THE DEBATE ‘DRUGS POLICY: TOUGH OR TENDER?’ @ HLSI
Mar 5 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

The third Highgate Debate to be held at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution tackles the issue

of current drugs policy. Our two prominent speakers take opposing positions, roughly equating

to a ‘tender’ or a ‘tough’ approach to users. Molly Meacher will argue for a more liberal drugs

policy, while Will Blair will oppose any change. As with previous debates, they will be supported

by seconders from local 6th forms. Members of the audience will then be invited to make

contributions from the floor. The Debates will be free and open to the general public, as well as

HLSI members.
