Jessica Kent on Psychedelics, Addiction, and Rethinking Drug Policies

I think decriminalizing drugs is important, but I also think that we need to reallocate the funds that we spend incarcerating drug addicts and create a massive drug treatment and drug rehabilitation option.
Jessica Kent takes us on a gripping journey through her life in this episode of The CG Kid Podcast. With host Philip Markoff, she opens up about her experiences with psychedelics and drug addiction, offering a raw look at how these substances shaped her world. From her early days as a dealer to the profound impacts of addiction on her life, Jessica's story is both eye-opening and thought-provoking.
But it doesn't stop there; they dive deep into the controversial topic of the war on drugs, discussing its shortcomings and the urgent need for policy reform. Jessica passionately argues for the decriminalization of drugs and highlights the importance of rehabilitation over punishment. Together, they challenge societal judgments about addiction and emphasize the power of empathy and understanding.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction, the potential benefits of psychedelics in recovery, and the pressing need for a more compassionate approach to drug policies.
