Michaell Magrutsche: Rethinking Drug Prohibition and Society's Role
I prefer drugs that are natural, like cannabis and mushrooms and stuff like that.
What happens when an artist and an art educator sit down to discuss drug prohibition and societal structures? You get a conversation that’s as eye-opening as it is thought-provoking. In this episode of 'The Peace on Drugs', host Aaron Akulis welcomes Michaell Magrutsche, who brings a unique perspective to the table. Michaell dives into his own experiences with drugs during his youth and how he perceives them outside the conventional system.
He challenges the notion that addiction is inherently evil and discusses how societal systems are designed to offer peace and security but often fall short. Michaell also shares insights from his book, 'The Smart of Art', which sheds light on the financial struggles many artists face. This discussion isn't just about drugs; it's about the bigger picture of societal fairness.
Michaell argues for a system that benefits everyone, not just the elite, and even suggests taxing billionaires more heavily to achieve this balance. The conversation takes intriguing turns as they explore the benefits of natural drugs like cannabis and mushrooms, contrasting them with the pitfalls of genetically modified substances. Michaell emphasizes the importance of effective coping mechanisms and how some people turn to drugs like heroin to manage their lives.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of drug policy, societal structures, and personal freedom. Michaell’s perspective is both challenging and enlightening, making this conversation a valuable addition to the ongoing dialogue about drugs and society.
