Families & Friends for Drug Law Reform believes prohibition laws are more the problem than the solution. It seeks alternative laws that minimise the harms.

How can politicians believe that decriminalising tiny amounts of drugs will bring drugs teaming into the country? Don't they know that is already happening? Thanks to @DavidPocock @FairTreatmentAU @greencate

The conversation was started long ago. Not enough listeners. 28th Remembrance Ceremony for ‘those who lose their lives through our efforts to save them from drugs’ will take place in Canberra on Monday 23 October.

Today is @OverdoseDay. A reminder to us all that shame and stigma present the biggest barrier to help for people who use drugs.

We're taking time out to reflect today about tragically lost loved ones in the war on drugs, and to re-affirm out commitment to serving our community.
