 In September 2011 Australia21 appointed a steering group that included a number of Australian experts on illicit drug policy. Their task was to work towards an Australian review of the policy of prohibition and explore a different approach to illicit drugs in Australia. The group recommended a high level exploratory roundtable on the topic; What are the likely costs and benefits of a change in Australia’s current policy on illicit drugs?

MardiGrass comedy has been part of the MardiGrass rally for many years now and has featured many famous Australian comedians.

GW Pharmaceuticals would have you believe that it’s a “pharmaceutical” product because according to its research that’s what patients prefer. As the GW spokesman puts it, “It’s a pharmaceutical solution, formulated with the ability to deliver a precise dose and with stringent standards of quality, safety and efficacy”.

Tinkerbell clung to me sobbing. “Pipe might die they said and he doesn’t care.” More sobbing. Apparently they found him halfway back from the patch, black with leeches.
