Sweeping changes to drug laws have been introduced in NSW over the past few years. This new edition of "Rough Deal" brings you up-to-date, providing clear, concise information on all the changes, how the laws operate and how they affect drug users. "Rough Deal" neither condemns nor condones drug use, but offers a practical guide to the drug laws of NSW. Written in clear, concise language, the book covers marijuana, heroin, ecstasy and speed and other drugs, and offers practical advice on a range of subjects, including: police powers; how to deal with arrest and police searches; drugs in share houses - who gets busted; court processes and consequences; how to get legal and medical help; and law reform.
