In this episode of The People’s Project with David Limbrick MP and Corrine from Smoke Dreams:

IS CANNABIS GOOD OR BAD?
The conservative view is that cannabis is not only harmful, it’s immoral and ‘ILLEGAL!’. This has been the dominant message in policing, media and politics for nearly 100 years. The progressive view is that it’s harmless and to be celebrated, endorsed and embraced by all. But is it as simple as either side makes out?

THE WAR ON DRUGS
When governments spend billions of dollars on drug harm policies, how much do you think actually goes towards harm minimisation, prevention and treatment, as opposed to brute enforcement?

LEGALISING CANNABIS IN AUSTRALIA

We explore the famous Portugal case study where all drugs were decriminalised 20 years ago. Did it work? What about in Australia – how are we tracking and can we stop the global trend towards decriminalisation and legalisation? This is after the ACT just announced it will be legal to possess drugs like cocaine, heroin and speed.
