A FOOT IN THE DOOR - A New Approach to Drugs in New Zealand
Channel: Drugreporter
Date: 2014-05-08

The Drugreporter visited New Zealand to film about the innovative regulation of legal highs or "new psychoactive substances". For more info visit: http://drogriporter.hu/en/newzealand

The Star Trust, an Auckland-based NGO, invited us to an international conference where local and international experts discussed New
Zealand's regulation of new drugs. The use of legal highs began to increase in New Zealand at the end of the 90s, much earlier than in Europe. A few days after the government banned a substance, a new drug would appear on the market. In 2013, the government, realizing that prohibition doesn't work, passed a law that places the burden of proof on drug distributors, to provide
evidence that their product poses a low risk to public health.
