    It’s Not a Disease, It’s a Business Model

    We need to talk about the lie that is keeping the recovery industrial complex in business. In this episode, I’m tearing down the narrative that addiction is a "progressive, fatal disease." We’re looking at who actually benefits when we tell people they are sick and powerless. Spoiler alert: it’s not the people trying to heal. A note for my Spotify Video watchers: In this video version, I am smoking cannabis and hit my bong during the episode. If you’re just listening to the audio, you won’t miss the info, but if you’re watching on Spotify, you’re hanging out with me in my element. Let’s burn the stigma and follow the money.
