I learned from other activists in the drug user movement how to talk like this, like how to say yeah, I'm an old school dope fiend and not to be ashamed of it or not to qualify it or not to say: oh, I'm working on recovering or whatever, just like I'm, just like this is, this is who I am fucking deal with it.
Ever wondered how personal stories can ignite social change? In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', Jay Shifman chats with Garth Mullins, the voice behind the Crackdown Podcast and a passionate advocate for drug users. Garth brings his unique blend of personal experience and activism to the table, offering insights into how drug laws impact lives and the critical need for clean drug sources.
His journey is not just about advocacy; it's about survival and the quest for dignity in a world that often marginalizes drug users. Garth also draws compelling connections between the struggles of drug users and other social movements, like those advocating for disability rights. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the lasting effects of colonization on indigenous communities, tying these historical injustices to current issues in drug policy.
This episode is a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation that promises to leave you thinking long after it ends.
