Still Ambitious For Recovery: The UK’s Hidden Illegal Drug Addiction Crisis

The UK has a hidden crisis of illegal drug addiction, and it is getting worse. Last year, more people lost their lives to drug poisonings than ever before. As part of the Centre for Social Justice’s new report – Still Ambitious For Recovery – we scouted the world for solutions to this crisis, and the evidence points clearly against liberalisation.

In this podcast, Deputy Policy Director Sophia Worringer looks at the silent epidemic taking over the UK– the state of illegal drug use, the lessons we can learn from abroad, and how policymakers should reverse the worrying domestic trends we’re seeing.
