The talk covered a variety of related issues, from the representation of drugs in the music industry, to the classifications of different drugs and the problem of over medication in society; there was also a focus on the dangers of alcohol. Bob offered the students useful guidance for navigating the widespread availability of drugs at university. The talk also covered the UK’s laws and punishments in relation to drugs and the different legal approaches to drug use around the world. Bob’s talk was very informative and thought-provoking.
