I read this while enjoying a glass of the date rape drug known as Shiraz which some users consume to the point of death.

You could power a city on my eyerolls. My message to the community is to demand reasonable and measured reporting on drugs, and sensible drug policy with a harm minimisation orientation.

Or you know, let's get hysterical about people taking a ghb prodrug that's harder to dose and more likely to be contaminated because it's easier to import than GHB. That'll keep the kids safe.

What are you talking about? Seriously, I don't understand a lot of your point

describing a drug (well a prodrug in this case) as a date rape drug is pointless fearmongering. Uncritically repeating the cop without discussing why this is happening is just distributing propaganda from an institution that justifies a large part of its budget by creating these problems.
