Looking Back - Last Year's Drug Policy

Episode 10 of Stop and Search, and we're here to have a look at what took place over the last year. Joining us:

- Ronnie Cowan - MP for Inverclyde
- Damien Gayle - Guardian journalist
- Sally Hayden - Freelance journalist, worked with Thomas Reuters Foundation, BBC and formerly with Vice

On February 29th 2016, LEAP UK officially launched in the Houses of Parliament with a press conference declaring the urgent need for drug law reform. We are now one year on and our guests, who joined us last year for our launch, join us again to have a good chat: What has gone on in 2016, and what we can expect moving forward?

We discuss the media, politics, lobbying, Facebook, social media, and also what the individual countries from the British isles are doing with their respective drug policies.
