The New Zealand Law Commission has released the Misuse of Drug Act Review issues paper: Controlling and Regulating Drugs.

The full report, plus a really useful summary, can be viewed and downloaded at www.talklaw.co.nz/talkdrugs.

Submissions close 30 April 2010.

The Drug Foundation has produced a consultation toolkit to provide you with a range of relevant resources, and our analysis of the Commission's proposals. The toolkit will help you formulate your position and construct your submission to the Law Commission. www.drugfoundation.org.nz/moda/toolkit/about-this-toolkit.

The Drug Foundation has published its submission to the Law Commission's issues paper - "Controlling and Regulating Drugs" - on the reform of New Zealand’s drug laws. Go here to view our submission.

In this first video (10 minutes on YouTube), Law Commissioners Warren Young and Val Sim discuss their issues paper, and explain some of their key proposals.  You can also read the interview - Getting our Act together - here.

This second video is from the same interview, but is 25 minutes long (on Vimeo) and covers MODA in greater detail.
