Fusion Party Australia<p>Fusion supports legalisation of cannabis, controlled and excised much the same way that alcohol and tobacco is regulated.</p><p>The next step after legalising cannabis is to decriminalise all drugs because it is a health issue, not a law and order problem. Prohibition of specific substances has failed to minimise harms to individuals, communities and the economy. <br>The next candidates for full legalisation are <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MDMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MDMA</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Psilocybin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psilocybin</span></a> 🍄</p><p>We are already undergoing medical trials using these substances for treating a variety of conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, generalised anxiety disorder and late stage cancer patients (mood and anxiety).💊</p><p>We propose a model of harm minimisation based on that implemented by Portugal, where decriminalisation has provided net benefits to society as a whole. <br>The Portuguese model includes no advertising of relevant substances and tax revenue resulting.💲</p><p>Current drug driving laws fail to improve road safety 🛣, discriminate against medical cannabis patients and impede public health outcomes.<br>Presence of THC does not correlate to impairment, thousands of people are disadvantaged by current drug driving laws.</p><p>We see this as shifting issues from the Police and Courts to Health Care 🏥, reducing opportunities for police corruption and underworld violence, as well as quality control, and alleviating many of the social ills created by classifying specific substances as illicit.</p><p>Support and vote for us to end the drug war and bring in drug reforms.</p><p><a href="https://www.fusionparty.org.au/policy_faq#drug-reform" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fusionparty.org.au/policy_faq#</span><span class="invisible">drug-reform</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.drivechangemc.org.au/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">drivechangemc.org.au/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Decriminalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decriminalisation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Legalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Legalisation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Psychedelic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psychedelic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fusion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FourTwenty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FourTwenty</span></a> #420 <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LegaliseCannabis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegaliseCannabis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DrugReforms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrugReforms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Cannabis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cannabis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RoadSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoadSafety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DriveChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DriveChange</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a></p>
