The Canberra Initiative
A Creative Approach to Drug Law Reform in the ACT
Creating and displaying art, film and multimedia streams to educate Canberrans about the discrimination, hypocrisy, moral panic and lies
that underpin not only our current drug laws, but all other prohibition-based policies
ever introduced throughout world history.
Re-humanising Canberra's drug users by publically breaking down the social stigma attached to drug use and showcasing the contributions to society made by famous "drug abusers".
Highlighting the research done elsewhere that proves the costly failure of the "War on Drugs" and the successes of cheaper, better and more socially responsible policies and policy trials from around the world.
and eventually...
Demanding the replacement of the "War on Drugs" with non-discriminatory, non-punitive, public health-based drug policy in the ACT.
Most people shouldn't take drugs
But some people always will
...they always have done!
