Ending the criminal penalties for minor possession offences or, you know, ending the criminalisation of people who use drugs, and then maybe, if there's time to be explicit, that that is different from legalisation, they're both important and they obviously they're linked and overlapping, but they're not the same. So we need to be clear that they're not the same.
Ever wondered why the War on Drugs seems never-ending? In this eye-opening episode of 'What's the Crack', Elle Wadsworth sits down with Steve Rolles, Senior Policy Analyst from the Transform Drug Policy Foundation, to unpack the intricacies of UK drug policy. They dive into the history of drug legislation, discuss why decriminalisation and legalisation aren't the same thing, and explore how different countries approach cannabis regulation.
Rolles shares his hands-on experience working with the Canadian government on their cannabis laws, offering a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't. If you're curious about the real impact of drug policies and want to understand the complexities behind the headlines, this episode is a must-listen.
