"I think what decriminalization really means is the police just stand down." - Garth Mullins
Ever wondered what it takes to challenge the status quo on drug policy? Meet Garth Mullins, a well-known figure in the harm reduction movement, who shares his eye-opening experiences and bold initiatives on 'Hard Knox Talks'. As a member of The Drug Users Liberation Front (DULF) and the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU), Garth has pushed boundaries in ways that might surprise you.
From buying drugs on the darknet to testing them with a mass spectrometer and distributing them right in front of the Vancouver Police Station, Garth's actions are as daring as they are impactful. This episode dives deep into why Garth believes the most dangerous aspect of drugs is their illegality. He discusses the flaws in current drug policies and what changes are necessary to make a real difference.
You'll hear about the power of community, the importance of safe injection sites, and the critical role of naloxone in saving lives. Garth's stories aren't just about breaking laws; they're about breaking barriers and opening eyes to the realities of drug use and harm reduction. Tune in to hear his compelling narrative and decide for yourself what needs to change in our approach to substance use.
