I watched it and I thought it was quite balanced and informative although I’d liked a bit more depth to the investigation of why people take it and how addictive it is and the problems of getting off it.
Personally it’s not my cup of tea (I prefer weed or alcohol) and it shows why it’s so important to break the link between soft and hard drugs to prevent the “gateway effect”.
One thing that did strike me as unjust was the swabbing of the public for drug testing then searching/arresting anyone found with traces of coke even if it was for personal use.
Surely if drug abuse is a problem then the people need educating or treatment for their drug use not criminalising as they are the victims at the end of the drug trail.
