Drug reform advocates hailed Oregon as a progressive leader when it became the first in the nation to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the compound found in psychedelic mushrooms. But four years later, voters in a growing list of its cities have banned the substance. #psilocybin #drugreform

I'm glad to see this. This model works incredibly well in Spain and in Germany, and is much better than the commercial model in the US and Canada.
But one thing must be made clear; continued criminalisation of weed is outdated and must be fixed asap. The fact that people are being arrested for using what is a completely safe and harmless drug makes zero sense!

The interim report from the Oireachtas Committee on Drugs Use calls for the Government to implement a health-led approach, alongside decriminalisation of the person in relation to possession of illicit drugs for personal use.
New report from UNSW highlights Australia's spending priorities on illicit drug policies. Shockingly, less than 10% goes towards prevention, treatment and harm reduction. State and federal governments spent approximately $5.45B on illicit drug countermeasures in the 2021/2022 financial year.

We advocate for a harm minimisation model similar to Portugal's successful approach, focusing on decriminalisation and public health.
By shifting focus from law enforcement to healthcare, we will address social issues caused by current drug policies. Support us in bringing about meaningful change.

Australian governments spent nearly $5.5 billion on illicit drug countermeasures in 2021/2022, but less than 10 per cent went towards strategies aimed at preventing use and reducing negative consequences.

Just as a reminder of where Irish public opinion currently sits:
•70% support legalisation of currently illegal drugs for medicinal use.
•54% support legalisation of weed for recreational use.
The Business Post/RedC poll shows 70 per cent support for currently illegal drugs to be made available for therapeutic or medicinal use and over 50 per cent support for the regulated sale of cannabis for recreational use
As Ireland's Citizen Assembly on Drug Use continues their deliberations, it's great to see Scotland pushing for decriminalisation of personal use.
Hoping that Ireland moves towards this model which has been proven to work in Portugal and other countries.

However, it is frequently criticised for encouraging skewed or erroneous impressions of drugs and for contributing to "panics" about the prevalence of drug use and the potential effects that may not reflect reality.
