The drug war is against the golden rule.
Ever thought about how religion views the war on drugs? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Andrew Bairnsfather, the founder of Christians Against Prohibition. They dive into a thought-provoking discussion about how the drug war clashes with fundamental ethical principles shared by many religions. Bairnsfather argues that the punitive approach of the drug war contradicts the golden rule and other core religious values.
Instead, he advocates for harm reduction strategies that focus on compassion and the well-being of individuals and communities. The conversation also sheds light on how drug prohibition disproportionately affects marginalized groups and the crucial role of grassroots activism in driving change. If you're curious about how faith can intersect with addiction treatment and social justice, this episode offers a unique perspective that challenges conventional views.
Tune in to explore how we can move towards a more compassionate and ethical approach to substance abuse.
