Podcasts about narcotic drugs

After a short break, Dave is back—fresh from speaking at the 68th Commission on Narcotic Drugs at the United Nations in Vienna. Inspired by that global conversation with Shane Varcoe from the Dalgarno Institute, this solo episode dives deep into the overlap between prevention and recovery.Dave explores why lived experience and earned resilience are essential prevention tools and how we can challenge the stigma around addiction, shift public narratives, and help people build lives they don't want to escape from.

Buon venerdì Stupefan!Come promesso la scorsa settimana, anche in questo episodio vi portiamo a Vienna, per recuperare le fasi finali della 68° Commission on Narcotic Drugs, il consesso delle Nazioni Unite preposto alla definizione delle politiche sulle droghe a livello internazionale. Parleremo delle sostanze che il CND ha tabellato, passeremo per il voto delle risoluzioni e dalla posizione dei singoli stati sulle decisioni prese. Cosa succede se le politiche Trumpiane si insinuano anche nelle assemblee onu sulle droghe? Quali sono state le risoluzioni più importanti? Cosa è cambiato dalla Midterm Review dello scorso anno? Lo scopriremo insieme, ma solo dopo una doverosa apertura sulla strage silenziosa, del diritto e delle persone, che si sta compiendo all'interno delle carceri del nostro Paese. È tutto pronto? Allora è il momento di cliccare play! Note dell'episodio:- Ancora record di suicidi in carcere: https://www.notizie.com/2025/03/20/da-gennaio-di-questanno-20-suicidi-in-carcere-perche-la-situazione-nelle-carceri-e-drammatica/ - Le sostanze tabellate: https://www.aboutpharma.com/sanita-e-politica/entrano-sotto-il-controllo-internazionale-5-nuove-sostanze-psicoattive-4-oppioidi-sintetici-e-un-farmaco/ - Le risoluzioni votate: https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/commissions/CND/session/68_Session_2025/draft_proposals_draft_reports.html - Tutte le conclusioni del CND: https://www.unodc.org/unodc/frontpage/2025/March/cnd-68-concludes_-six-new-substances-controlled-six-resolutions-adopted.html - La posizione ufficiale americana: https://vienna.usmission.gov/explanations-of-votes-by-the-u-s-delegation-on-resolutions-at-the-68th-commission-on-narcotic-drugs/ - Se si rompe il sistema, il ruolo della società civile al CND: https://www.fuoriluogo.it/speciali/cronache-da-vienna/il-sistema-si-e-rotto-la-dichiarazione-di-idpc/ - La Midterm Review 2024 e il voto sulla riduzione del danno: https://www.fuoriluogo.it/mappamondo/overdose-e-riduzione-del-danno-la-risoluzione-della-cnd/ - Una guida al funzionamento del CND: https://www.fuoriluogo.it/oltrelacarta/video/guida-al-funzionamento-della-commission-on-narcotic-drugs-cnd/ Entra in contatto con noi usando la mail stupefatticast@gmail.com o seguendo su Instagram il @stupefatti_podcast!  Puoi anche iscriverti a STUPEGRAM, il nostro canale telegram, a questo link https://t.me/stupegram!

Buon venerdì Stupendezze nostre! È ancora il Trump show per questo inizio dell'anno e ci auguriamo ci perdonerete se scegliamo di approfondire quell'una che ne fa per le cento che proclama, perché, guarda caso, quella che "ne fa" riguarda le droghe. Questa settimana vi dobbiamo raccontare dei dazi del 25%, imposti e poi sospesi, per le importazioni da Canada e Messico per fermare il traffico di fentanyl dai questi paesi. Ma quanto fentanyl transita dal Canada verso gli Stati Uniti? E ancora, i 10.000 soldati da stanziare al confine ottenuti dopo l'accordo con il Messico serviranno a qualcosa? Ve lo raccontiamo solo dopo aver parlato del destino dell'HHC, principio attivo la cui tabellazione sarà oggetto della prossima Commission on Narcotic Drugs di Vienna.

Nearly 75 years after the United Nations called for the abolition of  coca leaf chewing, the world will have an opportunity to correct this grave historic error. The World Health Organization (WHO), at  the Plurinational State of Bolivia's request,  and supported by Colombia, will conduct a ‘critical review' of the coca leaf over the next year. Based on its findings, the WHO may recommend changes in coca's classification under the UN drug control treaties. The WHO recommendations would be submitted for approval by the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), with voting likely in 2026.  The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Transnational Institute (TNI) will be monitoring the coca review process closely and examining key aspects of the debate. As part of this we are producing a series called “Coca Chronicles”. The first issue of the Coca Chronicles discussed the current classification of the coca leaf in Schedule I of the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (or its effective ban) and Bolivia's initiation of the WHO critical review process. The second issue highlighted three developments during the March 2024 CND session: (1) support for the coca review from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights; (2) Bolivia's call to protect the coca leaf as a genetic resource; and (3) an update on the WHO's preparations for the review.  In this third issue, Anthropologist Wade Davis gives us a deep dive into the history and significance of the coca leaf in the Andean Amazon region.  Wade Davis is a Canadian cultural anthropologist, ethnobotanist, photographer, and writer. He is professor of anthropology and the BC Leadership Chair in Cultures and Ecosystems at Risk at the University of British Columbia. He is a multiple award-winning author of more than 25 books, and has done extensive research into coca leaf, among many other ethnobotanic explorations.  

On March 14-22, 2024, the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) held its 67th annual session in Vienna, Austria. The session saw a landmark vote that may have important repercussions for drug policy, in Latin America and elsewhere.   The commission approved a U.S.-led resolution encouraging countries to implement “harm reduction” measures to respond to drug overdoses and to protect public health.   The vote marks a major breakthrough in civil society's decades-long advocacy to center harm reduction, especially since the U.S. government has a history of blocking all such resolutions, and since the Commission has a longstanding tradition of enactment by a “Vienna Consensus” without votes.   This episode features three guests who helped lead civil society's robust participation at the CND:   Ann Fordham, executive director of International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) Lisa Sanchez, executive director of México Unido Contra la Delincuencia (MUCD) John Walsh, director for drug policy and the Andes at WOLA   The three experts underscore that while the vote on this resolution was a major win in the civil society-led harm reduction fight, it is just one milestone along a longer journey. The fight must continue to ensure this sets the foundation for an international drug policy that truly prioritizes protecting people, views drug addiction as a public health and not a national security issue, and moves away from the normative framework of achieving a “drug free society” through punitive measures and prohibition.   “The prohibition regime has tried to make itself inevitable and ‘forever,' and that's not the case… There's no reason to think that it needs to last forever. In fact, as we said, it was a misfit from the very beginning,” says John Walsh. “Drug use has always existed, it always will. To suggest that we're going to create a ‘drug-free world' is not only futile, but it's downright dangerous because of its consequences… I think this is an opening to think more broadly about not just the UN drug policy space, but what governments need to do for the health, safety, and well-being of their populations.”

I månadens avsnitt diskuterar Peter Moilanen och Pierre Andersson hur kommersiella aktörer utnyttjar olika kryphål i lagstiftningen för att tjäna pengar. Flera exempel som tidigare lyfts i podden har nu också nått större medier som Expressen och Svenska Dagbladet. Peter ger oss en gedigen rapport från en vecka i Wien på möte med Commission of Narcotic Drugs – vad sades egentligen, och spelar det någon roll? En spännande slutsats är att de internationella legaliseringsorganisationerna verkar tappa kraft och inflytande. Läget i Tyskland analyseras, och så pratar vi om hur Oregon nu återgår från en avkriminalisering till en kriminalisering med smarta påföljder.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for greater international cooperation to fight synthetic drugs, like Fentanyl, while Colombia has announced its support for a public health-focused approach to the global drug trade. Blinken and Colombian President Gustavo Petro were speaking at the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna. The New Zealand Drug Foundation's Sarah Helm spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Today's episode is a break from the regular news updates to dive deep into the UN's international drug work, primarily through the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Luke and Kevin will be at their upcoming annual Commission on Narcotic Drugs and discuss their events, involvement, and how other NGO's can get involved, too.  Follow the work of SAM and FDPS below:https://learnaboutsam.org/https://gooddrugpolicy.org/https://thedrugreport.org/On X: https://twitter.com/learnaboutsamhttps://twitter.com/GoodDrugPolicyhttps://twitter.com/KevinSabethttps://twitter.com/LukeNiforatosOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/learnaboutsam

Think of Himachal Pradesh, and you'll most likely think of apples growing there. Soon though, this apple-growing State may legalise a new crop: cannabis. Last month, a five-member panel constituted by the government submitted a report that said the legalisation of cannabis would be a game-changer for the state, enabling it to generate revenue and create employment.  Himachal Pradesh is not the first state to consider this: in 2018, Uttarakhand became the first State in India to legalise the cultivation of cannabis for industrial and scientific purposes. Controlled cultivation has also been allowed in parts of other States including UP and Madhya Pradesh. Cannabis, marijuana or ganja as it is commonly known, has a centuries-old history in India. It has grown wild abundantly, has been cultivated, consumed and parts of this versatile plant have been used for various purposes. In 1985 however, the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act or the NDPS Act banned the use of the resin, flowering and fruit tops of the plant.  Cannabis is made up of more than 120 components. Researchers now know a lot about two of them, cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is a psychoactive substance, while CBD is not. Over the years, countries across the world have begun relaxing their stance on the use of cannabis, for recreation, and exploring the many uses that its extracts can have in both the industrial and significantly, in the medical field. Research has shown that cannabidiol or CBD can help treat childhood epilepsy syndromes that don't respond to anti-seizure medicine, and may also help with anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain. In India too, there is now a growing industry for hemp products and cannabidiol or CBD: in just 3 years at least 50 new startups are reported to have come up in the country. So how does Indian law regulate cannabis? Do the laws need to be eased for medical and industrial uses? Should the recreational use of cannabis be allowed or will legalisation increase the drug abuse burden in India?

Entrevistamos a Zara Snapp, directora del Instituto RIA. Conversamos de su experiencia en la CND (Commission on Narcotic Drugs) legalización de la cannabis, la postura del presidente López Obrador frente al fentanilo y de las mejores prácticas globales para regular las drogas.

Buon Venerdì Stupefan! Quante cose abbiamo sentito in queste settimane che necessitano di una smentita, o quantomeno di un approfondimento, vista la loro portata. Innanzitutto, no, non comprate biglietti per il Canada perché il Paese non comincerà a produrre cocaina destinata alla vendita al dettaglio: vi racconteremo delle smentite a cui è stato costretto il presidente Trudeau dopo le dichiarazioni avventate dei presidenti delle aziende farmaceutiche che hanno avuto l'autorizzazione alla produzione della "bianca" a scopi di ricerca. Avventato è anche l'ultimo report dell'International Narcotic Control Board, commissione Onu che nel suo report 2022 valuta negativamente i progetti di legalizzazione approntati in vari stati firmatari della Convenzione sugli stupefacenti del 1961. Dello stesso anno sembrano poi le dichiarazioni del nostro sottosegretario con delega alle droghe Alfredo Mantovano, in gita a Vienna per la 66° sessione della Commission on Narcotic Drugs delle Nazioni Unite. Cosa avrà detto lui e quali le dichiarazioni del suo esimio collega alla Giustizia, Delmastro Delle Vedove? Lo scoprirete solo cliccando play! Note dell'episodio:- Il Canada produrrà cocaina?

SYNOPSIS:The global War on Drugs has now been in motion for over 6 decades. In the 1960s-80s, with the UN passing its Single Convention on NarcoticDrugs, and later with the US President calling for an international “all-out offensive” attack against #drugwar the global community came together with rigorous contentions against the production, supply, and possession of drugs. Recent studies by the United Nations and other global think tanks however reveal that the War on Drugs has failed to meet its goals. In data collected by the United Nations, global consumption of #opiates, #cocaine  and #marijuana  increased by 34.5%, 27%, and 8% respectively, between 1998-2008. A 2018 report by the International #drugpolicy  Consortium stated that between 2008 and 2018, drug-related deaths had increased globally by 145%. How should then countries re-evaluate their stance on drug use? Does the war need to be harsher and stricter to penalise the violators and perpetrators of #drugtrade , or would a softer approach towards rehabilitation and decriminalization lead to more positive results? As different countries reassess their response to rampant drug use, overdose deaths, and a spike in imprisonment, what should India's stance be?In India, the #ndpsact  Act introduced in 1985 is the main legislation against drug use and #trafficking  . Section 27 of the Act imposes imprisonment or fine on anyone who's found guilty of consumption of any narcotic or psychotropic substance, irrespective of the quantity or kind of substance. The penalties for possession of such substances vary depending upon the quantity and type, following a revision of the Act in 2001. Critics argue that the harsh penalties harm personal users and harass small producers more than any bigger trafficking rackets in India. The debate on #narcotics  in India has so far been limited to legalising Cannabis in recent years, and conversation on synthetic and chemical-based drugs like cocaine or MDMA continues to largely remain one-sided. Advocates for legalising Cannabis use the natural properties of the drug and its socio-religious sanction as an important factor in its legalization. Bhaang is already legal in many Indian states, and marijuana use is already prevalent in even well-monitored religious events like the Kumbh Mela or Kanwad Yatras.  It would also support the creation of more jobs and would lead to an economic boost through increased taxation, and benefit the small farmers and businesses that could legally be regulated for production and supply. The #ncb  however warns against these “surface-level” benefits. Cannabis-induced psychosis, frequent relapses in cannabis addicts and the economic repercussions on marginalised consumers are some reasons expressed by the NCB to continue their suppression of the recreational use of this drug.Explore More at - www.argumentativeindians.comDISCLAIMER:We invite thought leaders from across the ideological spectrum.

US President Biden announced last Friday he would be pardoning thousands of cannabis possession charges, signalling a change of course in drug policy from the home of the War on Drugs, and a path towards decriminalisation of cannabis in the States.  Cannabis has been completely banned in Aotearoa since 1961 after the signing of the UN Convention on Narcotic Drugs, a treaty pushed heavily by the US. Between 1980 and 2022, over 120,000 people have been convicted of cannabis use or possession. In the wake of Biden's announcement, the New Zealand Drug Foundation has renewed calls for reform and launched a petition calling on the government to decriminalise cannabis and pardon possession charges. Spike Keith spoke to New Zealand Drug Foundation Executive Director Sarah Helm about the effects of cannabis criminalisation here, and what decriminalisation would look like.

Psilocybin is quickly becoming recognized as an effective modality for treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Yet, the road to decriminalization and legalization of the medicine in the US and on a global scale is still slow going. Join us today with Chris Koddermann of the International Therapeutic Psilocybin Initiative, or ITPRI, to discuss his push for the ​​UN to reclassifies psilocybin as a less dangerous drug. We begin with Chris's introduction to psychedelics. He shares his motivation to work pro bono to get psilocybin rescheduling passed. We discuss the Convention of Psychotropic Substances of 1971 and what decriminalization actually means. We close with a deep dive on this current psilocybin initiative, what it means to regulate psilocybin, psilocybin availability, and how you can get involved in moving change forward. Chris Koddermann is the co-founder and chair of the Board of Directors for the International Therapeutic Psilocybin Initiative (ITPRI). ITPRI brings together an international coalition of leading psychedelic therapy advocacy and research organizations to promote and secure a rescheduling of psilocybin under the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

Over 10% of undertrials in Indian jails were booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The Supreme Court has said that the bail provision under UAPA is “comparatively less stringent” than that under the NDPS Act. Majority of people booked under this law are not traffickers.  In this episode of The Suno India Show, we will see how the NDPS Act affects not just the few celebrity names that pop up on news headlines, but thousands of common people who languish in Indian jails. Our reporter Suryatapa Mukherjee speaks to Dr Atul Ambekar, a psychiatrist and a Professor at the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi. They discuss how the criminalisation of drug use discourages those who need help from seeking it.

In the latest episode of All Indians Matter, we put under the microscope the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, or the NDPS Act, the law under which Aryan – Shah Rukh Khan’s son – was charged. Did you know that some provisions of it are thought to be more draconian than even the dreaded UAPA? What is the NDPS Act all about and why does it desperately need a relook?

The draconian Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act has been handed over to people who are prone to misuse it. The story we see unfolding on our TV screens is of its blatant misuse. Watch Shekhar Gupta in #NationalInterest

Welcome to the first episode of Mino Bimaadiziwin – a podcast by the Thunderbird Partnership Foundation, thunderbirdpf.org Mino bimaadiziwin means living the good life in the language of the Anishinabe. We chose that as a name for our podcast because it captures what we all hope for. This podcast aims to seek and share insight about addictions and mental health issues that many of our families and communities are dealing with. We're going to be fearless in exploring the tough issues with some of the leading voices in Indigenous wellness. Our aim is the same as Thunderbird's – to work with communities to address substance use and addictions issues by taking a wholistic approach to healing and wellness; one that is grounded in culture, Indigenous ways of knowing, respect, community, and above all, kindness and compassion. This podcast is recorded at Eelūnaapèewi Lahkèewiit, the home of the Lenape, in Southwestern Ontario, where Thunderbird houses its head offices. On this episode, host Sherry Huff is joined by Thunderbird's CEO Dr. Carol Hopkins to discuss the opioid and methamphetamine crisis that is raging through many Indigenous communities. It is described as the worst public health crisis in modern history. Carol and Sherry discuss the roots of the crisis, and tools communities can use to get out if it, including the role of Indigenous culture, and if declaring a state of emergency is the answer. Sherry Huff is a former reporter and producer at CBC Radio and a proud member of Eelūnaapèewi Lahkèewiit. Today, she works for Thunderbird, managing communications. Dr. Carol Hopkins is the chief executive officer of Thunderbird. Carol is also Lenape. She has spent more than twenty years working in the field of First Nations addictions and mental health, with a special focus on the use of traditional knowledge and healing. She holds both a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto and a degree in sacred Indigenous Knowledge, equivalent to a PhD in western-based education systems. She is a First Nations Representative to the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs, an Officer of the Order of Canada, and has recently been recognized with an honorary Doctor of Laws from Western University. She's also someone many people turn to for information about Indigenous addictions and mental health issues. Theme music by Courtney Riley, Chippewas of the Thames First Nation.

At Columbia, Natalie served as a Policy Fellow at the Drug Policy Alliance, where she helped legalize medical marijuana in her home state of New York, and worked to end New York's racist marijuana arrests. Natalie has also worked as a court-mandated therapist for individuals arrested for prostitution and drug-related offenses, and as a middle school guidance counselor at an NYC public school. Natalie's clinical work with trauma survivors spurred her interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy, which she believes can ease a wide variety of both mental and physical ailments by addressing the root cause of individuals' difficulties, rather than their symptoms. Through her work at MAPS, Natalie advocates for research to provide evidence-based alternatives to both the war on drugs and the current mental health paradigm.
