We think that because drugs are so dangerous and the potential is so high that we need to take a more harm-reduction, evidence-based approach, rather than just saying just say no and just don't do drugs and not addressing the problems or trying to reduce the risks involved with actually using drugs.
What if the war on drugs isn't the answer? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Allan Clear, the executive director of the Harm Reduction Coalition, and Stacia Cosner from Students for Sensible Drug Policy. Allan takes us through the fascinating history of needle exchange programs in the US and the evolution of harm reduction strategies.
You'll get an insider's look at how these programs operate and their impact on public health. Stacia brings a fresh perspective on drug policies from the viewpoint of college students, shedding light on the prevalence of drug use on campuses and why students are pushing back against traditional drug war tactics. This episode isn't just about policies; it's about real-life applications like wet housing for alcoholics and effective relapse prevention techniques.
Whether you're new to harm reduction or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights and practical takeaways. Tune in to explore how evidence-based approaches can pave the way for more humane and effective drug policies.
