We need a new solution. And I want to thank you for being our guest tonight.
Ever wondered how the war on drugs has shaped our society and what alternatives might look like? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Jeffrey Dhywood, the author of 'World War D: The Case Against Prohibitionism, Roadmap to Controlled Re-Legalization'. Dhywood dives into the tangled history of drug prohibition, revealing how substances like heroin and cocaine ended up on the prohibited list almost by accident.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the racial biases and societal harms that prohibition has perpetuated, including high imprisonment rates and the flourishing black market. Dhywood's perspective is a refreshing departure from traditional narratives, proposing a roadmap to controlled re-legalization with robust regulations to mitigate addiction and contamination. The conversation touches on everything from the relatively benign effects of marijuana to the urgent need for new solutions in drug policy.
If you're curious about the future of substance regulation and want to hear a compelling argument for change, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
