Episode: The disaster of decriminalising drugs
Description: Drug advocates in NZ want a decriminalisation and health approach to drug use, yet ironically this approach does not appear to be favoured by many drug users. The number of drug users wanting to engage with the Government’s recommended health referral service is "abysmally low". We also only need to look overseas at recent examples of this policy approach to see what liberalised drug laws actually look like in reality.
