News From The Drug War Front Podcast.
Society & Culture
We have a wide array of stories to discuss. Today a man was caught at Sydney Airport with 3kg of methamphetamine in his suitcase.
Private clinics in Queensland have been arguing that up to a dozen opioid assisted treatment (OST) clinics could close due to federal government reforms of a system which for many years has varied widely in different states and territories.
Switzerland’s capital city, Berne, has signalled its intent to conduct a scientific pilot trial of controlled cocaine sales. This is interesting given the HAT (Heroin Assisted Treatment) pilot clinics opened in 1994.
From Brazil comes a story of an “ominous inquiry into a disproven ‘crack epidemic’”.
From the USA we will discuss “If Narcan Isn’t Working, Give More”.
We have some other overseas stories to cover if we have time.
The show is co-presented by Geoff Ward and Marion Watson.
