Ramping up the so-called war on drugs is actually a war on you and me.
What happens when politics intersects with addiction recovery? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert McClellan takes a hard look at Donald Trump's proposal for the death penalty for drug dealers. With his trademark mix of humor and sincerity, Robert breaks down how this policy could have devastating effects on those struggling with addiction. He argues that such measures unfairly target vulnerable addicts, many of whom turn to dealing drugs as a means of survival.
Instead of punitive actions, Robert advocates for comprehensive mental health and addiction treatment options. He draws parallels with harsh policies in other countries and discusses how similar approaches have failed. This episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of addiction recovery and mental health support.
