when you get it, when you understand that really our goal in drug policy should be stopping people from getting hurt, not stopping them from getting high, like I don't care if you get high, if you want to get high, that's fine.
Maia Szalavitz, a New York Times best-selling author and acclaimed journalist, joins Nathan McLean and Corey Williams on the Recovery Machine Podcast to discuss her groundbreaking views on addiction and drug policy. With a rich background in neuroscience and harm reduction, Szalavitz sheds light on why criminalizing drug possession does more harm than good. She argues that drug policies should focus on preventing harm rather than simply discouraging drug use.
This episode dives into the complexities of addiction, the latest neuroscience research, and the importance of personalized treatment plans. Szalavitz also touches on the stigma surrounding addiction and how environmental factors play a crucial role in recovery. Drawing from her own experiences with addiction, she shares how music became a pivotal part of her healing journey. If you're interested in understanding the intricate layers of addiction and effective drug policies, this episode is a must-listen.
