golden brick with a banana skin wrapped around it.
Hopefully we can pump heaps into China.

Atm - China is pumping Ice & Meths into Britain like the British pumped Opium into their populous. They've been one of our biggest importers of Ice, CDMA, Meths, etc with Columbia and Mexico.

Australia has the highest ratio of population that uses illicit drugs. Australia is a cash cow for overseas illicit Drug Dealers. No wonder the kids are being born all Wonky these days. Parents are polluted with all sorts of retardents in their systems - to carry into the unborn children. All these fragile eggshell allergy prone Aussie kids these days. All popping out Autistic-like.

Quote:

Decriminalisation

When drug use and possession are decriminalised, criminal charges are not applied.

Criminal charges are those brought against a person by police and legal practitioners on behalf of the government. They are managed through the court system.* If a person is found guilty and convicted, punishment may include jail time. The person will also have a criminal record.

A criminal conviction can result in the breakdown of personal relationships and close off future employment, housing and travel options. For example, future employers may reject a job application because of a criminal record. A person with a criminal record may not be granted a visa to visit other countries. The stigma of a criminal record may cause mental anguish. Having a criminal record can severely impact on someone’s life.

Decriminalisation may replace criminal penalties with civil penalties. These could include referral to an education or treatment program, or a fine. Civil cases do not have to go through the court system and may be dealt with by tribunals.1 While records may be kept by a tribunal, these are not criminal records and will not affect employment, housing, or travel opportunities. The key difference to a criminal model is that in a decriminalised model, while penalties still apply for use and possession of drugs, they are no longer criminal charges.

Decriminalisation is not legalisation. If drug possession and personal use are decriminalised, it is still illegal to possess and use drugs. Selling and manufacturing drugs still carry criminal penalties.
