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?

  • I’m a nurse – this is a public health issue, minimise harm!
  • Email me
  • In 1983 they branded me a drug addict for life over some lousy cannabis plants. Now they give me a script for it. They ruined my whole entire adult life for something I can just go and buy now? The drug laws are 100% counter-productive. The law allows the government to invade your home and that’s just not right.
  • Prohibition has never and will never be the answer to drug use. History proves this, looking at alcohol prohibition in the USA. For example.

    Harm reduction, education, and people making informed decisions would impact many people positively.

    Lots of young people take illicit drugs just as an act of rebellion, and the spiral of addiction is begun.

    It is time for a new set of views, take note of what decriminalisation has achieved overseas.

    Drug use has been demonised by hypocritical governments, and a decades long scare tactic campaign aimed at users. The cost of trying to police and prosecute low level users could be used for treatment, support and rehabilitation.

    How did we get this so wrong?
  • Great idea full support.
  • If they are too blind to see the impact meaningful holistic drug reforms are having overseas I can’t see any other viable options available to us to force some serious attention to the archaic treatment /punishment circus that gives no real hope for any better ambitions while struggling with addiction treatment options…
  • This is so important
  • It’s a rort they are only testing for traces of drugs in your system and not if you are really affected by drugs and they know how long drugs can stay in your system it’s revenue raising at its finest
  • Why are we waiting!!!!
  • Legislation on scripts on thc and driving need to be changed
  • You can’t have a ‘War on Drugs’—it’s really a ‘War on People’ which harms everyone in our society—it was introduced without any evidence base, and it FAILED!
  • Prohibition kills.

    Harm Reduction saves lives.
