Beyond Labels: Rethinking Drug Use Categorization

The idea of drugs being medically exclusive sucks. Ideally, obviously, you do not limit a drug in that way.
Imagine if the way we classify drugs is actually hindering effective treatment and policy. In this episode of 'Challenging Pathos', hosts Glenn Marshall and Seth Fitzgerald tackle the rigid categories of 'medical' and 'recreational' drug use. They argue that these labels oversimplify a complex issue, affecting everything from harm reduction strategies to substance use treatment. The episode also features a soldier who shares his journey with cannabis, detailing how it helps him manage trauma and PTSD.
This raw and engaging conversation sheds light on the nuanced realities of drug use, challenging listeners to think beyond traditional classifications.
