Drug-taking is as natural as falling in love. But you know, if I didn't have my coffee in the morning, I would be going through withdrawal big time.
Ever thought about the real-world impact of harm reduction? Kenneth Anderson's 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS' brings you an eye-opening conversation with Mona Bennett, Programs Coordinator for the Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition, and Richard Wilmot PhD, author of 'American Euphoria: Saying 'Know' to Drugs'. Bennett sheds light on the hurdles harm reduction centers face, especially when serving marginalized communities. She dives into the criminalization of syringes in North Carolina and how it complicates efforts to reduce harm among drug users.
Wilmot adds another layer by discussing how Puritanical views shape substance abuse treatment in America. He argues for the necessity of harm reduction in preventing overdoses and critiques abstinence-only approaches. The duo also touches on the intriguing idea of religion as a form of addiction and the role of self-awareness in drug experiences. If you're curious about alternative approaches to substance abuse treatment, this episode offers a wealth of insights that challenge conventional thinking.
