Meet Jim. A Project T21 medical cannabis patient. Profound real world evidence that is well worth a watch youtu.be/3cjB2Y44zF0 @Drug_Science

Andrew Neil set to quit GB News - The Telegraph - this is no surprise to me. My one experience of appearing on ⁦@GBNEWS⁩ was a shambolic affair. The writing appears to be on the wall for this channel apple.news/AkntNES8tSYy5j…

Our position at Drug Science is simple: any decisions about drugs and drug use need to follow the facts. Put bluntly, 50 years’ worth of prohibition has not only failed to deal with the UK’s drug problem, but in very many cases has made it worse inews.co.uk/opinion/priti-…

@shortthought @Lumawkin @GBNEWS I have no issue saying whether or not I use drugs. But I was led to believe that it was going to be a proper debate about drug policy (it wasn’t). This was an amateurish school boy question by the presenters making it personal rather than objective. Poor form

@BadcockDavid @Lumawkin @GBNEWS I dont think you should be. If you have, you have. If you havent, you havent. If you do, you do. Isn't the whole point of treating it as a health condition to recognise its prevalence & reform existing failure? Also, with others giving opinions, you could've asked them in return!

'Do you seriously think if drugs are decriminalised fewer people would use them?' A must watch fiery debate between Peter Hitchens and David Badcock, CEO of Drug Science, on whether drugs should be legalised in the UK.

@Paul__North @GBNEWS Thanks Paul. Was a tough interview for a number of reasons, especially that we could hardly hear the presenters asking questions! Would have liked more space to answer properly rather than constantly interrupted

@GBNEWS @BadcockDavid is a fantastic advocate, glad to see you taking on the debate mate. Peter is pretty rough to go against, less so for his stance/arguments and more his manor/approach which is pretty unsettling.

@Lumawkin @GBNEWS I didn’t avoid it, I literally couldn’t hear it. The answer is no, but the debate was not about me and very disappointed I was asked that question

@GBNEWS Interesting that Badcock avoided the question, did he ‘do’ drugs. Almost certainly, I would wager, he is a marijuana smoker
