A few months ago Mark Blacklock interviewed me for his forthcoming book on the illegal drugs industry. His idea was to explore the differences between the drugs trade and legitimate business practice. We were talking about the branding and marketing of drugs like ecstasy, heroin, cocaine, speed and cannabis. Aside from youthful experimentation in the milder of these substances, I didn't know much about drugs except what you read in the papers or see in movies and TV. It was therefore fascinating to hear about Mark's research.

The Financial Times has published an from us today, based on our previous Journal entry about Drugs. They called it Marketing's (Drugs) Heaven. If you are an FT Subscriber (and I recommend it), you can see the article by clicking on this link.
