Cracking down on cannabis
February 13, 2006
Page 1 of 2
The Government is echoing alarmist reports of a cannabis and mental health crisis.
Abstinence or harm-minimisation? A clash of values is emerging, writes Bill Bush.
Police coming down hard to solve a health problem? This is just what the Commonwealth Government is calling for to improve mental health.
Even though the use of cannabis has declined by 37 per cent, the Prime Minister asked heads of Government at Friday's COAG meeting to toughen their laws on the drug.
The signs are that this is the vanguard of steps to reverse Australia's harm-minimisation drug policy in favour of one that puts a premium on abstinence and stronger law enforcement.

Aloha. We've still got a lot of work to do. Who will assist us with financing to get the job done right? This begs for a response by the THC Ministry.
All the best to you,
Roger
