The AFP are warning importers of the date rape drug known as 'bute' will face heavy penalties after more than 4,000 litres of the substance have been seized in Sydney since a change in legislation in March made it a border-controlled drug.
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.
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.
