Congratulations @knowyourstuffnz.bsky.social for ten years of amazing work! 🤩💜💛✊️

Time to legalise and regulate drugs to support community health and wellbeing. 💜✊️✊🏿💚

No one should be criminalised for small possession, it only increases harm and creates extra challenges. 💚✊🏿✊️💜

Very good to know from the UK! 💜

Amazing advocacy! 💜✊️

People who use drugs deserve to be safe to call emergency services! 💜✊️

We need good access to vaping as a harm reduction tool! 💜✊️

Fantastic collaboration! 🤩👌💜

Absolutely, we need strong A-NZ drug law foundations! 💚✊🏿✊️💜

A great @knowyourstuffnz.bsky.social Mythbuster Monday! 💛🤩💜

Congratulations Fiji! 💙🇫🇯

Prohibition doesn't work, access to tabacco harm reduction is key! 💜✊️✊🏿

Harm reduction saves lives, prevents harm and saves costs. 💜✊️✊🏿💚

This will go down in history as punishing people who took a stand and did everything to save their community from harm and deaths, while far-right people will be seen as horrible for trying to get them punished by manipulating the narrative. We stand with DULF as people who use drugs matter! 💜✊️❤️

Common world, let's stop listening to morally self-righteous people who want to control others, while benefits of cannabis are proven and legalising regulated supply can prevent injustices and health inequities. 💚✊️💜✊🏿Time to do better together!

Peer leadership is crucial! 💜✊️❤️ Cause people who use drugs do it best.

Civil society space keeps shrinking, but our connections keep growing.

#Solidarity isn’t a slogan — it’s how we survive, build power and protect our #communities. 💪

@knowyourstuffnz.bsky.social showing us the way for drug checking nationally that's how you do it! 💛✊️💜

We need for Australia to align with the A-NZ Tabacco harm reduction policies, rather than prohibition that nurtures black markets and harm. Prohibition never works, we should know better by now. 💜✊️

Free DULF, they should be honoured not criminalised! 💜✊️

Of course, criminalisation of people who use drugs is a political tool creating suffering and deaths for political gain by dividing people through moral conditioning. We should know better, we are people, and no one deserves to be harmed like this. Liberation of PWUD is crucial for health equity! 💜✊️

When those three international orgs speak together, the world should listen! 💜✊️

NZ MoDA background, very interesting! 💛✊️💜

Time for drug checking with @knowyourstuffnz.bsky.social, Auckland! 💛✊️💜
