Drug policy feels very unsettled right now. The war on drugs was a failure. But so far, the war on the war on drugs hasn't entirely been a success, either.Take Oregon. In 2020, it became the first state in the nation to decriminalize hard drugs. It was a paradigm shift — treating drug-users as patients rather than criminals — and advocates hoped it would be a model for the nation. But then there was a surge in overdoses and public backlash over open-air drug use. And last month, Oregon's governor signed a law restoring criminal penalties for drug possession, ending that short-lived experiment.Other states and cities have also tipped toward backlash. And there are a lot of concerns about how cannabis legalization and commercialization is working out around the country. So what did the supporters of these measures fail to foresee? And where do we go from here?Keith Humphreys is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University who specializes in addiction and its treatment. He also served as a senior policy adviser in the Obama administration. I asked him to walk me through why Oregon's policy didn't work out; what policymakers sometimes misunderstand about addiction; the gap between “elite” drug cultures and how drugs are actually consumed by most people; and what better drug policies might look like.Mentioned:Oregon Health Authority dataBook Recommendations:Drugs and Drug Policy by Mark A.R.

Pennsylvania Drug Laws May Limit Syringe ServicesPennsylvania is one of 12 states that do not implicitly or explicitly authorize syringe services programs through statute or regulation, according to a recent analysis. They are widely considered to be illegal outside of Allegheny County and Philadelphia, where officials have for decades used local health power to grant legal protection to people who operate syringe services programs.These programs have widespread support in the medical community, and expanding them is listed as one of nine “Core Strategies” for the tens of billions of dollars coming to states as part of settlements with drug companies for their role in allegedly fueling the opioid epidemic. A coalition of state attorneys general reached the agreements with the companies.Pennsylvania expects to receive more than $1.6 billion in opioid settlement funds, but the state's ban makes it significantly harder for the money to directly support expanding syringe services in many places.Some supporters of syringe services programs operate underground. Carla Sofronski, executive director of the Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network, said she's not aware of anyone ever facing criminal charges for doing so in the state, but noted the threat hangs over them, and they are taking a “great risk.”Read more at sciencefriday.com.These Romance Novels Represent Black Women In ScienceThe fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (also known as STEM) are not particularly diverse.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. David Herzberg. "A historian of drugs whose research focuses on the legal kind—psychoactive pharmaceuticals, Dr. Zerzberg explores the nature and trajectory of drug commerce, drug use, and drug policy in American racial capitalism." He's classified as a White Man and teaches at the University of Buffalo - same city as the TOP'S grocery store massacre. Along with Helen Hansen and Jules Netherland, Dr. Herzberg co-authored: WHITEOUT - How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America. The 2 White and 1 non-white authors make explicit that legislation and enforcement of drug regulations is always about the maintenance of White Supremacy. We'll discuss his upbringing in a likely Racially Restricted Region/Sundown Town as well as his own use of narcotics as a White Man. We'll also inquire about odd terms in the book like "honorary blacks" - which suggests that poor White people are treated in a manner similar to black people (HUGE LIE). Dr. Herzberg was mighty loquacious during many portions of the exchange. In responding to Gus's definition of Racism/White Supremacy, Dr. Herzberg told us about "Whiteness Island" and suggested that people classified as White could somehow be "de-categorized" if they do not adhere to the White Supremacist code. Upon inspection, Dr. Herzberg conceded both suppositions are invalid. Gus did not waste time researching vacations packages for "Whiteness Island." #SobrietyWouldBeBest #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

However, it's essential to acknowledge the dark history of cannabis prohibition in Canada and the USA. The criminalization of cannabis wasn't based on scientific evidence of its harmful effects or widespread health concerns but was fuelled by moral panic, racism, and xenophobia. It served as a tool to maintain a rigid social hierarchy, where those in power and privilege oppressed and marginalized those considered inferior. The ‘war on drugs' transformed into a ‘war on cannabis,' ultimately becoming a war on minorities in both countries. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

WASHINGTON — Washington lawmakers are considering several bills to decide how the state will handle drug laws in the wake of a 2021 supreme court ruling that struck down the state's felony drug possession statute.A stopgap measure passed by the legislature after the supreme court's 'Blake decision' will expire this summer.The Senate Law and Justice committee heard proposals Tuesday for new laws that would criminalize drug possession and incentivize drug users to go to rehab.Sen. Jesse Salomon (D - Shoreline) is sponsoring one of the proposals, SB 5476, which would require people arrested for drug possession to engage in treatment or face at least 45 days in jail.“Our communities are suffering from rampant public drug use. I think we need to send a message to judges that they need to take these charges seriously," Salomon said. “This creates a system where they can be arrested, not with the intent to jail them but to say, look, the state and cities they need an option to get people into treatment.”Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

RMA-Episode 98 Show Notes:   RMA-Episode 98: Recovery in the News. This week on RMA, Mike and Nat drill down into some drug policy issues that have been generating some controversy lately. Should cannabis be a Schedule 1 drug? How can we make sure that medically assisted treatment is available to all who would benefit from it? What can we do to help people getting out of prison maintain their programs? Should crack and powder cocaine be treated the same under federal law? IS the war on drugs a failure?

Most of us were warned about drugs in elementary school through the D.A.R.E program (Drug Abuse Resistance Programs), which in a nustshell told us don't take drugs or you'll die. But somehow we were still curious and it's estimated that 47% of young people use an illegal drug by the time they graduate high school and among Americans 31.9 million are current illegal drug users. So why do we do drugs when we know about the harmful effects they have — addiction, criminal offenses, diseases, and even death? What is wrong with us? On this episode I am joined by Blunt Talk Girls who are outspoken, blunt, have no filter, and have something to say about all of the things that society tells us to be quiet about.

What is going on with Oregon Drug Laws? The state of Oregon made history, the first state in the United States to decriminalize the possession of all hard drugs on November 2020.  Marijuana was legalized in Oregon since 2014. Is this a good idea, a bad idea, or a yet to be determined social experiment? Oregon Measure 110, a ballot initiative funded by the Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group that promotes drug normalization, and passed with more than 58% of the vote. Possession of heroin, cocaine, meth, ecstasy or other drugs is no longer a criminal offense in Oregon. Possession may be a civil, not a criminal violation that may result in a fine or court ordered therapy, but not jail. People in Oregon can carry small amounts of drugs. What is a small amount? Less than 1g of heroin, less than 2 g of meth, less than 40 pills of oxycodone.  You can judge if you think that is small or large.
