Billions are spent policing and punishing those who use or sell many types of drugs. So why is drug use still on the rise and what should we do about it?

Joining us is Niamh Eastwood, Executive Director of the charity Release; George McBride, Crime and Justice Policy Director of Volteface; Professor Neil McKeganey is the founding director of the Centre for Drug Misuse Research; Thorrun Govind, Pharmacist.

Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
