People perturbed by this late last year may be interested (if you’ve not already heard it) by the interview with Colin Blakemore on this morning’s Today (scroll down to 0833; or forward to 2:39 on iPlayer), concerning the imminent appointment of David Nutt’s replacement as chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (which has since been confirmed as Les Iversen), and wonder whether the brief remains the same – particularly in light of Nutt’s establishment of an ‘Independent Council on Drug Harms’, with several ACMD members involved.
