In recent years there have been significant changes in global drug policy. This article considers these developments. I provide a brief introduction to the history of global drug policy, followed by an overview of the current state of play, both in Australia and abroad. Inspired by a recent injunction by New South Wales Deputy Coroner Harriet Grahame to think differently about drug problems, I then consider whether we are asking the right questions in current debates about the future direction of drug policy, and whether our policy priorities need to change.

毒品政策的过去、现在和未来：澳大利亚现在应该走向何方？

近年来，全球毒品政策发生了重大变化。本文考虑了这些发展。我简要介绍了全球毒品政策的历史，然后概述了澳大利亚和国外的当前状况。受到新南威尔士州副验尸官 Harriet Grahame 最近关于毒品问题的不同思考的禁令的启发，我然后考虑我们是否在当前关于毒品政策未来方向的辩论中提出了正确的问题，以及我们的政策优先事项是否需要改变。
