One Year of 'The Peace on Drugs': Reflections with Micheal O’Neill and DJ Bigg John
When you're locking people up for getting high, it's just non-violent crimes, man.
What happens when you bring back the very first guests to celebrate a milestone? In this special episode of 'The Peace on Drugs', host Aaron Akulis reunites with Micheal O’Neill and DJ Bigg John to mark the podcast's one year anniversary. This trio dives deep into the ongoing conversation about the war on drugs, its impact on society, and how public attitudes are evolving as more states move towards legalizing cannabis and decriminalizing psychedelics.
They don’t shy away from tough topics, discussing how addiction can push individuals from clinics to the streets and the transformative potential of psychedelics for conditions like PTSD and end-of-life anxiety. Micheal and Bigg John also shed light on the dark side of the drug industry, including the dangers of fentanyl and heroin, and the role of politics and big business.
If you’re curious about how these issues intersect with everyday lives or seeking a fresh perspective on drug policy, this episode offers a candid, thought-provoking discussion that’s both informative and engaging.
