Basically I believe the ‘war on drugs’ is not working and we need a completely different approach. We need to learn from other countries, i.e. Portugal, and target supply not users. We need a public health and harm deduction approach to drugs. As to the issue of legalisation and decriminalisation – I think we need a none political, evidence based, Royal Commission or Citizens Assembly to take evidence and map a way forward. I think the evidence will speak for itself on both personal use and medical use of drugs.
