Last week Jemima spoke with Ruth Dreifuss, former President of Switzerland and current Chair of the Global Commission on Drug Policy.

Part one talks about what the global drug control stance is right now, the cultural difference between alcohol and drugs and what regulation is. Thank you to the New Zealand Drug Foundation for setting up this interview.
