Petition for a Drugs 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?

The War On Citizens … sorry, ‘Drugs’ … is about the most evil thing Man has ever invented. It is the axle and the grease around which organised crime thrives. Drugs are nothing. It’s the LAW that kills.
