Sign our Petition calling for a Drug Royal Commission

We call on the Parliament to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry into:

The health, social, economic, and law enforcement costs of the Drug Prohibition.

The laws do not stop people from using drugs or protect families. After 50 years of harsh enforcement, illicit drugs are more available than ever.

Will you help us convince the government that the war on drug users does more harm than good?

  • illegal drug supply business model is entirely dependent on prohibition.

    free but controlled supply of drugs makes street drugs worthless!!! and saves lives. The gov spends our money to make crims rich via prohibition, nice ay?
  • We know prohibition doesn’t work, why are we continuing this failed policy?
  • Please, end the madness of the so-called “War on Drugs”. All the compelling evidence is in Johann Hari’s masterpiece “Chasing The Scream”.
  • end the war now!
  • It’s about time we join the rest of the world in realising that harm minimisation for our citizens is far more beneficial to society than the punitive stance we take now.
  • I support the Royal Commission of Inquiry.


    Terms of reference should be evidence-based and include an economic analysis of costs to individuals, the health system, opportunity costs of foregone employment. Discrimination on the basis of drug usage is a current cost. The costs and benefits of drug legalisation should be showcased.


    Not only drug usage but multi-pronged strategies which develop skills and capabilities for employment should be included.
  • Politicians take money from the alcohol industry to fill their political coffers while at the same time continue to wage a senseless prohibition on cannabis. Are our politicians acting like crime bosses to eliminate the competition of recreational cannabis on behalf of the alcohol industry?
  • The illegal drug policy in Australia had cost billions if not trillions dollars in public money and has not worked, we need a big change of direction, to treat them as a health issue, government need to make the right decisions as to protect its citizens
