High Time: Shifting Perspectives on Drug Policy in Australia

Join Chrissy Mack in an insightful conversation with Michael Lester and special guest Desmond Manderson, a law professor at the Australian National University. Delve into the transformation of Australia's drug policies from early colonial times to the 1980s, exploring the shift from repressive prohibition to a harm minimization approach. Based on Manderson's book, "High Time: How Australia Changed Its Mind About Illegal Drugs," this episode examines the evolving moral and political debates surrounding drug decriminalization and zero tolerance.
