Distinguishing between drugs that inherently make people violent, as opposed to others that create addicts who commit crimes to feed their habit, is something that should be considered in any prohibition of drugs discussion imho.
Btw, eg, tobacco does not make a person violent.

Morrison's unhinged attack on Christine Holgate was in (late) 2020, just fyi, btw, fwiw.

The vision of society where governments do nothing while 'neighbors' come together to fill the gap is a fundamentally conservative one. Strip away the anarchy-communist posturing and these guys sound exactly like Christian fundamentalists with their 'covenant communities.'

Peter Brent You're mixing up 2 different principles for indication of provisional measures. The risk of harm is different from the plausibility limb. You're describing the later as the former.

Peter Brent Nah, the 'irreparable harm' bit is just a 'what if?' I.e., if the whole claim turns out to be true, is there a risk that the thing we're being asked to stop will happen before we get around to deciding the case?

The 'plausibility' bit is a 'could it?', i.e. might it be true?

(CIJ_ICJ only has itself to blame for its poor terminology - that 'some of the rights claimed... are plausible'? - which was always going to be interpreted as a factual finding. Indeed, I still don't quite get what else it could be.)
