In this episode, Joe Moore is joined by Kat Murti, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), the largest youth-led network working to end the war on drugs. SSDP organizes at the campus, local, state, federal, and international levels, with more than 100 chapters across the U.S. and sister organizations worldwide. Kat shares her personal journey into drug policy reform, from witnessing DEA raids on AIDS patients in the 1990s to fighting for civil liberties as a student at UC Berkeley. She explains how SSDP empowers young people to challenge outdated laws and promote policies rooted in compassion, scientific evidence, and human rights. Topics Discussed The War on Drugs as a War on Us: Kat's early realizations about the drug war's racism, injustice, and destruction of civil liberties. Her Path to SSDP: From working on California's Prop 19 cannabis campaign to serving on SSDP's board and eventually becoming Executive Director. Meta Censorship Campaign: Why Meta's restrictions on drug education and harm reduction content harm communities, and how SSDP is organizing public pressure to protect freedom of information online. Forced Institutionalization & Executive Orders: Kat critiques recent federal moves to expand forced treatment, cuts to naloxone training programs, and the misguided use of tariffs as “solutions” to the overdose crisis. The Fight Against DEA Scheduling of DOI & DOC: Why these research chemicals are vital to neuroscience and medicine, how SSDP challenged the DEA in court, and what's at stake for future research. Illogical Drug Policy & Careerism: How prohibition persists due to political incentives, propaganda, and entrenched bureaucratic interests. Building a Better Future: Realigning incentive structures, embracing harm reduction, and supporting community-based solutions to drug use. Key Takeaways The war on drugs is deeply racist, anti-science, and erodes civil liberties. Meta's censorship of harm reduction information actively endangers lives. Forced treatment doesn't work—addressing social conditions and providing safe housing does. DOI and DOC, rarely if ever used recreationally, are critical to medical research, and scheduling them would halt decades of progress. Real reform means both ending prohibition and creating environments where people feel supported, connected, and empowered.

He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master's thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients.His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary's Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner.His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist.

In this episode, Joe interviews Kat Murti: executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), the largest nationwide network of students fighting to replace the War on Drugs with policies rooted in evidence, compassion, and human rights. She talks about how she became interested in drug policy, which not surprisingly aligns with the many problems of The War on Drugs: how it's a war on people, personal liberty, and our communities; how laws are not effective in enforcing morality; and how getting in trouble with the law often incentivizes more illegal activity. We all know that our current system doesn't work and that the drug war no longer appeals to most reasonable people, but how can we move towards sensible policy? She discusses previous successes (both at SSDP and before), and some of their current projects, from the work they're doing with fentanyl strip training and distribution, to education work at festivals and their program, “Just Say Know.” She talks about: How drug policy isn't going to look the same everywhere and shouldn't: How do we effectively use different models in different places together for the benefit of everyone? The dangers of forcing drug users through drug courts and treatment centers The repealing of Oregon's Measure 110 and how it's unfair to blame its failure on problems that already existed in the state Their new focus on how the War on Drugs specifically affects women and reproductive rights, inspired by Louisiana recently scheduling Mifepristone and Misoprostol and much more. The SSDP's biggest battle now is fighting the DEA's attempted scheduling of DOI and DOC, two compounds that have been used in research for decades and pose no real threat to safety – which would drastically derail a ton of research. They just completed a 10-day hearing with the DEA. Watch Joe and Hamilton Morris' breakdown here, and stay tuned to SSDP and PT for updates.  For links, head to the show notes page.

Kat Murti is the Executive Director of SSDP, Students For Sensible Drug Policy, an advocacy org working to end the War On Drugs and ensure access to research and civil liberties. She joins us today to raise public awareness of the proposed scheduling of DOI and DOC by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. DOI and DOC are two research chemicals that are vitally important to psychedelic research - SSDP is taking the DEA to court to ensure that these two chemicals remain unscheduled, a process which we discuss on the episode today in addition to covering a lot of ground around drug policy reform and the War On Drugs history and aims at large.

In the 1990s, a new federal law banning any student with a drug conviction from receiving financial aid led to the formation of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP). Created online by a swarm of young activists in the early days of the internet, the organization quickly grew into the largest student organization in the United States. Today SSDP has over 5,000 active members on 300 college campuses around the world, all of them dedicated to advocating for the legalization of cannabis and the end of the War on Drugs. To hear the antiestablishment history of this game-changing organization, Abdullah and Bean sit down with founding member Kris Krane, who has also served as SSDP's Executive Director.

The Upreneur podcast has partnered up with SCORE, hosted by Jeremy Straub, to help bring engaging conversations with today's top leaders and business owners. In today's episode, we spoke with Jeffrey Zucker, Co-Founder of Green Lion Partners, about how the cannabis industry is growing and is in need of lawyers, accounts, and more.  We talked about how Jeffrey jumps headfirst into his entrepreneurial endeavors and figures it out.   Green Lion Partners is a Denver-based business strategy firm focused on early-stage development amongst firms in the cannabis industry. Green Lion has also developed Natural Order Supply, an agricultural supply company. Mike Bologna and Jeffrey Zucker, Co-Founders of Green Lion Partners, also co-own Dip Devices, which brings high-end, innovative products to the ever-expanding vaporizer market. Green Lion Partners is a business strategy firm focused on providing consulting services, direct investments, and strategic partnerships to early-stage companies in the regulated cannabis industry. Their core focus is elevating the public perception of the industry while pushing it forward toward more sophisticated and socially responsible business practices. As a result of Jeffrey's and Green Lion's combined accomplishments in the industry, Marijuana Policy Project, the largest organization in the U.S. focused solely on ending marijuana prohibition, selected Jeffrey to serve on the Board of Directors.  Jeffrey is always open to hearing new business ideas of any kind and is happy to get involved with projects, people, and ideas in which he believes. His business decisions are determined not only based upon making a profit but also—inspired by his late father's mission of Tikkun Olam (repair of the world)—with the goal of improving the lives of others as much as possible.  Dip Devices was founded in 2014 and launched the flagship Dipper in January 2017. Dip products are designed in Denver, CO where the company is headquartered. Dip Devices strives to be the leader in bringing premium, innovative vaporizers and accessories to the dynamic cannabis marketplace. We value quality, originality, social consciousness, and caring   Dip Devices has always had a dedication to innovation as well as philanthropy with the devices they create and with this one, 1% of all EVRI sales will be donated to drug policy reform via MPP.org and SSDP.org.

In this episode, we talk with Vilmarie Narloch, Psy.D as she shares how her journey through addiction research, humanistic healing, policy reform, and academia intersect at her place in the psychedelic field. Vilmarie wears many hats but is best known for her work at Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) as Director of Education. She received her M.A. in Counseling and Psychological Services at St. Mary's University of Minnesota and went on to pursue a doctorate of psychology in clinical psychology at Roosevelt University (where she also became a member of SSDP). Focused on patient-first clinical work and expanding access to harm reduction services, Vilmarie focused her research on substance use disorder and destigmatizing drug use. With her dissertation, she revealed that students were seeking unbiased, evidence-based information about drugs, and she later delivered by establishing SSDP's national Just Say Know peer drug education program. Vilmarie also launched SSDP's Psychedelic Pipeline, a project that bridges student mentees entering the psychedelic space to mentors who currently investigate psychedelic medicine. When Vilmarie is not ending the war on drugs, she is also co-creating Sana Healing Collective,  a safe haven and patient-forward ketamine assisted psychotherapy clinic.

Die Aufmerksamkeit der öffentlichen Debatte zur Drogenpolitik widmet sich meist nur den illegalisierten Substanzen. Doch wie schlägt sich Deutschland eigentlich in der Regulation der legalen Substanzen? Diesem Thema widme ich mich heute gemeinsam mit Julian. Er hat sich im Zuge seines Masterstudiums intensiv mit dem Thema beschäftigt und setzt sich im Rahmen seines Engagements bei Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) gemeinsam mit der Initiative #mybrainmychoice für einen neuen Diskurs über Nichtraucher:innenschutz in der Berliner Clubkultur ein. Julian wird uns in dieser Folge die Abgründe der Tabakindustrie aufzeigen und wie die Tabakpolitik nicht dagegen ankommt bzw. auch nicht wirklich dagegen ankommen will. Freut euch auf krasse Aha-Erlebnisse und Skandale über die man nur ungläubig den Kopf schütteln kann. Den Artikel zum Thema Nichtraucher:innenschutz findet ihr unter folgendem Link: https://mybrainmychoice.de/nichtraucherschutz _____________________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychoaktiv.podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/psychoaktivcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychoaktiv.podcast

Delighted to have Ger Roe on the podcast to discuss how Ireland's drug policies effects the youths in Dublin that he works with as a Youth Worker. Gerard Roe is an award nominated youth worker, activist and father from Dublin. Gerard is a graduate Social Scientist of Maynooth University and has been involved in youth work for over a decade working in a number of youth projects across Dublin's most disadvantaged areas, including eight years in a groundbreaking national youth organisation. Gerard has led the development of two drug outreach services and ran a number of harm reduction campaigns in his career. Gerards specialties are in harm reduction and drug education and has a particular interest in the area of drug policy reform. Gerard is an advocate for legalization of cannabis and decriminalisation of drugs for personal use and went before the Dept of Justice, Defence and Equality to argue in favour of decriminalisation resulting in a report in favour of this approach. Gerard's work has also seen him play a role in the development of Ireland's current national drug strategy Reducing Harm-Supporting Recovery. Gerard featured in an RTE documentary which sparked a nationwide debate on how Ireland needs to change its approach to dealing with drugs. Gerard is passionate about helping young people reach their full potential and keeping them safer from the harms of drugs and drug policy.

This week I speak to Rob Hofmann, who is the Movement Building Fellow for the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific Regions with the Students for Sensible Drug Policy or SSDP. SSDP is “the largest global youth-led network dedicated to ending the War on Drugs.” (source)  This is the first of the episodes on the topic of cannabis legalization. With Rob, we're going to talk about cannabis policy more broadly and what constitutes well-thought out legislation in his eyes.  The conversation with Rob starts with how he got involved in drug policy activism in the first place. We then talk about the ballot measures from election day in November 2020 and the MORE Act that passed through the House of Representatives on Friday, December 4th. Rob and I then talked about some general cannabis policy priorities going into 2021 and 2022. We also touch on the topic of coops and the role that they can play.  If you're interested in getting involved in SSDP, you can reach out to Rob on Robert@ssdp.org. I also added links to SSDP in the show notes. You can learn more about SSDP on their site (https://ssdp.org/about/) or by following them on Twitter (@ssdpglobal).  Feel free to reach out to me over email (DrugsHistory@gmail.com) or via Twitter (@DrugsHistory).  Be well! 

This week, I interview Julia Hilbert, who is the chair of the board of directors at Students of Sensible Drug Policy, the president of DanceSafe Pittsburgh, and works part-time doing direct service amongst other things at Prevention Point Pittsburgh. We talk about her journey getting into harm reduction and drug policy activism, how you can get involved if you're interested, what harm reduction is, what role stigma plays, and what changes she hopes to see during her career    You can learn more at:  SSDP.org DanceSafe.org Pppgh.org   Feel free to reach out over email (DrugsHistory@gmail.com) or Twitter (@DrugsHistory).    Be well!

In this episode, Giulia is in conversation with Hannah Head (@_HannaHead_), a PhD student, an activist, and a member of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) UK (@ssdpuk). We talk about the values of harm reduction, the role of drugs in young people's lives, her work with SSDP and the need for universities to drop the ‘just say no' rhetoric and develop more realistic, responsible and active harm reduction approaches to drug use by students to prevent drug related deaths.

On this episode, we are taking a trip with Clayton Ickes, president of Psychedelic Club. We talk about our tendency to see psychedelics as a “savior,” what a legit psychedelic renaissance would look like, and wrestle with thorny issues of colonization and privilege vis-à-vis movements around drug liberation. Oh, and there’s some light discussion of Japanese death cults. Afterwards, Emily and Sarah break down our weird tendency to make people into saviors, specifically in regards to RGB (fare thee well), and discuss how easy it is to make a reasonable, nuanced point that is well received on social media. https://www.psychedeliclub.com/ Featured music is “Travels” by Summer Alicia, courtesy of the artist. Check her out on all the streaming platforms and on Instagram @ susummasummz GUEST BIO Clayton Ickes is a grateful and passionate voice of lived experience. Harm reductionist, MDMA study night attendant, and former SSDP chapter leader, his goal is to become an above ground provider of psychedelic medicine.

What scared me about this bug is how EASY it is to execute, no MITM, no special software.. its all exploiting of existing software.. Let us discuss The SSDP engine in Firefox for Android (68.11.0 and below) can be tricked into triggering Android intent URIs with zero user interaction. This attack can be leveraged by attackers on the same WiFi network and manifests as applications on the target device suddenly launching, without the users' permission, and conducting activities allowed by the intent.

Veterans chat about the covid quarantine and how it ain't so bad; it sucks but it ain't so bad. Edit: It's not you, it's us. The mic cuts out when we switch screens. It's shame really, some of our best work. Kinda stuff that gets you an award you didn't know existed. Oh well. It's only a couple minutes. DISCLAIMER: None of us intends to represent or pretends to represent the official position of any agency, on any topic. We may be informed by experience, but that does not give us the right to pretend we speak on behalf of anyone other than ourselves and The School of Leadership and Madness. So we don't. We're broken toy soldiers trying to glue ourselves back together. We will fail and we will say crazy things. Change your lives, YES. But do not do it based on a YouTube video you stumbled upon. Do it because you already knew. Get counsel, seek allies, make friends. We can ramble into cameras - they can help you. If you have no friends or allies, you haven't met them yet. Do great things, but never because we told you to. Do them when you know it's time and you're ready.

The NSW state election on on Saturday the 23rd of March 2019. Nick is joined by Emily Blatchford, a researcher of alcohol and other drugs and treasurer of Students for Sensible Drug Policy Australia. SSDP have prepared this scorecard for a selection of NSW political parties contesting the upcoming election.INTERVIEWSWe spoke with candidates from The Greens and Keep Sydney Open.David Shoebridge is an environmental and social justice activist and former industrial law barrister. He has been a Greens member of the New South Wales Legislative Council since September 2010 and will be recontesting his seat at the NSW state election.Tyson Koh is from the Keep Sydney Open party, a political party that began because they weren't being heard. When night-time safety was a headline story, they saw it as an opportunity to build an even more vibrant and inclusive nightlife, supported by 24-hour transport, smarter policing and better services. This would have enabled NSW culture and economy to grow while making the city safer. Instead, NSW got lockout laws. READ MORE...

Betty Aldworth joins us by phone and shares the extent of the growing Cannabis market: "In a new state, there are going to be countless opportunities to influence. I think that if you are based in Missouri and you aren't already having a conversation about how you get placed on a working group or a task force, how you participate in the regulatory process in building up these laws, you are already behind the ball. These groups are being formed now."

Ministry of Extraction Episode #2 with Betty Aldworth: Students for Sensible Drug Policy, War on Drugs, and Cannabis Ministry of Extraction sheds light on the various interactions connected to the extraction phase of the seed to consumption journey. We hold conversations with scientists, inventors, engineers, marketers, chemists, farmers, and visionaries to understand the various approaches and interactions with cannabis plants and most importantly the human factor throughout the extraction experience. On Episode #2, we drop into a flow with Betty Aldworth and Matthew Anderson as we discuss the connections between SSDP, the war on drugs, and cannabis. Betty Aldworth joined the SSDP team in February 2014 as Executive Director and has since led the organization through its most substantial growth: the member base and campuses on which SSDP is present have doubled; staff and offices supporting those members have tripled; global presence has quadrupled; as a result the policy change and education efforts members are leading have grown immeasurably. Since 2009, Betty has specialized in community outreach, public relations, advocacy, and policy reform as a consultant to or staffer for cannabis-related businesses and nonprofit organizations. She served as spokesperson and advocacy director for Colorado’s successful 2012 Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the collaborative committee responsible for legalizing, taxing and regulating marijuana for adults in Colorado, and was the Deputy Director of the National Cannabis Industry Association in 2013, the organization’s fastest year of growth. Prior to her work in marijuana policy and medical cannabis, she was a volunteer leadership professional with some of Denver’s most well-respected nonprofit organizations, ultimately leading a team of 4,000 volunteers who contributed over 40,000 hours of service annually.
