The Government’s proposed amendments will retain the list of drugs proposed in the Private Member’s Bill other than methadone, which is regulated as a pharmaceutical drug. However, it will move the list of drugs to regulation to ensure flexibility in responding to changes in the market. Police will retain discretion to respond to the circumstances of specific situations, having a range of options available including fines, diversion or cautions as appropriate. They will also still be able to prosecute people for other offenses that occurred at the same time as the drug possession offense. https://www.cmtedd.act.gov.au/open_government/inform/act_government_media_releases/rachel-stephen-smith-mla-media-releases/2022/act-to-decriminalise-small-amounts-of-illicit-drugs.
I am not so sure myself, decriminalization is an empty gesture the police will still be on yer case and someone else will be making decisions on yr behalf .. don't do things in half measures, marijuana remains the drug of choice for millions of Australians.
nup. tobacco (herp derp ban it because deadly) speeding fines (herp derp fast cars deadly) alcohol tax (herp derp drunks are deadly) and petrol tax (herp derp petrol makes climate change which is deadly) are what keeps the states profitable, which is why they dont actually ban tobacco, they just illegally discriminate against them by pushing them further and further away from public places, they wont mechanically limit cars because then no massive profits from hidden cameras, alcohol mainly because most of the politicians themselves would have to go dry, or petrol because fucking excise and gst on it.
we would go broke if they really gave that much of a fuck about safety that they outright ban dangerous shit. they just try to profit off it instead.... for a long time, tobacco tax went up, people would stop smoking or find chop chop dealers, no profit, prices quietly dorpped again weeks later, people smoking again.
as far as im concerned they need to fuck right off and let people do what kills them, and not intervene unless someone else gets victimised. as for illegal hard narcotics... ban paramedic responses to ODs from non prescribed meds, body left where it is as a visual lesson for people of what happens when you go too fucken far.
EDIT - side note, went to a 7-11 today and on the fridge with the energy drinks is a big ass "NON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE RESTRICTED SALES 18+" sign... im like what the shit... is that even a thing? definitely never seen that horseshit sign before.
Government over regulation that makes big bux for the mega grower cartels, means medical marijuana remains out of the financial reach of those Australians who need it most .. the way forward is to grow what you need, if you need opiates to control the pain plant poppies in yr backyard, beside the coca bushes and the Afghan hash weeds. That way you have the police and the medicos off of yr back .. if you want to make a few extra dollars sell yr excess production at unregulated farmer's markets.
There's quite a number of schizophrenics and bipolars who benefit from prescription medication and can't live without them.
You want people to that being an asshole with no social skills or self control is a medical condition so they'll waste their lives and the defense of their nation for you. How much fentanyl do you mail to North America for the kids who want a better high than marijuana?
Of corse the fact that people with Compt or act 1 gemes actually trigger schizophrenia with marijuana use.
But you keep talking like a fucking bot repeating and repeating what you heard that you think we think soundss mart. You're a killer who's life should end as meaninglessly as you are.
in any job you will work in in australia it would take you all of about 2 days to work out whos got the best weed dealers.
no one needs a prescription to get the shit. and thanks to a small number of people who do have prescriptions.... cops can no longer straight up fuck you in the ass for testing positive to it roadside unless you blow over .05 or the lick stick comes up with something else. unless youre looking trashed for some other reason or straight up being a mouthy cunt they wont even ask you about the thc being positive in fear of copping privacy act lawsuits.
only been lick sticked twice. no fucking way i was negative. it was flat out ignored both times.
"Do ya know how many fatal accidents ive had to attend where the driver ate a marijooannas and fell asleep behind the wheel? huh? HUH?" "why yes officer, yes i do. fucking none ya lying sack of shit."
It's legal for me to be in possession of up to 5 ounces here in Arkansas. A lot of cops are assmad about that. I was recently fined for littering, I dropped my joint when they rushed my campsite.

Stigmatize cigarette smokers and 80% quit.
Don't stigmatize drug users and more die every day.
They've been peddling the "prohibition doesn't work" bullshit for 50 years. They like the deaths they get from that.
People who do that for them will end up against a wall, and deserve it.
