Drugs

Episode 3 of 4

What if drugs were legal, 30 years from now? Kirsty Wark鈥檚 documentary from the future. With Geoffrey McGivern. From 2014.

Britain, in a desperate attempt to look fashionable, legalises marijuana.

Soon her majesty the Queen lights up the first ceremonial joint on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Now perpetually stoned, politicians legalise other drugs to perk us all up a bit. But soon a drug addled nation turns to beat poetry, henge sell-offs and injury claims to fund its habit.
