SPECIAL ALERT! - WORLD DRUG DAY - 26TH JUNE, 2024

| Topic 1 – June 26 - World Drug Day - United Nations puts PREVENTION first. |
|
The United Nations International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, also known as World Drug Day, is observed on 26 June each year. It serves as a global effort to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drug abuse. The theme for this year’s campaign is “The evidence is clear: invest in prevention.” |

| Topic 2 – BREAKING NEWS! - AUSTRALIA’S HARM REDUCTION ONLY POLICY HAS FAILED US |
|
Constant Increases in Drug-Related Deaths Under Australia’s Harm Reduction Policy |
|
This new evidence-based document demonstrates that Australia’s introduction of Harm Reduction interventions under its ‘Harm Minimisation’ drug policy consistently correlated with sharp increases in drug related deaths from all illicit drug types. In the absence of viable con-founders this suggests a causal relationship between Harm Reduction policies and increased harm and mortality. The document then examines scientific studies and population statistics related to Harm Reduction’s existing interventions, examining how each contributes to rising mortality tolls in every jurisdiction that has sought to implement them. Each of these Harm Reduction interventions demonstrates a trackrecord of ineffectiveness while increasing drug use, harm and mortality.
