Episode description
Instead of stemming the flow of narcotics, the global “war on drugs” has only managed to cause untold suffering to millions of people across the world. The voice of communities involved in illicit cultivation have long been excluded from national and international policymaking platforms.

Guests:
Martin Jelsma: Director Drugs & Democracy programme, TNI.
