From homegrown cannabis on your balcony to heroin on the streets and cocaine in the clubs... drugs are pretty much everywhere in Berlin. Our Drugs Issue tackled them from every angle and now we're taking it live. Join us Wed, May 29 at Kaffee Burger.

Our popular May issue tackled drugs in Berlin from virtually every angle with interviews with a dealer, a cop and the city’s “drug commissioner”, plus an expat’s first-hand account of Berlin’s junkie scene.
