in the Australian drug market: the cause and impacts of the sudden
heroin shortage and increased supply of stimulants in 2000-01by
Bill Bush This study is intended as a survey of what is known
about the large and unprecedented changes to the Australian drug
market in 2000 and 2001. It focuses on those changes. They are
important because of their uniqueness for Australia, the fact that
similar changes did not seem to occur elsewhere, the insight that they
give into the working of illicit drugs markets and for what they
reveal about the efficacy of existing drug policy.
