So there's not much of a difference between saving your life and taking your life with the dose. Okay, that would be bad, that's not going to happen.
Ever heard of toad licking as a dangerous trend? Mary Crocker Cook and Gary Montrezza are back with another episode of 'Atypical', tackling some of the quirkiest and most pressing issues in addiction recovery. In this episode, they dive into the bizarre yet real danger of toad licking, where the difference between a high and a fatal dose is frighteningly slim.
Cook humorously warns, 'So there's not much of a difference between saving your life and taking your life with the dose. Okay, that would be bad, that's not going to happen'. But it's not all laughs; the hosts also cover serious topics like new opioid legislation aimed at curbing abuse. This includes provisions for first responders to administer naloxone and limiting opioid supplies to short-term prescriptions. If you think that's all, think again.
They also explore the challenges employers face in finding drug-free employees, shedding light on an often-overlooked issue in the workplace. And for those grappling with depression, the episode discusses groundbreaking research on ketamine. Unlike traditional antidepressants, sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine have shown promising results, offering new hope for those who haven't found relief through conventional treatments. As always, Cook and Montrezza bring their signature blend of humor and insight to each topic, making complex issues accessible and engaging.
Whether you're in recovery, know someone who is, or are just curious about the latest in addiction news, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a mix of quirky stories and serious discussions that will leave you both informed and entertained.
