Episode 5: The Failure of the War on Drugs

­

Has the war on drugs reached a point beyond the control of law enforcement? We unpack provocative insights from Neil Woods, a former undercover operative and current board member of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP). Drawing on his time spent infiltrating the drug trade by befriending convicted drug users, Woods reflects on the realities of drug enforcement on the ground. He discusses the motives behind drug use and how these experiences shape the ongoing conversation surrounding the decriminalisation of drug use and possession.
