by Sophie McKeand
Poet Sophie McKeand describes what prompted her to sell her possessions and head to the continent in a van. She discusses with fellow left-wing libertarian Plaid Cymru Police Commissioner Arfon Jones what this philosophy could mean in the context of drug reform, detailing the practicalities of decriminalisation and regulation of illegal substances, and how this could reduce the suffering caused by the ‘war on drugs’.
