In a press release from the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Hon. Greg Hunt, the Australian Government will extend the National Ice Strategy (NAS), investing more than $M 315 over 4 years to reduce the impact of ice, other drugs and alcohol.
The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) Chief Executive Officer Michael Phelan has said the estimated street value of the four major illicit drugs used by Australians (methylamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA and heroin) was B$ 10.3 last year up from B$ 8.3 the previous year.
We will also discuss some international news such as calls for London to pilot drug checking and consumption rooms to “lead the way” in tackling drug deaths.
From the US, comes public health workers in Washington State proposing safe smoking supplies as a way of reducing the harms caused by injecting fentanyl. There is also an interesting article about the “secret drug culture at West Point”
