NSW Government to Remove “Trial Status” from Kings Cross Injecting Centre

October 7, 2010

The NSW Government will remove the “trial status” of the Medically Supervised Injecting Centre and formalise the facility.

As a trial, it has been subject to extensive evaluations and over the last nine years, it has been the subject of a number of independent evaluations, including by BOCSAR, KPMG, UNSW and SAHA International.

    It’s about time they stopped playing politics over this issue, of course this helps to keep people alive, and also gives them the opportunity to talk to someone if they want to deal with their addiction. That’s called harm minimisation.

    Now about cannabis, you know the plant that has now been proved to actually CURE cancer, not just treat the symptoms, it also happens to actually cure a number of other things and treats those it does not cure better than big pharmaceuticals can, perhaps that’s the reason that we still cannot grow the most useful plant on the planet.

    Pharmaceutical companies would loose market share
    Cotton would certainly loose it’s monopoly in the market, forestry too would take a pounding, and cement would disappear from our lives.

    $$$$$$$ and of course back room deals for their future income by politicians to keep that status quo.

In addition to criminalizing HIV transmission, many countries impose criminal sanctions for same-sex sex, commercial sex and drug injection. Such laws constitute major barriers to reaching key populations with HIV services. Those behaviours should be decriminalized, and people addicted to drugs should receive health services for the treatment of their addiction’.

For example, in Eastern Europe, people who inject drugs represent more than 80 per cent of all people living with HIV but account for less than 25 per cent of those receiving antiretroviral treatment.
