But what I do know is what we are doing now is not working.
How do you tackle a crisis that keeps growing despite all efforts? In this episode, Eric McCoy sits down with Jodi Barber, a passionate advocate for overdose awareness, to explore this pressing question. Jodi, the producer of 'Overtaken' and a dedicated organizer of International Overdose Awareness Day events in Orange County, California, shares her decade-long journey in raising awareness and breaking the stigma around drug-related deaths.
Together, they confront the harsh reality that current strategies aren't enough, as overdose rates continue to climb. They don't shy away from controversial topics, discussing bold measures like testing drugs for fentanyl and reducing certain felonies to misdemeanors. They also touch on the complex issues surrounding meth, cocaine, and Adderall addiction. Jodi and Eric emphasize the need for tailored solutions to address individual cases and the importance of tackling real-life problems to prevent addiction.
This episode is a raw, informative, and compassionate conversation that leaves listeners with a sense of urgency and hope for change.
