Let Australians know new, real harms of cannabis
Please support the Taskforce Go Fund Me
New scientific studies published in some of the world’s best medical journals (see link below for the studies) are showing that cannabis is likely causal in twice as many cancers as tobacco, as well as most birth defects. Massive population studies are now confirming what decades of laboratory research into the physiological effects of cannabis had already discovered. Yet the media mostly refuses to cover press releases from drug prevention organisations drawing attention to these studies, leaving medicinal and recreational cannabis users in the dark about the damage it is doing. Its damage to mental health is likewise being largely ignored by the media. DFA request your support for this very important gofundme cause.

Drug Free Australia will soon offer new suite of health education modules, with a focus on Drug Use Prevention. ‘Save Your Brain’ (SYB) focuses age-appropriate resources from Year 5, through Middle School and into the Senior Secondary school level. In particular, it focusses on the impact of alcohol and other drugs on the brain. It also looks at protective factors to give teens the 'tools' to be able to negotiate anti-social requests in peer pressure situations.
