We need to be drug positive if we want to reduce the harms. Speaking about the benefits of drugs, including pleasure, pleasure as a positive benefit, is the best way to get people to reduce their risky behaviors and to reduce the overall harm from drugs.
Have you ever questioned the common narratives around drug use and addiction? In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads sits down with Emanuel Sferios, the founder of DanceSafe and the voice behind the Drug Positive Podcast. Together, they tackle the myths and scare tactics often associated with drugs, offering a refreshing and balanced discussion on their potential risks and benefits. Emanuel Sferios doesn't just talk about harm reduction; he lives it.
Through DanceSafe, he has championed drug safety and education, aiming to reduce harm by promoting informed choices. In this episode, Sferios shares his insights on why being 'drug positive'—understanding and acknowledging the benefits as well as the risks—can lead to more effective drug policies. They also dive into the cultural impact on drug use and how activism can pave the way for change.
If you're tired of one-sided debates and are looking for a nuanced conversation that challenges conventional wisdom, this episode is a must-listen. Sferios' approach emphasizes separating people from their ideas, advocating for a more compassionate and informed dialogue around drugs.
