From Mellow to Mental is presented by Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow and features interviews with drug users and medical experts on both sides of the debate.
"I'd forgotten how much more intimate people were prepared to be about their personal experiences when they don't have a camera pointing at them. It was refreshing for me, and an exciting pointer to what we could achieve in radio and podcasting," he said.
"This is the first piece of radio I've been commissioned to make since 1976."
Subscribers will also receive a weekly podcast of Jon Snow's Snowmail report, usually broadcast on More4.
