We have a major drug epidemic. I think it's almost two thirds of those who overdose are African American and Native American and, interestingly enough, the couple that I want to interview and we'll have to do I will probably have to do it via Skype. It drives me crazy because now race is brought into the opioid, into the drug epidemic, and it's like: oh my god, race shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Marijuana is often a hot topic, but how much do we really know about its effects and the truths behind its use? In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', hosts Joanie Sigal and Jason Good sit down with Lynn Posyton and Bonni Snider to uncover the realities of marijuana and its broader implications on society.
Lynn Posyton, who dedicates her career to educating children and communities about drugs, sheds light on 'The Truth About Drugs' program from the Foundation for a Drug-Free World. This initiative provides free resources to help educators and groups tackle drug misinformation head-on. She also touches on how businesses can play a crucial role in combating the drug epidemic through corporate social responsibility.
Bonni Snider, from Bay Care, shares her personal journey and the hurdles she encounters while spreading awareness about substance abuse. She discusses the challenges of reaching resistant audiences and the impact addiction has on families. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the racial dimensions of the drug crisis and the alarming rates of opioid overdoses among African American and Native American communities.
The episode wraps up with practical advice on the safe disposal of prescription medications and highlights the benefits of Narconon's non-step rehabilitation program. If you're curious about the real story behind marijuana or want to learn more about effective drug education, this episode is a must-listen.
