We speak about the Drugs of Dependence Amendment Bill in the ACT which removes criminal penalties for the possession of small quantities of illicit drugs such as methamphetamine, heroin, MDMA, psilocybin and LSD.

From Green Left we have a story about the disturbing trend in NSW of police subjecting children as young as 12 to strip searches, many of which are conducted illegally.

We look at research into replacement pharmacotherapies for people with methamphetamine dependence, in particular methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine.

From overseas, We report on the harms suffered by favela communities in Brazil caught in the crossfire between police and organised crime.

And the move in American cities (in this case San Francisco) to charge dealers and suppliers of fentanyl with homicide when their customers die of overdose.

We also cover a story about the production of a documentary into the extremely damaging war on (alleged) drug users waged in the Philippines by former President Duterte, and the dangers faced by documentary makers who speak truth to power in a dictatorship.

Presented by Dave Baxter and Marion Watson.
