Welcome to another Psych Matters podcast from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.

Hi, everyone.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks for listening.

The Council of Civil Liberties in NSW.

Now, I must admit, I'm surprised the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists are on board with it.

The same goes for the School of Law at Western Sydney.

In fact, the only organisation, according to the report I read, that put forward a submission definitively saying they're against the decriminalisation of drugs was the New South Wales Police Association.

360 Edge, the Australian Health Promotion Association, no surprises, Australian Psychedelic Society, the Sydney of Sydney Council, Directions Health Services, the Fair Treatment Reference Group, the Jambunna Institute at the University of Sydney, mind you, the same university that conducted the so-called independent report into this pill testing trial.

the Justice Reform Initiative, Legal Aid New South Wales, the Newtown State Electoral Council, the New South Wales Council of Civil Liberties.

I was surprised the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists are on board with legalising and decriminalising drugs.

The same goes for the School of Law at Western Sydney.

We always love getting your feedback or suggestions for further episodes, including volunteers interested in being a guest.
