Talk of the Times: Should we decriminalise drugs in Canberra?

This week on Talk of the Times, it's all about drugs.

Is it legalisation by any other name? Do we want it?

Hosts Alex Crowe and Steve Evans are joined by Labor MLA Michael Pettersson and The Canberra Times assembly reporter Daniella White.

Join the conversation this week on Talk of the Times through Spotify.
