We have a range of stories to discuss- local, national, and international. The major news nationally has been the sudden ban on single-use, disposable vapes on May 2by the federal government. It plans to work with state and territory governments to end the sale of e-cigarettes and stamp out the black market in illegal vaping. Canberrans could be fined up to $32,000 or a 2-year jail sentence for possession of non-prescription e-cigarettes. We will discuss the warning given in writing by the National Peak Body on January 16 and the likely consequences of the prohibition model being applied to yet another substance. Why should this outcome prove to any different?

The Victorian Greens will introduce changes to a Labor government bill in a push to make it easier to open more safe injecting rooms and allow greater access to the “most vulnerable and marginalised” drug users.

In international news, comes a piece telling us that Israel is now the world’s #1 opioid consumer per capita.

A recent UK You Gov poll found that only 6% think authorities in Britain are winning the “war on drugs”, with 41% thinking authorities are “losing strongly”.

The show is co-presented by Geoff Ward and Marion Watson.
