Content Warning: Drug use  Tanagra Melgarejo Pulido from the National Harm Reduction Coalition speaks with host Tammy Kremer about the landscape of harm reduction programs and policies around the world and in the US, with a focus on the impacts of racism and colonization. She explains how harm reduction began with “communities of people who used drugs looking at each other, saying wait a minute, ‘We love each other, we care for each other. We need to build power and we need to work together.'”  Find out more about the National Harm Reduction Coalition: National Harm Reduction Coalition  Connect with Tanagra @melgarejo@harmreduction.org  Resources:   Harm Reduction International Conference  The Chicago Recovery Alliance  Positive Women's Network  Sister Stone  CAPTC Related Training and Resources:   S3 Ep2: Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: Harm Reduction Strategies with Jen Jackson  Drugs 101 Series  Harm Reduction Resources  Don't forget to follow us on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts, and turn on notifications to never miss an episode.  Send us a message on Instagram @comingtogetherpod, Twitter @californiaptc, or email us at comingtogetherpod@ucsf.edu.  Bio: Tanagra M.

You probably associate the so-called "War on Drugs" with the Reagans. Or maybe, more correctly, with the Nixon administration. But the government's anti-drug policies started decades before that.And, as we discuss in this week's episode, those policies were often motivated by things other than public health and safety. Instead, they targeted - and continue to target - immigrants and communities of color. This episode digs into the history of America's War on Drugs, featuring guests Jason Ruiz and Yasser Arafat Payne. MAKE A DONATION TO SUPPORT OUR WORK!

Pod Crashing Episode 200 With Clayton English And Greg Glod From War On Drugs In 1971, President Nixon declared drug abuse 'public enemy number one'- the first salvo in America's War on Drugs. Fifty years later, with drug overdoses in the US at a record high, are we any closer to 'victory'? The War on Drugs has a more profound effect on society than any of us really understands. It is embedded in the fabric of our culture and permeates our daily lives in visible and invisible ways -- perhaps the most daunting pandemic we face. Lava for Good's The War on Drugs podcast, co-hosted by comedian Clayton English and Greg Glod, senior criminal justice fellow at Americans for Prosperity examines the true cost of five decades of policy, policing, and persecution. Special guests, including diverse subject matter experts, peel back the surface of this complicated period of US history, showing the ways the War on Drugs has fueled mass incarceration, exacerbated addiction and hampered economic progress. By shining a spotlight on how our communities have crumbled under the weight of this so-called 'war,' we can explore the politicization of public health policy, systemic racism and classism in the legislation and administration of criminal law, and how decriminalization and other alternatives could bring the fruitless 'war' to an end.

Sheriff David Hathaway is a fifth-generation rancher from the U.S.-Mexico border in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. He's also a former supervisory agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, and he participated in the DEA's largest-ever homicide investigation, Operación Leyenda, to track down the killers of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in the 1980s. Hathaway's participation in Camarena's murder investigation, and his discovery that the CIA was not only smuggling drugs but also involved in Camarena's death in Mexico, led Hathaway to conclude that America's war on drugs is a failure, which spurs government corruption on both sides of the border as illustrated (yet again) in the current trial of former Mexican anti-drug official Genaro Garcia Luna in New York. Hathaway speaks frankly about U.S. drug policy, the investigation into Camarena's death (which is now featured in a four-part documentary called The Last Narc on Amazon), and the restorative justice programs* that Santa Cruz County has spearheaded to reduce drug demand in its communities. *Constructing Circles of Peace, Hope Incorporated, Wellness Connections, and Mariposa Community Health Center. The second part of this podcast with Hathaway which delves into border militarization, the recent shipping container wall boondoggle, and “fuzzy” border statistics will air next week. Stay tuned!

Is it possible for drug use to be part of a responsible, balanced, and happy life? Dr. Carl L. Hart, a prominent neuroscientist and professor of psychology at Columbia University, believes so; but he didn't always see it that way. Dr. Hart grew up in Miami at a time when drugs like crack cocaine were blamed for his city's problems. Initially, his research aimed to prove that drug use led to bad outcomes. But what he found was unexpected: the facts didn't support the ideology, the truth was dismissed and distorted to keep fear and outrage stoked, and more Black and brown bodies ended up behind bars. In his new book, Drug Use for Grown-Ups, Dr. Hart asserted that responsible drug use does more to enrich lives than to harm them. Based on personal experience and decades of research, he argued that criminalization and demonization of drug use — not the drugs themselves — are what caused negative outcomes and reinforced structural racism in America. Dr. Hart was joined in conversation with Professor Jennifer Oliva for a timely reflection on America's war on drugs, the unjust stigmas that persist, and how we might develop a new vision of drug use. Carl Hart is the Ziff Professor of Psychology in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at Columbia University. He is also a Research Scientist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Hart has published numerous scientific and popular articles in the area of neuropsychopharmacology and is co-author of the textbook Drugs, Society and Human Behavior. His book High Price was the 2014 winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. Jennifer D. Oliva is the Associate Dean for Faculty Research & Development and director of the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law at Seton Hall Law, where she specializes in health law and policy, FDA law, privacy, evidence, and complex litigation. She also serves as a senior scholar with the O'Neill Institute for National & Global Health Law at Georgetown Law and on the National Pain Advocacy Center's science and policy advisory council. Oliva is the recipient of multiple scholarly and professional awards and has served as a peer reviewer for numerous law and health journals. Her scholarship has been published by or is forthcoming in the California Law Review, Duke Law Journal, and many others.

Last week, Texas passed a law effectively banning abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy, and the Supreme Court did not immediately strike it down. Both pro-life and pro-choice advocates have erupted in response. But what does the law really mean? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn get into the weeds and explain why the Texas law isn't the victory many assume. Then, Christina Dent shares about her unexpected journey from a conservative, Southern, Bible school graduate, to drug legalization advocate. She tells Skye about the unexpected casualties caused by America's war on drugs, and what a more Christian response to the crisis could look like. Plus, China bans kids from playing video games.

In June 1971, then-President Richard Nixon said the U.S. had a new public enemy number one: addiction. It was the beginning of America's long war on drugs. Fifty years later, during months of interviews, NPR found a growing consensus across the political spectrum — including among some in law enforcement — that the drug war simply didn't work.

Q&A on Smoke: Marijuana + Black America with director and executive producer Erik Parker and interview subject Al Harrington (cannabis business owner and former NBA player). Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Thought leaders explore marijuana's influence in hip hop, how America's war on drugs impacted Black and Brown communities, and if legalization can ever right past wrongs.

On election night 2020, NBC news declared: "America's war on drugs is finally ending." Buzzfeed wrote: "Drugs Won The 2020 Presidential Election." Across the United States, drug legalization and decriminalization efforts are winning -- from deep blue to ruby red states. With the overwhelming passage of Ballot Measure 110, Oregon solidified its position as a national leader on drug reform. Both proponents and opponents are looking to Oregon to see what the fallout will be. Matt Sutton of the Drug Policy Alliance joins the pod to explain Measure 110, discuss how Oregon fits into the national trends, and debate whether there is an emerging bipartisan realignment on drug issues.

Today's episode is all about wheelchair and accessible travel, but our guest, though an international expert in this field, brings way more to the table than just that. For instance, She's an award-winning accessible travel writer, blogger and photographer, travel agent, author, entrepreneur and disability rights advocate. She's a service disabled US Air Force veteran, full-time wheelchair user, single mother and former Miss wheelchair USA. She's the founder of the award-winning Spin the Globe travel blog where she shares her traveling experiences from around the world in a power chair. She shares tips and tricks from her own travels, she gives fellow wheelchair users the tools and the confidence to create their own travel adventures without fear. Her travel articles have been featured in the New York Times, New Mobility Magazine and Lonely Planet and she's published three accessible travel-related books. And, I don't want to forget her 130 travel-related videos that she's created and produced from around the world. Videos led to voiceover work and that led to voiceover acting.  She is a powerhouse!  But there's more... Though all Sylvia's accomplishments I've mentioned so far are related to what we're going to be talking about today, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most intriguing areas of her resume. Sylvia is an expert on Mexico's drug war and border security, and has been a frequent guest on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, NBC Nightly News, to name a few. She's also been a guest expert on the History Channel's Brad Meltzer's Decoded in America's War on Drugs and has consulted for producers of the National Geographic Channel's Border Wars and Drugs Inc. series She is also an author of two books on these issues as well as hundreds of articles for Homeland Security publications. To say that Sylvia is "more than her MS" wouldn't do her accomplishments any justice. Join me now as I get the inside scoop from Sylvia on why travel post-disability IS possible, is way more accessible than you might imagine, and how your dream of traveling solo with a disability is absolutely achievable.  EPISODE NOTES: A quote to set the tone Documenting everything The psychological grieving process Preparing for what's to come Anticipating medical retirement Keeping one foot in the door of her career Pivoting from drug trafficking, border security and human trafficking to her passion for travel Travel as a form of healing Finding the confidence to travel alone with a disability How a 16-hour flight to Dubai set the bar Becoming a professional travel blogger and the birth of Spin the Globe How doing your homework on a destination is key Accessible travel 101 Identifying your limitations Taking incremental steps to find your comfort zone Traveling solo Asking for help The biggest travel-related setback she's encountered so far Frankfurt and a broken scooter Timing layovers to accommodate your ability The country that is surprisingly more accessible than you might think Patience, patience, patience Personal boundaries Projecting positivity while traveling in a wheelchair Being grateful for what you CAN do Wheelchair vanity.

The ALL ME® Podcast Bonus Episode: Can We Stop the Sale of Drugs On the Internet? –Dr. Tre Pennie Drugs are easily accessible into today's world.  In a world where phones and electronic devices are attached to our hands and eyes for many hours during the day, we need to be aware of what our young people are searching for and buying.  It doesn't take long for a young person to find anabolic steroids, HGH and other illicit substances for sale on Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.  You might be asking yourself how is this possible and why aren't these companies being held accountable for this.  Well we're going to spend some time in this podcast discussion the Communications Decency Act, specifically Section 230.  While this is a topic we've talked about in previous episodes, today we're going to be interviewing Dr. Tre Pennie. Pennie is a Texas native who grew up in inner city Houston.  During the time he was growing up it happened to be the height of “America's War on Drugs”.  At a young age he was exposed to violence and drug abuse, and even witnessed the fatal shooting of his cousin the day before she was set to get married.   Pennie loved to read and shortly after he graduated high school when he was 17 years old he enlisted in the US Army where he served for a number of years.  Following his military days, he was hired on by one of the top police departments in the U.S., the Dallas Police Department. While serving on the Department, Tre earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Midwestern State University and a Master's Degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University. At the time of the recording of this podcast Dr. Tre Pennie was running for the U.S. House in Texas Congressional District 30, so that if elected he could try and make some changed to stop the violence and the sale of drugs on the internet.   You will hear him discuss some of the steps that the government needs to take to try and update CDA Section 230 as well as some of the issues that will arise should it be removed.  Resource Links: Follow Us: Twitter:  @theTHF Instagram:  @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us:  Email:  Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:

This episode is for the activist and the corporate change-maker. You're wondering, how do I channel my voice? How do I navigate the boardroom and still advocate for real change? In this episode you'll learn about Khadijah's experience of the intersectionality between being a corporate vice-president, and being a black, queer woman working in the cannabis industry. Khadijah's life's work is the decriminalization of cannabis. She is working to ensure black and brown communities, who have long been affected by America's war on drugs, are properly represented in the wealth of cannabis' legalization. You can follow Khadijah's work on here. Check out CuraLeaf and their corporate social responsibility efforts to decriminalize cannabis here.

CONTENT WARNING - The following episode discusses mature themes, including illicit drug use and political assassinations. Listener discretion is advised. In the third installment of America's War on Drugs, Richard Nixon makes good on his second chance at becoming president of the United States in 1968, instituting his "law and order" policies during his president, chief among them sweeping anti-drug policy. These policies concentrated mostly on cannabis and opiates such as heroin, but also overhauled the way the federal government addressed drugs. Jaye provides context to the America of the 1960s, and discusses Nixon's War on Drugs as key to his crusade to end the social and political change the 1960s represented.

CONTENT WARNING - The following episode discusses mature themes, including murder, suicide, illicit drug use, child sex abuse and domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised. In the second installment of America's War on Drugs, drug czar Harry Anslinger continues his reign from the 1930s through the early 1960s. During his 32 years as commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, he campaigned against not only about cannabis, but also against narcotics and opiates. Jaye discusses Anslinger's reach and impact - including on the medical profession and global drug policies, and how he used mainstream society's fears of racial equality and communism to advance his vision of an anti-drug world.

He went from Brexit poster boy to prime minister. Boris Johnson takes the keys to 10 Downing Street, but can he unite a divided Conservative Party? And Joaquin Guzman led the largest drug cartel in the world, but after millions of dollars were spent to catch him, El Chapo was finally convicted. We look at America's war on drugs and ask whether it's been money well spent.

The story of America's "War on Drugs" usually begins with Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan. Matthew R. Pembleton, author of "Containing Addiction", argues that its origins instead lie in the years following World War II.  Matthew joins us in an upcoming podcast to discuss how U.S. policymakers had long viewed addiction and organized crime as profound domestic and trans-national threats, and how's America's application of a foreign policy solution to a domestic social crisis. The result is a drug war that persists into the present day.
