Scare tactics have been shown to make drugs seem more alluring , increasing the risk of use, not decreasing it. Some may see it as a challenge, it can increase awareness of specific drugs, and sometimes young people are attracted to activities that are forbidden.
Most people who use methamphetamine don't look like the "Faces of Meth" images. The typical person who uses methamphetamine is in their 20s, and they use the powdered form of the drug commonly referred to as "speed" just once or twice a year.
There are multiple and very complex reasons why people's appearance might change when they use drugs over a long period.
Most of them aren't to do with the drug itself but are related to a range of other social factors, like poor diet, lack of access to health care and mental health problems that often predate the drug use. The belief that bugs are crawling under your skin can occur with methamphetamine-related psychosis. But it isn't very common, and people with other forms of psychosis, unrelated to drug use, also sometimes experience this delusion.
The role of cocaine use on male fertility still isn't clear. The link between drug use and crime isn't straightforward. Most people who use illicit drugs don't commit crimes, other than the drug use itself. Even among people who are dependent on drugs, risk of offending actually increases when they can't access treatment.
Treatment reduces criminal behavior. This includes a reduction in the costs to society related to crime. Even if you have a moral objection to drug use, making simplistic links between drug use and physical appearance, offending and other behaviors does nothing to stop people using. The campaign tagline, "have a conscience," suggests people who use drugs are morally corrupt. This makes the problem worse by increasing stigma.
Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to seeking help for drug problems. It delays help-seeking and increases the risk of dropout from treatment. Any public messaging about drugs should follow well-established guidelines for reporting on drug-related issues, including those from Mindframe and AOD Media Watch. The AFP's cocaine post tries to link individual drug use to large scale structural problems, like organized crime and the global drug trade.
This ignores the key underlying causes of organized crime, which are linked to the massive profits made possible by the prohibition of drugs. If drugs were regulated, it could significantly reduce the black market and generate revenue for more treatment. Drugs are more harmful because they're illegal. They're manufactured in backyard labs with no quality or dose control. This is why most experts support drug law reform, such as decriminalization or legalization.
Public support for legalization of drugs has been increasing, with more people now supporting the legalization of cannabis than opposing it. What works in preventing uptake is providing good factual information about drugs from an early age, including evidence-based school drug education. Harm reduction strategies, like needle and syringe programs and medically supervised injecting facilities , reduce harms from drug use.
Often these activities also reduce use, although this isn't their main aim. Treatment is effective in reducing drug use and harms.
There has been a significant shift in Australia and internationally to viewing drug use as a health and human rights issue rather than a criminal justice issue.
Law enforcement should stick to policing. Drug prevention and harm reduction are specialized areas of health science, and public health isn't served by the AFP acting outside its area of expertise.

On a few days each month, the ancient woodland is closed to the public so soldiers from Aldershot barracks can practise at the firing ranges. But for half a century Johnson, like many residents of Ash Vale, has been able to walk the ranges when the red flags are down, showing the soldiers are elsewhere.
Now Johnson and other campaigners say the MoD has become increasingly heavy-handed in enforcing what they call an illegal closure. Other dog walkers and cyclists continue to use the closed-off area in defiance of the closure, and Peter Corns of the Save Our Spaces campaign says several have been approached by MoD marshals telling people they could be arrested for trespassing.
My girls cycled on the range road to school. I learned to ride a motorbike. People fly kites, they go tobogganing in the winter. The scouts, the guides, the brownies — they use it too.
The allegation of criminal damage is galling for Johnson, since he has reported vandalism and fires he spotted while walking on the ranges.
