Bute is a shining example of the failures of drug policy. GHB is, aside from having a low therapeutic index and being contraindicated with alcohol, not very dangerous as far as drugs go. In a better context, especially one in which concentrations were known and manufacture required the addition of say a dye and a bitterant to help prevent date rape it would have been much less harmful.

Bute (which is metabolised to ghb) is diverted from industrial sources, which increases risk of contam. The metabolic delay causes people to redose and then OD, and it’s harder on the body because of liver metabolism. Because of it’s valid use in industry in large quantities it’s almost impossible to control.

Yay, good work. Such winning. Saving so many lives. I love ODs and organised crime.

exhausting your vote might be bad depending on your seat.

Also be careful with some minors. There are a lot that are essentially just the LNP or worse.

Yeah I’ve seen him called that and I enjoy copying it. To be fair to him, which is easy since there’s so little to defend, he’s not a Nazi. He is a racist fascist though, so we’re wading into the phylogeny of idiot ideologies for evil morons to mark out the differences.

Dirty to pull this out now. If it works, if there really is a smoking gun then this is masterful politicking. If it backfires it’ll be another classic second term labor foot-gun.

The LNP under “90s Queensland police are too kind and understanding to aboriginal kids” kipfler can’t be handed the reigns of government. Australia will take decades to recover if it ever does.
