Challenging prohibitionist propaganda & misinformation is crucial to changing minds & policy for the public good

We need to reclaim the drug policy discourse with evidence based accurate & scientific discussion

A drug is a psychoactive substance - it’s not a banned substance.
People who take psychoactive drugs are portrayed by prohibitionists as somehow different- Othered. And they are so punished for it.

Prohibitionists don’t want us to realise they also enjoy & use psychoactive drugs.

They need the facade, but...
There’s no difference between a trimethylxanthine, ethanol or 3-(1-methyl-2-pirolidil) pyridine drug user & someone who uses banned drugs?

The people who use state approved drugs & their reasons for doing so, are no different to people who use banned substances

#WeAllUseDrugs
There is no war on drugs.

There has never been a war on drugs.

What we have are drug wars.

A war to establish, enforce & maintain a drug apartheid
There is no scientific evidence behind this bifurcation of psychoactive drugs - the separation & brutal system of control is based on lies, political manipulation and vested interest.

We have been brainwashed.

What we call “drugs” is a social construct.
Prohibition is not ‘out of date’ - it was never okay.

Prohibition hasn’t failed - it’s been exposed as a corrupt system.

Prohibition is sustained by vested interests:
Psychoactive drugs are not inherently & inevitably dangerous - it’s the brutal & barbaric system of prohibition enforcement that’s dangerous
