#BREAKING: BC Supreme Court Justice Catherine Murray has ruled that banning people from possessing drugs for trafficking purposes is unconstitutional, claiming such laws "discriminate" against drug users and violate their right to "life, liberty, and the security of person."

Want to see your brain on psilocybin? here it is! Looks a lot like it locks your brain onto whatever you are doing (meditation, music, movie), something that recreational user would definitely agree with. This was only in healthy controls with no past drug use. I'd be interested to see what it looks like in people with a substance or alcohol or tobacco use disorder. There is data in rodents showing it may be very different. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Wie kent er Nederlandse artiesten of atleten die uitkomen voor hun cannabis consumptie en hun platform gebruiken om te pleiten voor legalisering?
For seven years, artists, athletes, advocates, and allies have used their platforms to stand with people impacted by cannabis incarceration. From Rebelution and Eric Rachmany raising funds, to Calvin Johnson, Willie Nelson, Dwyane Wade, and Melissa Etheridge lending their voices to the movement, their support has helped carry this fight further. We’re grateful for every person who has stood beside us and we’ll keep going until the last cannabis prisoner comes home.

2.5 million. That's how many young Europeans used cocaine last year. After cannabis, cocaine remains the most commonly used illicit drug in Europe. And in several countries, recent surveys point to rising use among young adults. 👉 See the latest data: euda.europa.eu/publications/…

De afschuwelijke gebeurtenissen in #Overasselt zijn een schoolvoorbeeld van toenemende criminaliteit als gevolg van de handhaving van het drugsverbod. Er is geen gram minder cocaïne verkocht en de consumptiecijfers staan op record hoogte. #bollejos
