Hi there!
I recently finished my law thesis on a topic that may be of interest. Its title is 'Ecstasy and the Law: The Past, Present and Future of MDMA's Legal Regulation in the Australian Capital Territory'. The paper is 11,500 words long and comprises the following six sections:
Introduction: general discussion of MDMA, including its effects and association with the dance scene
Past: traces the legal history of MDMA to ascertain how MDMA became prohibited in the ACT
Present Theory: analyses the harm caused by MDMA to determine why the drug is prohibited
Present Practice: examination of ecstasy use in Australia, the ACT legislative framework and its enforcement by ACT Policing
Future: outlines two law reform proposals: 1) moving MDMA to Schedule 1 of the Drugs of Dependence Act 1989 (ACT), and 2) ACT Government Analytical Laboratories analysing ecstasy tablets and publicly disseminating the results
Conclusion: ah, conclusion type stuff
If you would like to read a copy, just follow these directions:
1) go to http://law.anu.edu.au/scripts/StaffList.asp
2) under 'Alphabetical Staff List', select Mark Nolan
3) under 'More About Me', select Papers by Honours students
4) download the PDF file.
Anyway, I think it is an interesting read – I interviewed people from ACT Policing, the ACT Government Analytical Laboratories and the National Drugs and Poisons Scheduling Committee, plus you will learn stuff like MDMA became illegal in the ACT on 1 April 1989!
Im more interested in giving bored people something to read than getting feedback, but if you would like to contact me please email [email protected].
Cheers,
Tim
