Queensland are set to introduce a three-strike policy for illicit drug consumption under proposed law reform.
Under the new law, Queensland Police will need to issue a warning to anyone caught possessing illicit substances for the first time.
The warning applies to all drugs including ice and heroin.
If the person is caught a second and third time, police are obligated to provide the person with an opportunity to participate in mandatory drug diversion program.
