Fantastic to speak with @abcmelbourne on the Conversation Hour today. A detailed discussion on the barriers to opioid dependence treatment, incl. (not limited to) stigma. Fantastic to have voices of lived experience strongly represented. @MonashAddiction https://t.co/RwnrQaymWg

[Julian Buchanan, PhD @julianbuchanan]

Reform organisations need to stop implying:

1. Drug use is a health issue
2. Addiction is the key issue
3. We should regulate to reduce the harm from drugs

They all collude with prohibitionist propaganda about 'drugs'
