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.

Conviction dismissed

A man has won an appeal in the Supreme Court against a conviction of hindering police.

Rob Inder-Smith was a member of a Darwin drug law reform group charged with a range of offences after a "Smoke-In" in October 2002.

Mr Inder-Smith was found guilty of hindering police and disorderly behaviour by Magistrate David Loadman.

But Justice David Angel this week dismissed the conviction.

Justice Angel said: "The tone of the way the magistrate addressed the appellant speaks volumes."
