I really realize that just telling people your own story, using what happened to you as a stand in for what needs to happen with the whole world, or whatever is really powerful, because people can dispute statistics forever.
Ever wondered how real-life experiences can reshape drug policy? Garth Mullins, the voice behind the impactful 'Crackdown' podcast, brings his unique perspective straight from Vancouver's Eastside. This episode of 'Challenging Pathos' dives into recent shifts in drug laws, like Mississippi's medical cannabis bill and Oregon's decriminalization efforts. But it's not just about policy changes; it's about survival and safety. Garth opens up about his own journey, recounting how illegal syringe exchanges kept him safe during his youth.
He paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs within harm reduction, including the contentious issue of safe injection sites. Garth believes that personal stories can move mountains, often more effectively than cold statistics. His insights offer a raw and compelling look at the complexities of drug use, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by these issues. Tune in to hear how one man's story can inspire broader change.
