In this compelling episode, we delve deep into the history and ongoing impact of the War on Drugs, a policy that has shaped the criminal justice system and affected millions of lives. But was it truly a war on drugs, or was it a strategic effort to control certain populations and maintain the status quo? We explore the motivations behind this decades-long campaign and its devastating consequences, particularly for marginalized communities.

We also take a critical look at today’s harm reduction strategies, such as safe supply and consumption sites. While these modern approaches appear more compassionate, could they be another form of social control, managing and containing those deemed problematic by society? 

Join us as we unravel the complexities of drug addiction, the motivations behind drug policies, and the potential for a future where we treat addiction with understanding and compassion rather than punishment and control. This episode challenges conventional narratives and encourages us to rethink our approach to one of the most pressing issues of our time.
