Thanksgiving Reflections: Aaron's Candid Talk with Mom
The problem is that if you experiment...it can mean life or death just by experimenting - and so the best thing I can do for your kids is be honest.
What happens when you sit down with your mom in the living room of your childhood home and share stories about your past drug use for the first time? In this heartfelt Thanksgiving special of 'The Peace On Drugs', host Aaron Akulis does just that. Joined by his mom, Meagan, Aaron opens up about his experiences with drugs and violence, revealing the impact it had on their family.
This episode isn't just about reliving the past; it's a raw, honest conversation about the realities of addiction and the war on drugs. Aaron and his mom discuss the shifting public perception towards the legalization of cannabis and the decriminalization of psychedelics, highlighting the potential benefits these substances can have, from treating PTSD to aiding meditation practices. They also emphasize the importance of honesty in drug education and the need for open dialogue within families.
Touching on the militarization of policing and its effects on communities, this episode serves as a powerful reminder of the far-reaching consequences of current drug policies. It's a thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to reflect on their own views and the importance of community connections. So, grab a cup of tea and join Aaron and his mom for a Thanksgiving chat that goes beyond the usual holiday fare.
