Labour MP @charlotte2153 making the case for the long overdue rescheduling of psilocybin to enable research into potential therapeutic purposes. Evidence must be the basis of policymaking, not political expediency.

Labour's brilliant advocate for evidence-based drug policies @MayorofLondon has a Met Police Commissioner who also understands the benefits of non-criminalising approaches to drugs. Labour-led London will continue to lead the fight for sensible, evidence-led drug policies.
Volteface@VoltefaceHub

A clear thumbs up for diversion schemes from new Met Police boss Mark Rowley. This is what evidence led policy-making looks like. @SuellaBraverman take note.

Inconceivable in this day and age there’s even discussion about making cannabis a Class A. If this ever happened then evidence-based policy making has fully ended. Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman considers making cannabis class A drug mol.im/a/11296157 by @ElizabethHaighx

🚨Labour Party news: @wordsbyjayj asked @AndyBurnhamGM and @SadiqKhan about their views on drug policy reform and cannabis legalisation at Labour conference last week. 😬It's fair to say that they took *differing* perspectives on the issue⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=2uIV1U…

Our Secretariat @wordsbyjayj spoke to @Dazed about harm reduction content on social media and what needs to change⬇️
Jack Ramage@jck_rmg

For @dazed - TikTok is becoming a powerful tool to promote harm reduction content to young people in the absence of adequate education from the government/schools fuelled by the war on drugs. These creators genuinely save lives. Read and share if u like! dazeddigital.com/life-culture/a…

In the first question of this Parliamentary session, I asked the Home Secretary to follow the evidence on drug overdose prevention units. Too many people are dying. Maybe a new Home Secretary will.
