Busting Drug Myths: Unpacking the Truth Behind Popular Misconceptions - TAP011

All of these popular drug myths have been pitched and pressed by the media, drug policymakers, users, or reformers alike.
Ever wondered if everything you hear about drugs is true? This episode of 'Challenging Pathos' dives into some of the most widespread and misleading myths about drugs. Host Glenn Marshall teams up with drug education advocate Seth Fitzgerald to set the record straight on a range of substances, from Krokodil to bath salts. They tackle the sensational claims head-on, like whether Krokodil really eats your flesh or if bath salts can turn you into a zombie.
Spoiler alert: much of what you've heard is pure fiction. But it doesn't stop there. The duo also explores myths surrounding prescription opiates, synthetic cannabinoids, marijuana, heroin, MDMA, alcohol, nicotine, and methamphetamine. Are these substances as dangerous as we've been led to believe? Are they safer because they're legal? Glenn and Seth provide evidence-based insights to debunk these misconceptions and offer a clearer picture of the risks involved.
Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of moving beyond scare tactics and propaganda. Instead, they advocate for informed choices based on scientific facts. They also take a critical look at how media, policymakers, and even users contribute to the fog of misinformation that surrounds drug use. If you're looking to cut through the noise and understand the real story behind these substances, this episode is a must-listen.
It's not just about busting myths; it's about empowering you with knowledge to make better decisions for yourself and your community.
