On Drugs
Posted on 01/10/2013, 5:49 pm, by admin, under Courses.

Australians are world leaders in recreational drug use, but we seem chronically incapable of an honest appraisal of the issues this raises. The ‘war on drugs’ paradigm dominates the mainstream while drug-taking subcultures flourish at the margins: something has to give. Through an examination of the history, politics, law, science and culture of drugs and drug use in Australia, this course will stimulate open discussion of this controversial subject.

When: Thursdays from 10th of October 2013, 6.30 – 8pm
Venue: The Alderman (upstairs), 134 Lygon St E. Brunswick
Format: 45 minute presentation, 45 minute open conversation
Co-ordinator: Sebastian Prowse
