Drugs event

DRUGS can be dangerous. But does banning them cause more harm than good?

Anyone’s Child: Families for Safer Drug Control’s first public event in Ceredigion is being held on Friday, 11 Octover, 7pm - 9pm at the Guildhall, Cardigan.

The meeting is to discuss how a new approach to drugs could better protect families and communities.

Speakers include Ben Lake, MP for Ceredigion; Neil Woods, Law Enforcement Action Partnership (ex undercover police officer working with drug gangs); Rob Barker Williams, training co-ordinator, Barod, and an expert on overdose prevention centres; Judith Yates, GP board member of International Doctors for Healthier Drug Policies; and Jane Slater, deputy CEO of Transform Drug Policy Foundation and campaign manager of Anyone’s Child.

Attendees will also hear from Raychel Lewis, whose former partner, Kevin, died of a drug overdose.

This will be followed by a question and answer discussion.

Anyone’s Child is a network of families whose lives have been devastated by drugs and are now campaigning for legally regulated drugs, supplied by doctors and pharmacists, in a bid to reduce the dangers posed by drugs and better protect young and vulnerable people.
