It's either a medical issue or it's a criminal issue, or it's a moral issue, like we've got to decide, and it's not.

In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin for a candid chat. The conversation kicks off with Joe and Amy's lively banter on the 50th anniversary of the drug war, record-breaking alcohol sales, and the WHO's stance on women's issues. But the real meat of the episode is their interview with Governor Evers.
Governor Evers shares his views on why drug addiction should be treated as a medical issue rather than a criminal one. He also delves into the potential benefits of cannabis for medicinal purposes and the need for greater diversity within the cannabis industry. It's not just about weed and mental health, though. The discussion also touches on the decriminalization of drug use and innovative ways to fund recovery programs, including an intriguing proposal involving beer sales.
Whether you're interested in drug policy, mental health, or just want to hear a governor's take on these pressing issues, this episode offers a refreshing and insightful perspective. Tune in to get a unique look at how one state leader is tackling some of today's most challenging topics.
