People love to associate sort of these antiquated and horrible treatments on drug use just to the Republican side of our politics. So it's done nothing and all it has done is criminalize generations of mostly black and brown Americans.
Ever wondered how drug policies shape our communities? In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', Jay Shifman sits down with Kellen Russoniello from the Drug Policy Alliance to break down the complexities of US drug policies. They chat about the history and impact of these policies, especially on communities of color, and tackle the heavy stigma surrounding drug use. Kellen shares insights on harm reduction strategies, emphasizing the importance of naloxone distribution and advocating for better mental health care coverage.
Personal stories take center stage as they discuss how real-life experiences can shift public opinion and push for decriminalization. This conversation is not just informative; it’s a call to action. If you’re passionate about making a difference in substance misuse and mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
