The ACT Greens are pleased that minimising drug harm is already on the Legislative Assembly’s agenda, having brought the issue to the fore during the ACT election campaign.
“I have firsthand experience caring for someone close to me who has struggled with drug dependency,” said Johnathan Davis, Brindabella MLA and Greens spokesperson on drug harm minimisation.
“When people demonise drug use, they often forget we are talking about people – someone’s son or daughter, their husband, mother, friend.
“It’s critical that we try new ways to reduce the harmful health, social and economic impacts of drugs on people in our community.
