Fantastic paper on cannabis regulation. Australia's approach to cannabis policy is not only outdated and ineffective, but creates further harms than the use of cannabis itself. It's time to move on from the antiquated 'war on drugs' rhetoric and rethink our approach.
Australia’s current policy approach to cannabis is not working. Our new discussion paper reveals the urgent need for reform to reduce community harms – with a regulated, adult-use cannabis market. Find out more: https://t.co/gG5POJsoG5

Gus Cooke took illegal anabolic steroids for more than a decade and he doesn't recommend their use. A new drug-checking trial aims to minimise harm among steroid users.

After last weekend's England heartache, I have been thinking a lot about this chapter by @jackstblack: Desire, Drive and the Melancholy of English Football ‘It’s (not) Coming Home' ( https://t.co/PgkJZW8JPL). Worth a read if you're feeling the melancholia very keenly this week!
