CONTACT:James Scott-Brown
DESCRIPTION:The regulation of drugs – including alcohol and tobacco – 
 is an issue of pressing importance due to the increasing health care costs
  associated with their use and the new sorts of synthetic agents being dev
 eloped and sold over the internet.\n\nMy talk will reflect on these issues
  in the light of my ten years experience on the governments Advisory Counc
 il on the Misuse of Drugs from which I was sacked about a year ago. I shal
 l present new analyses that compare the harms of drugs and alcohol using m
 ore sophisticated methodology and challenge many of the current misconcept
 ions about drugs – their harms – and how to deal with them.
