The BBC is defending a reporter that took drugs live on one of their television programs.On the program, reporter Nicky Taylor allowed herself to be injected with THC, a chemical component of cannabis. She is also seen smoking joints in Amsterdam. The program, called Should I Smoke Dope?, is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC3 later this year.
Taylor has done previous investigations aimed at younger viewers about the negative effects of certain behaviors, such as plastic surgery and binge drinking. In each program, she has subjected herself to the behavior in question. One could argue that she's using the opportunity for free booze, drugs and plastic surgery.
