“Debates about drug policy are too often simplified into polarised arguments with little engagement between strident opposing views. The Battle of Ideas is a forum for a different kind of debate. The UK Drug Policy Commission is keen to be part of an event where preconceptions will be challenged and thoughtful arguments will be taken seriously.  Robust discussion between people who listen and seek to hear one another’s views is rare in drug policy and we are pleased to be supporting and participating in the event.”

Roger Howard, Chief Executive of the UK Drug Policy Commission
