First off, shouldn't this be in ADD?
Second,
Third, drug users are not "innocent people". As a drug user you are a criminal, like it or not. It is the police's job to enforce the law, under pressure from the government and community at large. If you don't like what the police are doing, why don't you get involved with one of the harm reduction groups in Melbourne (there are a couple) and work towards change?
This is not a personal attack - I just get weary of people moaning about having to deal with the consequences of the actions they have chosen, in a society they choose to live in.
Second,
It's not a psychologist they have to see in the Drug Diversion program, it's a drug counsellor. The point of these sessions is to explain the dangers involved with drugs and address any issues that could cause problem use. You need to be aware that under this program, a second drug conviction will land you in the shit. It's about offering people one chance to reconsider.The police are trialing a new thing where the people dont get charged for possesion as long as they go to regular meetings with a psychologist, what difference would a psycologist do? i see a psycologist about once a month or two and i tell her about how i love to rave ocasionally and take a couple and she agree's with me about responsible drug use ect.. and belive that if you are smart with the substance it can be better than some legal drugs ect.... Police are doing more bad than good in this instance and its just not right.
