Episode description

Many decades ago, many countries around the world, including Malaysia, declared drug abuse the biggest threat and menace to society. The solution was to start a war on drugs, as US President Nixon had pushed for. But what if the war on drugs has been a complete and catastrophic failure? On this episode, we discuss why the war on drugs has been a failure and why we should decriminalise drugs for personal use.
