It's a good idea to think in advance about the agenda, facilitation and decision making processes you could use in the meeting, especially when organising a large public meeting, or one dealing with difficult issues or conflict. It may be useful to prepare a rough agenda and think about the order in which to proceed.

- We must always remember some people use speed, meth or ice periodically and do not necessarily get hooked & suffer all the serious issues of addicts.
We risk alienating this section of society who see us only as controlling, overbearing and negative towards there choice of recreational drug.

3. Debating decriminalization of methamphetamines so all sides are heard equally.
If we are only anti meth/ice and not preventing a balanced, scientific and highly objective view we risk alienating those who would consider us close minded.
Although a lot of us are not comfortable with decriminalization as a way of reducing ice/meth problem we agree that Portugal has begun to show very favourable signs in dealing with there own hard drug problems....
