Heated Tobacco Products Shouldn’t Be a Harm Reduction Afterthought - Filter Gary Sweeney may be in a minority among people who quit smoking in his community in County Donegal, Ireland, but ...

"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?

“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.

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.

Cannabis charges surge to 8-year high after years of decline Police say higher charges mirror wastewater data showing more cannabis use.

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....

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

Tackling drugs or tackling drug policy? — Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa The legal regulation debate has little to do with the pros and cons of particular drugs – these drugs are already in circulation and being used ‘underground’. Instead of debating drugs, we need to deb...

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

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.
