War on Drugs Part 2

Trickle Up Politics

Part II of the subject of the war on drugs. Although two episodes does not do this subject justice, we encourage you, the listener, to do more research on this issue. In the episode we discuss the family behind Purdue Pharma and the corrupt practices that contributed to the opioid epidemic. We take a further dive into policies that can be established now to address this issue. We also explore changes we have to make in our mindset as a society in regard to people living with Substance Use Disorder (addiction) and why the mindset right now is not working. We talk a little about a book that we recommend in understanding the importance of changing our mindset. Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari. We hope you enjoy! Thank you for listening!
