How Drugs Work – Cannabis

Well done to the BBC for its programme “How Drugs Work – Cannabis” tonight.  It was a well balanced and wide ranging examination of the subject.  Inevitably it looked at extreme cases and was sensational in parts but I thought it was fair.

I could pick at details.  It certainly didn’t provide any comparisons against other drugs.  It should have clarified how dramatically more dangerous is alcohol and with many fewer benefits but overall it was a good job, well done.

I am encouraged by this well produced treatment of the subject.  We may well be making progress!

Dermot’s X Factor Interviews

with one comment

He's Got It!

Dermot O’Leary’s interviews with David Cameron and Nick Clegg, tonight on BBC3, were incisive and inspiring in a way that none of the other debates or interviews have been.

Perhaps precisely because they were aimed at a 16-24 year old audience, these were forward looking, exciting programmes.  Look to your laurels, Paxman, Dimbleby, et al.

I think Dermot will tear Gordon Brown to pieces next week.
