Generally, whenever a Citizens’ Assembly has an item on its agenda that deals with technically complex issues, the Secretariat will prepare a paper with background information for members to read ahead of the meeting. For the Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use, the session planned for Sunday 3rd September 2023 to look at legislative issues is one of the more technically-challenging sessions that the members will experience. To support the Assembly, the session has been designed as a workshop, which provides members with more time than usual to engage in Questions and Answers with a panel of experts, and allows additional time for roundtable discussions, and opportunity to provide feedback to the Secretariat.
