So there are groups that are very closed off to any substances, and that's great and good for them. But my friend was telling me, you know, when we talk about getting sober too, it's like aa will get you sober if you go and do everything they say. But you need to find the pathway and the group and whatever it is that works right for you.

For hosts Kenna Crampton and Maggie Seldeen of 'Chemical World', it's a time to shine a light on the complexities of addiction and the importance of harm reduction.
