I'm a pharmacology student in Bristol and your name keeps on cropping up in lectures. I'd say that we are taught to support your viewpoint on drugs, which I personally support. However when the debates start, it's clear that many people still see drugs with as a completely dangerous area and will automatically write off any argument you pitch with a simple 'drugs are bad'. How do you propose we safely educate people about the dangers of drugs and do you think that it's possible that we will ever have a country where people have realistic views on individual drug dangers?
Also I read a paper a few days ago that involved the testing of LSD for therapeutic effects for the first time in years. I think it was as Swiss paper and is due to be published at some point this year. How close is the UK in joining in research using recreational drugs or are there any studies going on at the moment? If not, how and when can this happen?
