I'm 'coming out' about drugs: NSW MP admits to drug use to bring 'honesty' to politics

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Every drug user facing the courts now have a defence provided by this druggie MP that they can use to get off!

If she is serious about saving lives she should dob in her drug supplier so he can be prosecuted and taken off the streets and jailed with her

Police have no option to lay charges. Druggies don't deserve to be our leaders. Is drug taking widespread in the Greens?

Here’s the real situation summary. Just don’t take those damn pills and you’ll stay alive and enjoy your event and get to live. But take those illegal pills, you risk death. There are consequences for your choices. NoPillTesting

It shows stupidity, not honesty.

So she is essentially promoting breaking the law. We expect nothing more from politicians these days as they all believe they are above the law anyway auspol pilltestingdoesntsolveproblem

Thank goodness, an honest, practical politician 👍👍👋👋

She's coming out before someone dobs her in.

Ok now we can break the law? So we get pill testing, so now we encourage people to take drugs to festivals? A pill is tested and then someone dies! Who is responsible? A joke indeed!

Also, if you think you will never be secretly filmed by someone when having your pills tested you are naive. You can be blackmailed for the illegal activity of possession of narcotics, even charged with a crime in the future, for example when you run for political office.

Drugs destroy your health. Fact. Perhaps they should be legal and regulated, sold with a warning, but untill they are pill testing would be an endorsement of contraband and normalisation of illegal activity. So make up your mind about legality.

The 'unwinnable war on drugs': introduce pill testing now.Peter_Fitz: How do we ask another festival-goer to die for want of instituting the very policy advocated by most of those on the front-line – the police, doctors, and emergency workers? Peter_Fitz Surely these festival goers are adults who take primary responsibility for own safety. Don’t take drugs, not hard Peter_Fitz Peter_Fitz is an A-grade dolt. Asking ‘pill poppers’ not to take drugs would be the best advice for everyone. You’d think that six deaths would give them at least a hint of the dangers. pilltesting Peter_Fitz Hmm Peter Fitz

Renewed push for pill testing after teen girl dies at music festival | Sky News AustraliaThe woman who died from a suspected drug overdose at a Sydney music festival at the weekend has been identified as 19-year-old Alex Ross-King. \n\nMs Ross-King was at FOMO music festival in Parramatta, Sydney’s west on Saturday, when she was rushed to Westmead Hospital and later died. \n\nThe teenager’s family is now calling on the New South Wales government to consider pill testing at music festivals. \n\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian has not supported the move however, saying ‘I worry pill testing could have the opposite effect’ and ‘we need to keep sending out the strongest message that taking these illicit drugs kills’. \n\n\n\n\n\n I've got a bizarre, simpler, more cost effective solution. Just make the drugs legal so the entire supply chain will be run by corporate citizens vested in the success of society, instead of criminal gangs vested in the destruction of society. Forget the testing and start arresting some of these drug user and pushes. Can someone please explain what pill testing is and how it would work at a music festival?

PM refuses to weigh in on pill testing debate | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to weigh in on the controversial pill testing debate despite another suspected drug overdose at a music festival in Sydney at the weekend. \n\nThe family of 19-year-old Alex Ross-King, who died after FOMO music festival, is putting pressure on the government to trial pill testing after the loss of their daughter on Saturday. \n\nMr Morrison says it is 'a very difficult issue and there are no simple answers', but has refused to comment on trials arguing it is a state, not federal government issue. \n\n\n\n WeAreTheLoopUK Moronscum is in denial. this girl would not have been the only one to take that pill, but her body reacted to it, dozens of others didnt.The point is pill testing cannot eliminate every persons chemistry makeup or what else they may have taken. Pill testing is not the answer, education & common sense is

What is pill testing?What is pill testing exactly - and why is it so controversial? Taxpayer support of drug dealers. Nothing more, nothing less. If the politicians don't listen to the chorus of people crying out for the decriminalisation of cannabis for therapeutic use, how can we even expect them to listen to the argument for pill testing? Adults should take responsibility for their actions. Why do we expect the government to hold people's hands if they choose to engage in risky behaviour.

The lie we keep spreading about pill testingWhen it comes to pill testing in Australia, opponents keep sharing a four-letter lie: That we’re wrongfully teaching young people drug use is “safe”. No the lie is that pill testing is promoting drug use... thats a load of crap If you want to subsidise drug use set up a non profit & pay for it yourself. Lol. The virtue signalling gumbies in a shark-like feeding frenzy. Pissing in the wind.

Pill-testing 'should be a bi-partisanship issue' | Sky News AustraliaNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is facing increasing pressure to reconsider her position on pill- testing after a 19-year-old girl died of a suspected overdose following a Sydney music festival.\n\nTed Noffs Foundation chief executive Matt Noffs told Sky News the topic 'should be a bi-partisanship issue' and allow Ms Berejiklian to focus on the upcoming state election.\n\n Image: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n mattnoffs Bi-partisan would be great. Liberal NSW and Labour VIC both say, don’t test pills! mattnoffs No wonder when they make drinking alcohol too expensive mattnoffs I never use illicit drugs and hence never overdosed. Would I use illicit drugs? 100% no. Why? Because there are risks. This should be a drug use re-education issue, not bipartisan issue. pilltesting
