Our response to fentanyl and prohibition and utilizing the criminal justice system the way we are, is just not working.
Ever thought about how addiction is more of a mental health issue than a criminal one? Clayton English, an award-winning comedian, and Greg Glod, a criminal justice fellow, tackle this very question on their podcast 'The War on Drugs'. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', they join host Jason LaChance to discuss the flawed policies surrounding addiction and the urgent need for reform.
They dive into the racial stereotypes that have shaped drug laws and the personal reasons behind their passion for this cause. It's not just a serious talk; they manage to sprinkle in humor, making the conversation both enlightening and entertaining. Clayton and Greg share how their own lives have been touched by addiction, driving their mission to end the stigma and push for a more compassionate approach.
They argue that treating addiction as a mental health issue could lead to more effective and humane solutions. The episode also covers the rise of fentanyl, its devastating impact, and how it ties back to the broader issues of drug prohibition. Trauma's role in addiction is another key topic. The duo emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health to aid recovery, advocating for policy changes that focus on treatment rather than punishment.
Their insights aim to inspire listeners to seek help and understand that addiction is a treatable condition. If you're looking for a mix of hard-hitting truths and a few laughs along the way, this episode is a must-listen. It challenges the conventional views on addiction and highlights the need for systemic change in how society handles drug-related issues.
