What Do We Mean By 'Decriminalisation' or 'Legalisation' of Drugs?

This Cracks in the Ice webinar was held on Friday March 15th 2024 and provided attendees with information about:
1. Different models of drug decriminalisation and legalisation implemented across the world.
2. How key features of each model provide widely divergent outcomes for people who use drugs.
3. How an understanding of different models should inform law reform advocacy efforts locally.
This information is relevant to people who use drugs, health workers, people interested in drug policy, and the general Australian community.
This webinar was presented by Jarryd Bartle, an Associate Lecturer within Criminology and Justice Studies at RMIT University. A former criminal lawyer and drug policy consultant, Jarryd specialises in legal issues relating to illicit drugs and sexuality, including the limits of consent under the criminal law.
