There was a tough – but incredibly important – watch on BBC Three on Tuesday night. We saw Professor Green present a documentary tackling the issue of homelessness in the UK.
He visited Manchester first, where we met Luke, 20. He’s been living on the streets on and off for five years. And we found out almost half of homeless people end up on the streets under age of 21.
On the streets, young people are exposed to prostitution, crime and drugs. But drugs were the main focus of Luke’s struggle – particularly “spice”, a legal high. Luke admitted to Professor Green that it’s “not nice” – but it’s a coping mechanism.
It was explained how “spice” is a a synthetic cannabis. But Professor Green was shocked by its effects, describing how it seemed like a much harder drug. When Luke was “out of it” for ten minutes, the singer described it as “like watching someone slip out on heroin”.
