The lack of information is going to cause some people to err on the side of misusing it. But now for me to come out and say I use crack, I'm hoping to use crack and be intelligent about it.
Imagine living in the gray area between total abstinence and rock bottom. In this eye-opening episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Shane Schleger, author of the compelling Slate article 'Fifteen Years Smoking Crack: Life in the middle ground between total abstinence and rock bottom'.
Schleger, who also hosts the podcast 'Dope Stories', opens up about his unique journey of controlled crack smoking and how he has navigated the often treacherous waters of substance use. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics. Anderson and Schleger tackle harm reduction strategies head-on, discussing how drug policies affect users and the critical need for informed decision-making. Schleger’s story challenges the conventional wisdom that abstinence is the only path to recovery.
He argues that lack of information can lead to misuse, emphasizing the importance of understanding and education in making safer choices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with substance abuse issues or supporting someone who is. It offers a fresh perspective on harm reduction and sheds light on the complexities of addiction in a way that's both compassionate and thought-provoking.
