Is Kronic Safe?
The Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs (“EACD”) is established under section 5AA of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 to advise the Minister of Health on drug classification issues. The EACD:
* conducts reviews of controlled drugs and other narcotic or psychotropic substances
* recommends to the Minister of Health whether and how such substances should be classified
* increases public awareness of its work by (for instance) releasing papers, reports and recommendations.
The EACD is chaired by Dr Ashley Bloomfield, the Ministry of Health’s Chief Advisor on Public Health. Other clinical members of the EACD include:
* Dr Keith Bedford, the Institute of Environmental Science and Research’s General Manager Forensics;
* Associate Professor Tim Maling, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Otago’s Wellington School of Medicine;
* Dr Geoffrey Robinson, Chief Medical Officer at the Capital and Coast District Health Board; and
* Professor Doug Sellman, Director of the National Addiction Centre at the University of Otago’s Christchurch School of Medicine.
The EACD carried out a Formal Assessment of two synthetic cannabinoids, JWH-018 and JWH-073, on 11 November 2010, and concluded that:
* Synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-018 and JWH-073 had only entered the market after another substance, CP 47,497, was banned on the basis that it was a chemical analogue to cannabis;
* There was sufficient evidence to suggest that the consumption of JWH-018 and JWH-073 do have the potential to cause harm, despite the lack of robust scientific data on the harm caused by JWH-018 and JWH-073 to date;
* Given the lack of detailed evidence of harm, it was appropriate to restrict, rather than ban, the sale and supply of JWH-018 and JWH-073; and
* JWH-018 and JWH-073 should therefore be made restricted substances, and should not be banned outright.
The Associate Health Minister, Hon Peter Dunne, accepted this recommendation on 30 March 2011, and it is expected that the required legislation will be in place by 2012
The EACD have therefore assessed synthetic cannabinoids as having a lower potential for harm than cannabis, codeine, or Ecstasy. Nevertheless, we think that the Government has made the right decision in moving to stop under-18s from being able to purchase products like Kronic. Kronic is not for under-18s and should never be supplied to under-18s. We are also in favour of controls on the packaging of synthetic cannabinoids and limits on where they can be sold. While the from synthetic cannabinoids are lower than many other substances, safety should always come first.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy
The Global Commission on Drug Policy aims to “bring to the international level an informed, science-based discussion about humane and effective ways to reduce the harm caused by drugs to people and societies.”
The Commission is made up of a range of public policy experts, including the former Presidents of Colombia, Brazil and Switzerland, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and entrepeneur Richard Branson. The Report concludes that the global war on drugs has failed. Drug use continues to increase each year, as do the resulting harms. The policies of the drug war fail to minimise drug use and drug-related harm, and create their own harms because such policies:
* Are extremely expensive and time-consuming;
* Criminalise people who do no harm to others;
* Impair public health policies aimed at reducing HIV/AIDS infection, overdoes fatalities and other harms associated with drug use.
Rather than continue with the failed drug war, the Global Commission recommends:
* Admitting that the drug war has failed, and considering what alternative policies can effectively reduce and control drug-related harm;
* Replacing the criminalisation of drug use with health and treatment services for those dependent on drugs;
* Experimenting with legal regulation of drugs, to reduce the power of organised crime and safeguard the health and security of citizens;
* Establishing more useful metrics to measure drug policy success – the evidence shows that the number of arrests and punishments is not a useful metric;
* Focussing the activities of law enforcement on organised crime and drug trafficking, rather than those who use and purchase drugs;
* Promoting alternative sentences for first-time and small scale drug dealers;
* Focussing on youth harm reduction policies that evidence shows actually work;
* Challenging stereotypes about drug use; and
* Offering a range of easily accessible options for treatment and care for drug dependence.
The Report also notes that decriminalisation initiatives, such as those in Portugal, Holland, Western Australia and some American states have not resulted in significant increases in drug use.
Kronic and our other products are all part of this move – offering safe, legal and monitor-able products are the way forward. Any other solution, as proven by the failed War on Drugs, is not working.
