Over the last few days I’ve been blown away by the encouraging responses some MPs have sent to people who emailed them through the http://www.testsnotarrests.org/ page. Can you please email your MP too, and tell them why we need pill testing services now? Go to http://www.testsnotarrests.org/ and enter your postcode to start. The MPs who are getting on board with the campaign will need others in Parliament to support them if we’re going to have a chance of winning. That’s why getting in touch with your MP is so important now. The tragic death last week in Queensland of 27 year old Riki Stephens reminded me again of the fragility of life. Another drug related death of a young adult with his future ahead of him. And yet again a mother and a family devastated. Feelings I know far too well that haunt me daily. We have to stop these needless deaths, this cannot continue any longer. We have a moral and ethical obligation offer a better solution to ensure this does not happen again and again. Drug taking will never stop, we know this, but the prevention of a death can happen, if we all work together.
