You may recall having your errors pointed out in public forums more than once before. <br /><br />Opposition to “legalisation” (whatever the survey respondents think that means) does not equate to opposition to Harm Reduction strategies. <br /><br />67% of Australians support NSEP, <br /><br />~68% support methadone programs, <br /><br />50% support medically supervised injecting rooms, <br /><br />and 1/3 of Aussies (32.9%) support heroin prescription;<br /><br />If 1/3 of Australians support heroin prescription, that means that they support LEGALISED, regulated control of heroin. <br /><br />Contrary to your “either-or” analysis, people don’t have to find heroin use “socially acceptable” to approve of pragmatic ways to reduce the harms associated with that use... <br /> <br />I am happy to post the link to this data, so readers can confirm the truth of my assertions. (For some reason. dear readers, Mr Christian rarely does so). <br /><br />2007 NHS;<br />http://www.aihw.gov.au/publications/phe/ndshs07-fr/ndshs07-fr-c04.pdf<br /><br /><br />The fact that in 2007 2/3rds of Aussies ‘neither supported nor opposed', ‘opposed’ or ‘strongly opposed’ heroin prescription, that 50% were indifferent to or opposed to MSICs, and that 1/3rd were indifferent to or opposed to NSEP, does not mean that these people therefore approve of your extreme fringe position or support (or have even heard of) DFA. <br /><br />I’d suggest that this survey is clear evidence that most Australians have a considerably more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of drug policy than your black-and-white absolutism allows. <br /><br />In my opinion your recidivist misrepresentation of these statistics is clear evidence that you are either consciously trying to mislead people, or else that you are incapable of assimilating information that contradicts your preconceptions. <br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Paul.<br /><br />Paul Dessauer,<br />Outreach Coordinator, WASUA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-58292095607790735262011-03-09T17:09:23.379+11:002011-03-09T17:09:23.379+11:00From 2007 Household survey - detailed findings p.9...From 2007 Household survey - detailed findings p.96.<br />http://www.aihw.gov.au/publications/phe/ndshs07-df/ndshs07-df.pdf<br /><br /><br />Summary<br />>>There was very little support for the legalisation of illicit drugs, although ***around one-fifth*** of Australians supported the legalisation of marijuana. On the other hand, around two-fifths supported possession of marijuana being a criminal offence. The most favoured single action for someone found in possession of illicit drugs was referral to treatment or education. With the exception of males aged 20–29 years, the majority of people supported increased penalties for the sale or supply of illicit drugs.<<<br /><br /><br />Key findings - Support for legalisation of illicit drugs<br />>>With few exceptions across age and sex groups, less than ***10%*** of Australians supported the legalisation of heroin, meth/amphetamine, cocaine or ecstasy.<br /><br /><br />Marijuana had ***two to three times*** the support, ranging between 12.0% (males: 11.9%, females: 12.1%) for those aged 60 years or older and 30.1% (males: 35.3%, females: 24.9%) for those aged 20–29 years (Table 19.1).<<<br /><br /><br />~ And:<br /><br /><br />Use of marijuana/cannabis if legalised<br />>>***The vast majority (85.1%) of Australians would not use marijuana even if it was legal and available***. Among recent users, however, 78.0% would use it ***about as often as they do now***, and a further 7.1% would use it more often.<<<br /><br /><br />~ Support for cannabis legalisation - 14 years and older = 21.2%.<br /><br /><br />~ Support for heroin legalisation = 5.2% See p. 97<br /><br /><br />~ Support for trial = 32.9% See p. 94<br />Support for Trial of Rx Heroin is 32.9% up from 25.8%. Injecting rooms up almost 10% - 39.8 - 49.9%.**<<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-14330392854741493222011-03-07T11:56:54.662+11:002011-03-07T11:56:54.662+11:00Hey Gary,

But you keep on going, relentless, like a spoilt child. <br /><br />The 2007 Illicit Drug Strategy Household Survey is not an indicator of what the experts think. It's what an ignorant public -who have been bombarded with propaganda their whole lives- think is logical. The public think that legalising drugs means a free for all supply at corner stores and 7-11. But you know this and it's just indicative of how deceitful you are. You can twist it any way you want but those who spend their lives studying the subject disagree with you. i.e. Drug experts, medical professionals, economists, social researchers, AOD industry workers etc. <br /><br />It's interesting that with the internet giving more people access to real information that support for legalising drugs is increasing. This is simply because they are discovering what a failure drug prohibition has been and that the alternatives are not like what hysterical politicians and anti-drug nutters have told them. The days are numbered for sleazy people like you who play on the ignorance and fear of the public.<br /><br />The majority of Australians believe in a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy so using your logic, you should support abortion. The majority of Australians believe that gays should be allowed to legally marry. Again, you should also support this. So, why don't you?<br /><br />Gary, you're a bucket head!Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331435244789111209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-42263334272643665652011-03-06T21:37:57.743+11:002011-03-06T21:37:57.743+11:00Terry

As per the 2007 Illicit Drug Strategy Household Survey which interviewed 25,000 Australians, 95% were against the legalisation of cocaine, heroin and amphetamines, something which you apparently support. So when you express such derision of those of us working in concert with what Australians want, we know we are getting it right.Gary Christiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-86603330613981647682011-03-04T13:33:47.880+11:002011-03-04T13:33:47.880+11:00Thanks Terry
