I didn't. Which was silly, in retrospect, because I already believe that most people who use drugs at that level are basically self-medicating to deal with trauma.

I knew our drugs policy was stupid but that's a really damning indictment of just how much it is failing some of the most vulnerable people in our society and perpetuating problems rather than mitigating them.

Yup, we're taking people who have nothing to live for, and are using drugs to cope with that, and criminalising them. It's awful.

It really is. If there is one thing I think we're getting most wrong in this country, it is drugs policy.
