SSDP Australia are looking for up to 3 new Board Directors for a 2y term. Join our growing national org & the movement for drug law reforms. Applications close 3 July. bitly.ws/JVIG
Drug checking is here to stay! With yesterdays #ACTbudget, CanTEST has been funded for another 18 months! We know that this program is saving lives and creating better outcomes for drug users in Canberra. Here's to us @pilltestingaus @DirectionsAOD @scienceANU 🥂
This just happened!! In an Australia first three Parliaments across the country will have the same bill read in for debate at the same time! Stay tuned to find out more about what the bill means and why it is so important for cannabis law reform. #springst #vicpol #freetheplant
A massive meta-analysis of over 50,000 patients which concludes, in part, that CBT is not superior to other psychotherapies in the treatment of depression. This is despite CBT marketing for decades claiming it to be the "gold standard" treatment. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36640411/
It’s easier to find a dealer than an opioid substitution therapy prescriber in Victoria: — Sione Crawford of @HRV_Aust at #HR23, echoing the findings of the recent evaluation of the Nth Richmond #MSIR chaired by John Ryan
Really looking forward to the next week of #HR23 with @ssdp_australia Keen to workshop with peers, service providers, researchers, policymakers, and our other allies in our fight for equitable drug policy and respect for drugs and people who use them. #StrengthInSolidarity
Excited to be a part of the global harm reduction community coming together at #HR23 in Melbourne! #StrengthInSolidarity
these warnings are a good reminder that illicit MDMA markets are unregulated. The juxtaposition of these warnings with the recent announcement by the @TGAgovau that MDMA will be available as a medicine for PTSD in July is… stark.
Orange brick-shaped tablets marked with a ‘Nike tick’ have been linked to recent hospitalisations in Vic. They are sold as MDMA but also contain pentylone. Risk of toxic effects is increased if mixed with other stimulants, psychedelics or some medications. health.vic.gov.au/drug-alerts/pe…
Australia becomes the first country in the world to recognise MDMA as a medicine. Who would have thought! tga.gov.au/news/media-rel…
The month four results from CanTEST, Australia's first fixed site drug checking service, are out today!
While participants experienced police surveillance when visiting inner-city & western suburbs, had limited contact with police when on the Beaches. Targeted policing limited to a single suburb, which ‘stood out’ because it was the poorest part of an otherwise affluent area
Absence of street drug market meant that drug transactions were assimilated into non-threatening middle-class suburban settings where police are less interventionist. This includes cafés, parking lots, out front of a block of townhouses or the driveway of suburban family home
With no street-based drug market, participants mostly acquired drugs from friends and acquaintances from high school & middle-class drug scene. Though this was not the most reliable market, so regular visits to inner-city & western suburbs of Syd were common as well
New paper in @APSAD_DAR with Theresa Caruana & Lisa Maher, involving qualitative description of a group of people who inject drugs in an affluent area of Sydney, the Northern Beaches
Excellent news for the ACT. Thank you to all the peers, advocates, service providers, and other allies for all your hard work so far and all that is to come.
Fantastic news! A medically supervised injecting room is one of the big missing pieces in Canberra's harm reduction strategy. We look forward to working with the government to ensure that this site is fit for purpose. canberratimes.com.au/story/8011256/…
For drug policy to be a united movement, we must reach out to all of the causes and struggles that are impacted by their criminalisation & stigma. There cannot be drug policy reform without sex work support, anti-racism, decolonialism, migrant support, & many, many more!
Tina McPhee delivering a powerful keynote @UNSWLaw, describing the collateral consequences of conviction, civil death, the “perfect legality” of discrimination against returning people & the need for non-performative engagement with people with lived experience.
Young people aged 21 and under have until 19 October to submit a 90-second speech to @RaiseOurVoiceAu Speeches should answer 'What should Australia's new Parliament accomplish?' You can submit your speech through the link in our bio.
Farewell to Bruno Latour, whose scholarship has profoundly influenced Cultural Studies research around the world. Go gently. #BrunoLatour #AcademicTwitter #Vale theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…
Multiple overdoses at NSW festivals this weekend. If you’re not delivering on recommendations suggested by experts- from both Coronial, AND Special inquiries, (commissioned by your own government)- you are now actively part of the problem. #pilltesting nybreaking.com/music-festival…
Even so, it’s rare to hear these voices - usually through NGOs. Academics and policy makers often forget to ask or consider what it is that cigarette smokers, the people they are supposedly protecting, want and need.@FCAforTC @hapai_tc @ASHNZ2025 @HealthCoA @drayeshaverrall
1000s & 1000s & 1000s of vapers have described how they struggled unsuccessfully to quit smoking for years. Then discovered #vaping. Quitting was now manageable. Why does Tobacco Control discount & ignore their experience? @LegaliseVaping @VapingAlliance @caphraorg @INNCOorg
