fraudulent addiction treatment will remain common until we actually have standards of care that don't allow billing for "faith based" approaches led by poorly trained peers. www.propublica.org/article/kent... if you wouldn't pay for it for depression or cancer, you shouldn't pay for it for addiction
The War on Drug Choice
Say yes to these drugs
Say no to all other drugs or else you'll get punished and sent to jail
Time to end this deeply damaging mess.

25yrs ago Portugal tackled some branches on the tree by decriminalising drug possession, but it's clear the tree needs to be felled.
Please sign and share the petition to end the Drug War in Aotearoa NZ and develop new fit for purpose drug laws.

"For me, the switch was easier." Many have found heated tobacco products to be the only thing that helped them quit smoking.
What's their relative risk? Why are they less common in the West? And where have they had the most harm reduction impact?
@kiransidhu41.bsky.social reports:
“This could mean a group [of] high school kids who regularly gather to smoke marijuana, even in a state where it is lawful, could be deemed a ‘criminal gang’ under this bill," wrote Rep. Jaime Raskin.
By @kylejaeger.bsky.social:
This U turn illustrates the power of the Drug War Industrial Complex to sidestep amendments & efforts for incremental drug law reform.
We must abolish the existing regime by rescinding archaic drug laws & replacing them with new evidence based fit for purpose drug laws.

Addiction can be said to be a health issue but drug use per se is not a health issue.
There's far to many folk conflating drug use with addiction, and using the terms interchangeably as if they mean the same thing.
Drug use per se is not an issue.
Here's a link to the original article showing U turn.
What it doesn't show is the ethnic breakdown because Māori have in the past been massively targetted and over represented, - so that data will be interesting

A call to decriminalise drugs in 2019 led to a drug law amendment requiring police to consider a health approach in ALL drug poss. cases.
Depressing data out today shows a U turn!
No more amendments - the 50yrs old drug law simply has to go. Please sign: petitions.parliament.nz/0ab5ed2a-54c....
Laws need to be based on science, evidence and experience - please sign our petition for reform and recirculate!
Thank you so much!👍
Time for evidence based drug laws rooted in human rights and administered by Health not the Criminal Justice System!

Having a glass of wine or a coffee isn't an issue, so having a psychoactive drug isn't an issue
As we move away from drug use being a crime issue - let's guard against drug 'use' being constructed as a health issue
Not until drugs are legalised will they stop being seen as problems per se. hrca.nz

TBH we don't think drugs are inherently good or bad
Also driving the supply of some drugs underground and arresting people for using actually does far more harm than the drugs.
That's why we have a petition to legally regulate supply and legalise possession. See: hrca.nz

If you take them with D you can get banned 🤣
It's a well know issue they need a dose of vitamin D.
Although sometimes adding D can get you banned on social media.
The very foundations upon which our dr*g laws s are built are deeply flawed, crumbling with misinformation, contradiction & miunderstanding.
We simply cannot keep making adjustments or amendments.
We need a new approach.
A paradigm shift.
