Dr. Junkie: A Fresh Take on Addiction and Drug Policy

We've incentivized people to use awful drugs in dangerous ways and did not listen to anybody who says they should do differently.
Ever wondered how the war on drugs has shaped our society's view on addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Peace On Drugs' podcast, host Aaron Akulis sits down with Benjamin Boyce, PhD, the author of 'Dr. Junkie'. Boyce shares his gripping personal journey through addiction and crime, challenging many preconceived notions about drugs and their users. This episode dives deep into the changing landscape of drug legalization, including the increasing acceptance of cannabis and the decriminalization of psychedelics.
But it doesn't stop there. You'll hear about the potential therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, from easing PTSD symptoms to providing comfort in end-of-life care. One standout moment is when a guest bluntly states, 'We've incentivized people to use awful drugs in dangerous ways and did not listen to anybody who says they should do differently'.
This raw discussion aims to shed light on how current drug policies may be doing more harm than good and offers guidance for those seeking help with addiction. Whether you're curious about the evolving public perception of drugs or looking for insights into addiction recovery, this episode promises a thought-provoking experience that will make you rethink everything you know about the war on drugs.
