Ep 1003 | What If We Decriminalized Drugs? | Guest: Christina Dent

Published: May 15, 2024, 7:18 p.m.

Today, we sit down with author Christina Dent. Christina's nonprofit End It for Good advocates for the decriminalization of drugs and a shift away from a criminal-justice approach and toward a health-centered approach to address America's drug and overdose epidemic. But does\xa0decriminalization\xa0actually work? What would this look like in America? And where's the line between a compassionate, health-driven approach and complete lawlessness that creates unsafe cities?\n\nYou can get Christina's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Curious-Discovery-Unexpected-Solution-Addiction/dp/B0CMCDV8VP\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:15) BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING TONIGHT\n(03:45) Christina\u2019s entry into this conversation\n(13:02) Accountability\n(22:10) Consequences for drug use\n(28:55) Drugs in prison\n(34:26) Hard drugs vs. alcohol & smoking\n(01:07:44) Oregon & San Francisco examples\n(01:13:55) Drug charges\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nWe Heart Nutrition \u2014 nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at\xa0WeHeartNutrition.com\xa0and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.\n\nJase Medical \u2014 get up to a year\u2019s worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance.
