I'm working on a weekly/nightly podcast about how drugs take, take over, how they make a person feel, what people do to get drugs, what people do when they get drugs, what people do when they are on drugs, what they do when they run out etc. send suggestions on topics! thanks.
Great series! I listened to these podcasts while really high. Then I listened to these podcasts while really sober-- and they still made sense. Damn.
I love this podcast and Geoff has a great voice with awesome story telling abilities. thank you for this insightful look at drugs.
more please been waiting since last year. taking the drugs isn't enough any more, I need a podcast about them too.
Some of the facts on heroin contradict what the history channel gave in its documentary.
I fucking love this podcast an would love to get involved some how.
let's stop calling it our "addiction problem" instead let's call it our "culture problem". our culture is filled with useless goods that are cheap and don't make happy. while the things of real value: education, health care, and mental health care are all absurdly unaffordable for most people. our morality is also failing, the church is more concerned with preventing homosexuals from sharing love and enslaving women to motherhood than it is with preventing injustice. greed is lauded as a good quality. America and Europe's success is built on watching and unfair trade with poorer countries who are strong armed into compliance. our culture sucks and it's spreading over the whole globe. people are smart they see how shitty the world is. that's our problem. fix the culture and the addiction will go away
The war on drugs episode kind of gives the (incorrect) impression that the only therapeutic approaches to PTSD outside of drug therapy is flooding, when in reality many other options (eg cognitive processing training, CBT, etc) that are commonly used.
