DJ Bigg John and Aaron Akulis: Personal Stories and Philosophical Musings on Drugs and Policy

The negativity and the bad part about drugs has been taken to a level, to where it's turned into a business it has.
Ever wondered how the war on drugs has personally impacted those who’ve lived through it? DJ Bigg John and Aaron Akulis get real about their experiences with drugs and the controversial policies that surround them. This episode of 'The Peace on Drugs' podcast is more than just a conversation; it’s a candid look into the lives affected by drug legislation and the shifting tides of public perception.
From the harsh realities of addiction pushing individuals from clinics to the streets, to the growing acceptance of cannabis legalization and psychedelic decriminalization, they cover it all. DJ Bigg John and Aaron don’t shy away from the tough questions. They explore the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, especially in treating PTSD and easing end-of-life anxiety. But it’s not all heavy; their discussion takes fascinating philosophical detours, sharing personal stories that add depth and humanity to the broader issues at hand.
They also touch on hot-button topics like drug use and driving, criminalization, prostitution, and even the stoned ape theory. With a blend of seriousness and light-hearted banter, they advocate for lifting prohibition, regulating drugs for safety, and providing supportive environments for addicts. If you’re looking for an episode that combines personal anecdotes with insightful commentary on drug policy, this one’s for you.
