Reevaluating Addiction: Mike and Nat Discuss 'Drug Use for Grown-Ups'

Drug use is not the problem. It's the policies that are the problem.
Mike and Nat are back with a bang, diving headfirst into Dr. Carl Hart's provocative book, 'Drug Use for Grown-Ups'. This episode is not your typical recovery chat; it's a bold exploration of the idea that responsible drug use can coexist with a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Hart's controversial stance on recreational heroin use sparks a lively debate between the hosts, who aren't afraid to tackle the tough questions about addiction and vulnerability.
Adding a dash of humor, Mike recounts a wild 1980s story about trying to return a vial of crack to a dealer because he didn't like the size of the rock. It's a tale that has to be heard to be believed! But it's not all laughs; the episode also covers serious ground with updates on the latest medical research, like using MDMA to treat Alcohol Use Disorder. And if you think that's all, there's more.
The guys take a quirky detour discussing the possibility of life on Mars in their 'Week in Weird' segment. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about alternative perspectives on drug use, this episode offers a mix of insights and entertainment that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
