We need our own language, one that enlightens and reveals more accurately the truth about so called 'drugs', 'addiction', risks, prevention and treatment - our current discourse is riddled with Drug War propaganda that colludes & perpetuates the misinformation.
09.10.2025 05:23 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The Drug War:
Peddling & promoting commercially produced drugs, (as if they aren't drugs at all), then prohibiting & punishing the use of all other drugs, (as if they're all inherently more risky)!
The Misuse of Drugs Act has no credibility whatsoever.
The hypocrisy & misinformation
Let's sort it.

Our understanding of drugs are too often unevolved, prejudicial and misinformed.
We struggle to see alcohol, nicotine, sugar and caffeine as drugs while misleadingly regarding all prohibited substances as dangerous. Then we conflate any use of prohibited substance with addiction or problematic use.

"The attack thought to be retribution for stealing a large quantity of methamphetamine plus $60,000 cash"
Another example of prohibition failure - it fuels crime and violence.

WHO says daily consumption of raw coca leaves by millions in the Andes carries no significant risks - BUT coca control strategies are associated with โsubstantial public health harmsโ.
Prohibition is causing far more harm than the drugs they purport to protect us from.

NZ Police celebrating a 'Whack-a-Mole' drug seizure, then proclaim it's a 'multimillion-dollar trade for organised criminal enterprisesโ with no sense of irony policing & prohibition has turned it into 'a multimillion-dollar trade for organised criminal enterprises'!

We are receiving important reminders about paracetamol that association is not causation. Could someone also tell the NZ Transport Agency that association is not causation. Drugs like cannabis can be detected days, weeks even months after consumption. Drug presence is not the same as drug impairment

Kahurangi Carter MP did great work submitting a Good Samaritan Bill for the NZ Parliament 'Biscuit Tin' pot luck
We are delighted that it's been chosen for debate by Parliament!!
We've waited far too long for a Good Samaritan Law in Aotearoa - this is a great opportunity!
