So I think it could be very dangerous decriminalizing these kinds of drugs.
Torie Miller dives into a hot-button issue in this episode of 'Addiction and Recovery'. Oregon's recent move to decriminalize small amounts of drugs has sparked intense debate. While some hail it as a forward-thinking approach to drug policy, Torie isn't so sure. She raises critical questions about the potential fallout for addiction and recovery. Could this policy make it easier for people to fall into the trap of addiction by lowering the stakes? Torie thinks it might.
She points out that while the cost of addiction and rehab is already sky-high, reducing penalties for possessing drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin might just open the floodgates. On the flip side, she supports decriminalizing certain psychedelics and marijuana, seeing them as less harmful. This episode offers a balanced look at a complex issue, urging listeners to weigh the pros and cons of such a significant policy change.
If you're curious about the real-world impact of drug decriminalization, this episode is a must-listen.
