This week on Century of Lies: A Citizens’ Assembly On Drugs Use.

The government of the Republic of Ireland has established a Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use to “consider the legislative, policy and operational changes Ireland could make to significantly reduce the harmful impacts of illicit drugs on individuals, families, communities and wider Irish society.” The Assembly is holding a series of meetings at which members are being briefed by several experts from Ireland and other EU nations. On this edition of Century we hear portions of the Assembly’s June 24 meeting including presentations from Nicki Killeen, Project Manager for Emerging Drug Trends at the National Social Inclusion Office of the Republic of Ireland’s Health Service Executive, and Doctor Nuno Capaz, Director of the Portuguese Dissuasion Commission in Lisbon.
