This week, Gabe and Chris dive into the complex topic of chemsex—the pairing of party drugs and sex—within queer and trans communities. Poet and performer Joss Barton shares how her gender journey began with an acid trip and how exploring pleasure through substances became part of her story. But it wasn’t until she began incorporating her experiences into her wild, hilarious performances that she started to break free from the stigma trans women often face around drug use and reassess her own relationship with it. That’s harm reduction, mama! In a raw and raunchy interview, Joss unpacks the highs and lows of getting high and horny, and how the U.S. government's escalating attacks on trans people are shaping her community’s use of chems. Then, a harm reduction expert joins the conversation to share tips for safer drug use and how to seek support when it’s time to cool it down.

Stories around substance use disorder (SUD) have too often been framed around crisis and moral failing. But SUD is a health condition—no different from heart disease or cancer—and it deserves public response rooted in care, not stigma. San Francisco is working to change that narrative. Through evidence-based treatment, innovative telehealth programs, and groundbreaking stigma-reduction campaigns like Living Proof, the city is reimagining recovery and how public health can meet people where they are. Dr. Jeffrey Hom, Medical Officer for Science and Policy in San Francisco's Department of Public Health Substance Use Services joins us to discuss how storytelling can shift public perception, and accessible services can guide people onto paths of recovery. The conversation is a reminder that recovery becomes possible when health systems lead with both science and empathy. Dr. Jeffrey Hom is the San Francisco Department of Public Health's Substance Use Services Medical Officer for Science and Policy. He previously served as medical director for the City of Philadelphia's Division of Substance Use Prevention and Harm Reduction and has lectured for Jefferson Health and the University of Pennsylvania. More Links and Information  Check out more Fors Marsh Media  Connect or partner with Fors MarshLearn more about San Francisco's Night Navigator and street care programs Hear from people recovering from SUD in San Francisco through Living Proof

Ben Kaye shares his powerful story of recovery after years caught in the world of chemsex—a term used to describe using drugs like crystal meth, GBL, and mephedrone to enhance sex, lower inhibitions, and feel more connected during sexual encounters, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. What started as weekend partying turned into daily drug use and emotional isolation. Ben opens up about how trauma, loneliness, and the search for love led him to addiction, including injecting meth to feel a sense of control and connection. In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Ben explains how chemsex became his way of coping, and how treatment, community, and time helped him rebuild his life. Now a therapist, he helps others find healing too. 00:00 – Intro: Meet Ben Kaye01:05 – An idyllic childhood shattered at 1502:21 – First experiences with substances04:00 – Moving to London, coming out, and the party scene05:30 – Why the party lifestyle became so appealing07:00 – Functioning addict or barely functioning?08:22 – When weekend use turned into daily meth use09:27 – Injecting crystal meth: how it started10:45 – What is Chemsex?

"Harm reduction is a really useful term, but it's a bit of a misnomer. Some people are moving toward the phrase Risk Reduction. Risk is always present, but if you play a good game you can eliminate your risks entirely."   This special episode of Coping 101 is hosted by Madlon, c89.5's host of Color Theory, DJ, mental health advocate, and longtime raver. DanceSafe's Richard Hartnell joined Madlon to explore the current state of affairs in the nightlife and festival scene, when it comes to responsible partying, drug policy, and the various ways we can look out for ourselves and each other.    Fentanyl specifically is in the spotlight these days, as an increasing cause of overdose and death among young people. It can be dangerous, but it's also become this catch-all for drug culture. Here we cover what people should know about fentanyl, how prevalent it is, how and when to use narcan - or naloxone - and some of the common misconceptions around it. We invited DanceSafe to guide us through this loaded subject matter, as they're a drug checking, earplug slinging, party servicing nonprofit that was founded on social justice principles. Programs include drug education, sexual health and consent deep-dives, political advocacy, and event outreach.   Presented by c89.5 in partnership with Seattle Children's, Coping 101 is an ongoing series led by students in Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club. The project destigmatizes mental health from a teen's perspective, and is made possible with support from Friends For Life. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope.

We're dusting off a fan favorite this week—because some stories are just too ridiculous not to re-air.This episode takes you from graduation pride in Austin to jaw-dropping public policies in San Francisco, where vodka is now a taxpayer-funded coping mechanism for the homeless (yes, really). Oregon jumps into the mix with a name change that makes “physician assistant” sound more like a business partner. Meanwhile, Tim deep-dives into the satisfying horror of sinus irrigation and pink jail cells, and May teaches us that even your paint color might be screwing with your brain.It's absurd. It's hilarious. It's a wild ride through medicine, mockery, and the madness we've all come to expect—and somehow, still can't believe.If you missed it the first time, welcome to the show.
