Fusion Party AustraliaFusion supports legalisation of cannabis, controlled and excised much the same way that alcohol and tobacco is regulated.The next step after legalising cannabis is to decriminalise all drugs because it is a health issue, not a law and order problem. Prohibition of specific substances has failed to minimise harms to individuals, communities and the economy. The next candidates for full legalisation are <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MDMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MDMA</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Psilocybin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psilocybin</a> 🍄We are already undergoing medical trials using these substances for treating a variety of conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, generalised anxiety disorder and late stage cancer patients (mood and anxiety).💊We propose a model of harm minimisation based on that implemented by Portugal, where decriminalisation has provided net benefits to society as a whole. The Portuguese model includes no advertising of relevant substances and tax revenue resulting.💲Current drug driving laws fail to improve road safety 🛣, discriminate against medical cannabis patients and impede public health outcomes. Presence of THC does not correlate to impairment, thousands of people are disadvantaged by current drug driving laws.We see this as shifting issues from the Police and Courts to Health Care 🏥, reducing opportunities for police corruption and underworld violence, as well as quality control, and alleviating many of the social ills created by classifying specific substances as illicit.Support and vote for us to end the drug war and bring in drug reforms.<a href="https://www.fusionparty.org.au/policy_faq#drug-reform" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fusionparty.org.au/policy_faq#drug-reform</a><a href="https://www.drivechangemc.org.au/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.drivechangemc.org.au/</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Safety</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Decriminalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decriminalisation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Legalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Legalisation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Psychedelic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychedelic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fusion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FourTwenty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FourTwenty</a> #420 <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LegaliseCannabis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegaliseCannabis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DrugReforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DrugReforms</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Cannabis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cannabis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RoadSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadSafety</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DriveChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DriveChange</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>

The European NetworkWhile many European countries struggle to tackle a rise in drug trafficking and drug use, some are looking to Portugal for inspiration to successfully reform judicial and medical response.In 2001 it decriminalised personal use and possession of all illegal drugs. The country has become an example to the rest of the world, showing that avant-garde reforms can reap results.Drug users are no longer treated as criminals, but as patients.<a href="https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/focus/20230116-portugal-s-alternative-response-to-drug-addiction-sparks-global-interest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/focus/20230116-portugal-s-alternative-response-to-drug-addiction-sparks-global-interest</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Drugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Drugs</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DrugReforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DrugReforms</a>
