Being able to separate the fact that these items are oftentimes criminalized from the actual health of a person is the only way we're actually going to reach a point where these people who need this, as I did years ago, can be treated the way that they need.
Imagine being told that your struggles with substance misuse are a result of personal failings or poor choices. This episode of 'Choose Your Struggle' flips that narrative on its head. Jay Shifman joins Isabel Knight and Deondre' Jones on their show, 'I'm The Villain', to tackle the myths and misinformation surrounding drug use and addiction.
Isabel and Deondre', millennials fed up with outdated advice like 'just stop eating avocado toast', dive deep with Jay into how societal lies and systemic racism have shaped our understanding of drugs and addiction. Jay brings his unique perspective, sharing how intentional and unintentional misdirections from previous generations have left us grappling with these issues today. The conversation is eye-opening, addressing the racial and socioeconomic factors that influence drug policies and public perception.
Jay's candid discussion highlights the importance of harm reduction, education, and comprehensive treatment in transforming lives. By the end of the episode, you'll see why separating criminalization from health is crucial for real change. If you're ready to challenge what you thought you knew about substance misuse, this episode is a must-listen.
