Our founder, Dr Stephen Bright, was a guest on a recent episode of @theproof in which he discusses the disconnect between media reporting on AOD-related harm and the actual incidence of such harms. Link to Episode: theproof.com/should-drugs-b…

Great, so we're doing estimated 'street values' for seized vapes now. Tune in next week for 'record seizures show our plan is working', 'landed another decisive blow against organised crime', and other fact-free furphys from the prohibition crowd. theguardian.com/society/2024/j…

@jamomartin Illicit markets exist because there is demand the product and the supply is a lucrative business. The only way to impact an established market is to reduce demand. Efforts to reduce supply are futile.

@AODMediaWatch Also, if the numbers cited by ABF are correct, then a vape that retails on 'the street' for $30 can be purchased wholesale from China for $3. That's a 10x markup - a similar profit margin for many widely available illicit drugs

With one hand Victoria prohibits the drug testing protocols in festivals that save lives due to overdose With the other they allow clinical business to charge 19.000 to 25.000$ to patients for therapies that use some of the same drugs Medical/financial apartheid + double moral
AOD Media Watch@AODMediaWatch

EXEMPLAR: Great story on #pilltesting by @heyracheddie via @theage featuring @AshBinAus and @ssdp_australia! The fact that Victoria prohibits official pill testing, despite similar monitoring of drugs occurring, is ridiculous and hypocritical. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

@7NewsSydney Given the treatment, which costs $25,000, involves three doses, how do the doctors know that the patient has responded? In what way were they shocked? And what happens if the relapse 3 months later. What is the refund policy? Be careful not to breach the @TGAgovau code 7 News!

Australia is becoming the first place in the world where magic mushrooms, and MDMA can be prescribed, for severe mental health conditions. The first patients began the treatment this week, and their doctors have been shocked by the results. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS
