I'm promoting an end to the stigmatization of drug use, which I think is very important, and I'm also promoting awareness.
Imagine a world where drug policy is guided by compassion and rationality rather than fear and stigma. In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads chats with Will Godfrey, the Executive Director and Editor in Chief of Filter Magazine, to explore this very vision. Filter Magazine is dedicated to advocating for humane and sensible approaches to drug use and policy through hard-hitting journalism.
Will shares the inspiring story behind Filter Magazine's creation and its mission to present drug use in a balanced light, from the challenges of addiction to the reality of functional and enjoyable use. The conversation dives deep into harm reduction, a topic often clouded by misconceptions. Will sheds light on why harm reduction is more than just a buzzword and how it can coexist with abstinence strategies.
They discuss practical tools like naloxone, which can save lives during opioid overdoses, and tackle the myths surrounding vaping and smoking. This episode is packed with insights that challenge the status quo and encourage listeners to think differently about drug use and policy. Whether you're new to these topics or a seasoned advocate, you'll find this discussion both eye-opening and empowering.
