The party advocates replacing the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and ancillary legislation with an act which provides for an effective strategy of legalisation, regulation and control.
We call for a less punitive and more ‘harm reducing’ approach to drugs use. Criminalisation of those afflicted with drugs dependency can have a detrimental impact, alienating people from contributing to society.
We call for the establishment of an independent multi-agency co-ordinating body to oversee policy development and implementation in relation to the supply and control of drugs.
We support the taxation of drugs and redirection of criminal justice expenditure to education and treatment services and the dissemination of accurate and truthful information to minimise substance-related harm to individuals and communities.
We believe that these measures will eliminate the criminal marketplace and cause a reduction in drugs related crime and violence whilst aiding those most in need of rehabilitation.
