Committee on Drugs Use
Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Tom Murray:
Absolutely. We need to be working on education, harm reduction and reintegration for patients, because that is what they are, going through the addiction services. All these things are important. I believe this is the case in respect of removing the stigma as well and improving the chances of people being re-employed. There is a whole tranche of social-economic and social-educational work that must also be done.
