If only someone could have seen this coming back in the 1970s. Oh wait, they did.

The Blake Palmer Report has an entire section devoted to this, but this is the most relevant bit.

Hi friends! It’s Mythbuster Monday 😀
We tried to keep the myth that the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (MoDA) is useful law to October, but it was too big to bust in 4 weeks.

Here’s the last episode, asking is MoDA stopping the misuse of drugs?

It isn’t. We can’t arrest our way out of drug harms.

Hi friends! It’s Mythbuster Wednesday 😀

October’s myth is that the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (MoDA) is useful legislation.

This week we’re looking at whether or not it was ever fit for purpose. This week was another 2-part post, and you can check part 1 out in our feed.

Hi friends! It's Mythbuster Monday 🙂

Last week we looked at why Aotearoa followed the UN into the drug war in the 1970’s.

This week we’re looking at the research on cannabis and LSD that informed their classification as Schedule 1.

So why were these substances thought to be so harmful?
