'Jon Snow's negative experience on skunk is very understandable'
by Val Curran from on (#3MZE)
The scientist whose research led to Channel 4's The Cannabis Trial explains the point of the experiment
"Skunk stole Snow's soul", "Just say no, Snow" - these were just some of the headlines this week in response to Jon Snow's blogpost and video recounting his experience of smoking 'skunk'-type cannabis as part of a scientific study at University College London (UCL) which will be shown in a live TV programme - Drugs Live: Cannabis on Trial - on Channel 4 on March 3.
We wanted to answer some of the questions raised by people about the trial as well as providing some of the wider context about this study, plus its aims and rationale.
