Yesterday, comedian Russell Brand gave evidence to British MPs about his battle with addiction during a renewal of the government’s current drugs policy. True to his style, Brand sported a sleeveless t-shirt that showed off his heavily tattooed arm, copious jewellery, cowboy boots and hat, and a long trenchcoat. His colourful speech included a description of how emotional and psychological difficulties led to him becoming addicted to drugs.

Brand called for “abstinence-based recovery” and suggested that addiction should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal matter. He also said the death of Amy Winehouse must not be “in vain” and should prompt a major overhaul of drugs policies.
