This week, we’re looking at France’s war on drugs. Reports suggest that more illegal drugs are consumed in the country than anywhere else in Europe.

We examine whether it’s working or simply pushing drug use underground. And to talk more about drug use, as well as drug trafficking to France, we speak to Claire Andrieux, the author of a new book focusing on these issues.
