The Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation has organised a free public lecture by Dr Norm Stamper on Tuesday 6 October at the Parliament of NSW.

Dr Stamper, is coming to Australia in October as a representative of the USA organisation LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition).

Dr Stamper is a proponent of drug law reform and argues that the US “war on drugs” simply has not worked.  He believes that the billions of dollars being wasted on the justice system could be better spent on improving health and social interventions to ameliorate drug problems.

Dr Stamper is the author of “Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing”.

Come along to this free public lecture to hear what Dr Stamper has to say.

When: 12.30pm to 1.30pm, Tuesday 6 October

Where: The Theatrette, Parliament of NSW, Macquarie Street. Sydney.
