THEY WANT TO LEGALIZE ALL MIND ALTERING DRUGS

 

The push for injecting rooms is really about legalizing all mind-altering drugs.

 

All illegal drugs like heroin, LSD, cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana, ecstasy, speed, are dangerous and are mind altering.

 

The chairman of the Bracks government’s drug committee at a meeting on 28 May 2000 confirmed his view in the Australian 31/7/96, “In the long run, I believe removing the criminal penalties is the only way of overcoming the very dangerous and damaging illicit trade...”

 

This is the real reason behind legalized injecting rooms.

 

They have legalized syringe distribution, now they want to legalize injecting rooms, then they will want to legalize free heroin to addicts, which normalizes drug use.

 

Once mind altering drug use is normalized they argue for legalization – that’s the real plan.

 

The process of normalization of all mind-altering drugs has been underway in Australia for the past 15 years this is why drug use and drug deaths have increased.

 

Government reports show heroin deaths in Victoria have skyrocketed –

1991                                                            49

1992                                                            98

1993                                                            59

1994                                                            84

1995                                                          140

1996                                                          169

1997                                                          166

1998                                                          268

1999                                                          359

The Government’s drug experts expect heroin deaths in Victoria to be 496 in 2005.

 

The current policy of normalization of mind-altering drugs is a massive failure

 

We demand -

 Less addicts not more

Don’t legalize drug pushing

Less crime not more

Taxes for injecting rooms must be used to get addicts’ drug free

More detoxification & effective rehabilitation programs

Prisons & youth centers must get addicts’ drug free
