Say Why To Drugs — Health
Say Why To Drugs

The internet is full of misinformation about recreational drugs – both legal and illegal. Dr Suzi Gage, a psychologist interested in understanding associations between substance use and mental health, tackles one substance per episode – providing information about what we know – the harms, but also potential benefits of these substances. There’s no hype, no spin and no judgement, just information. In the first series, she is in conversation with rapper Scroobius Pip.
