New episode of Know Justice out now!
"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"
If you're of a certain age, you'll remember these commercials of eggs on a frying pan well from your childhood. Maybe you remember the D.A.R.E. program in elementary schools (Drug Abuse Resistance Education). For all the public awareness campaigns we grew up with, the crisis around drugs and overdose isn't going away.
We can't arrest our way out of this problem, and we definitely can't ignore it. This episode examines the painful, lasting impacts of drug addiction and its connection to incarceration. We talk harm reduction, the need for a health lens in dealing with addiction, and we'll examine the value of every human life through first hand experience.
It might feel dark, but there is hope! You'll hear it in the strength of our guests today. Tune in!
