NAPNT in the Media

The Network Against Prohibition (NAP) is a group dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and human rights of illicit drug users around the globe as well as the rights of those living in communities in developing countries who rely on opium, coca, cannabis etc for their survival! NAP originally formed in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia, however, an expansion is underway.

Bill pasting is not a crime!

DARWIN — Human-rights activist Gary Meyerhoff was found guilty in the Darwin Magistrates Court on October 28 bill pasting.


Meyerhoff was charged under a Darwin City Council by-law, which prohibits postering “without a permit”. The council has never issued such a permit and this was the first time that anyone has been charged with the offence.


The court gave Meyerhoff a 6-month, $600 good behaviour bond and he has been ordered to pay costs of $710. He will appeal the decision in the Supreme Court.
