Gary Gannon on drug use, stimatisation & decriminalisation

Over the next 9 months, the Oireachtas Committee on Drugs Use, chaired by Gary Gannon, will meet as it finishes its final report into the Citizens’ Assembly on drug use. Some of the recommendations included within that final report were a whole government approach to drug use in Ireland, the need to involve drug users in shaping drug policy, and a recommendation that possession of drugs for personal use be decriminalised. Gary Gannon, Social Democrats TD for Dublin Central joins Anton to discuss.
