If there's only one message that you take away from my testimony that influences the way you think about drug policy, I hope that the one message is this: don't focus on drugs, focus on people.
Picture this: you're in the heart of an Oklahoma legislative hearing, and addiction expert Zach Rhoads is taking the floor. In this bonus episode of 'The Social Exchange', Rhoads shares his powerful testimony against new statewide opioid prescribing limitations. He urges lawmakers to shift their focus from drugs to the people affected by them. Zach dives deep into addiction research and natural recovery, emphasizing two often-overlooked truths about addiction.
He argues that drugs aren't the enemy; they are merely tools, and the real challenge lies in providing attractive alternatives to drug use. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone interested in the nuances of addiction and the policy decisions that impact it. If you're curious about how we can better support individuals struggling with addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective.
