  • My new @scribepub book is released in the US in early November at a very interesting time around drug policy. There’s more public appetite now to discuss the failures of the drug war and possible alternatives. Eg legalised and regulated drugs. Kirkus Reviews is one of the biggest and known book reviewing outlets in the US so I’m pretty happy with this write-up (3.5 stars ⭐️ out of 5?)

  • Portrait of #Dutch friend @koen.wagenbuur in #BeitJala #Palestine. Near this location last week we saw #Israeli soldiers and bulldozers destroying a #Palestinian restaurant because #occupation.

  • My story in today’s @canberratimes, the newspaper in #Australia’s capital city, is my serious proposal for states and nations to establish a Ministry of Happiness to tackle loneliness and depression, epidemics in our societies. Furthermore, based on research in my just released @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’, countries would find responsible and legal ways to use psychedelic drugs, like #LSD, #ecstasy and #magicmushrooms, to help treat mental health issues amongst the population. I don’t mention this idea in my book, I wish I did!, but I discussed it with two prominent, progressive politicians in #Australia during my recent tour, @mehreenfaruqi and @fionapattenmp, and they loved it. I’m not the first person to ever suggest this idea but I think its time has come. Link to story in bio. #ministryofhappiness #drugs #legalise #regulation #warondrugs #drugwar #endthedrugwar
