I'm truly convinced that if folks were not spending the majority of their time having to seek out their substance abuse, we would see immediate reduction in harms and an immediate change in our community.
What if the way we handle substance use could actually be making things worse? In this eye-opening episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', host Daniel Unmanageable sits down with Dr. Barb Fornssler, a substance use researcher, to tackle some tough questions. Recorded live at the Canadian Mental Health Association Provincial Conference, their conversation dives into the potential benefits of a regulated supply of illicit drugs and why current coercive methods in our justice system are failing miserably.
Dr. Fornssler doesn't hold back as she discusses how regulated supply could transform lives by providing safer alternatives and reducing harm. They also explore the broader societal perceptions that need to shift to make meaningful progress in substance use policy. Whether you're directly affected by substance use or simply curious about the complexities of drug policy, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on these pressing issues.
