We have to fight to front, battle against the Conservatives, moralists, who want to say that drugs are evil, and also against the left...because they also believe that we should protect it.
Ever thought about addiction as more than just a criminal issue? In this episode of the Trauma Informed Podcast, Jeff Friedman sits down with Sturla Haugsgjerd, a Norwegian writer and activist, to discuss a refreshing perspective on drug policy and addiction. Haugsgjerd is known for his work with Morgenbladet and the Humane Drug Policy Association, where he advocates for treating drug addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.
This conversation goes beyond the surface, delving into the role of trauma in addiction and how harm reduction practices can mitigate the negative impacts of drug use. Haugsgjerd also touches on the potential benefits of psychedelic drugs for mental health, emphasizing the need for research and attention to marginalized communities. If you're looking for an eye-opening discussion that challenges societal norms and offers new approaches to complex issues, this episode is a must-listen.
