Think about it... no drug is made safer by prohibition - none! So we need to legalise all personal possession and legally regulate the supply.

The only reason that Corrections is starting an absurd trial of hospital hubs for incarcerated people sent to hospital is because Corrections continues to deny high-quality healthcare to incarcerated people inside prison. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Corrections to trial 'hospital hub', current model of hospital escorts 'no longer fit-for-purpose'
It comes after a prisoner was on the run for more than a week after escaping while in a hospital escort in Auckland.
