We need to tackle the folly and futility of drug prohibition, in which we have created an irrational and unscientific bifurcation of drugs, an archaic system that favors, promotes and culturally embeds the use of some drugs, while fiercely policing, prohibiting and punishing the use of other drugs.
Imagine thinking that legalising cannabis is the ultimate solution to drug prohibition. But what if it’s just another piece in a flawed puzzle? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Making Sense of Drugs', Julian Buchanan digs into the complexities of drug policies and the global reform movement. With his extensive background in criminology and human rights, Buchanan doesn’t just scratch the surface.
He questions whether legalising cannabis truly paves the way for broader drug reform or simply reinforces outdated, unscientific distinctions between substances. Is the United States Government part of the problem, perpetuating these flawed policies? Buchanan believes so. He argues for a more radical approach: the complete decriminalisation and regulation of all drugs. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone eager to understand the intricate dynamics of drug legislation and its far-reaching impacts.
Whether you’re an advocate for drug reform or just curious about the subject, Buchanan’s insights will challenge your preconceptions and spark meaningful reflection.
