Matt Willis sits down with Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading experts on drugs and the brain, to answer a question so many people carry in silence: why can't I just stop?David explains how addiction changes the brain, why willpower isn't always enough, and why understanding the biology can help replace shame with compassion.He also explores the emerging science of psychedelics and their potential to help people break free from deeply rooted patterns. Your brain has been changed. That's why this is hard. But it can recover, and the science is beginning to show us how.This episode explores Addiction, The Brain & Recovery, Shame & Stigma, and Psychedelics.Need Support?Samaritans: Call 116 123 or visit samaritans.orgNarcotics Anonymous: na.orgAlcoholics Anonymous: alcoholics-anonymous.org.ukMental Health Mates: mentalhealthmates.co.ukShout: https: giveusashout.orgIAPT: https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/adults/nhs-talking-therapies/Randox

Kojo Koram—legal scholar and acclaimed author of Uncommon Wealth—travels across five continents to examine how criminalized substances are being rebranded as commodities in a new billion-dollar industry. Legal cannabis dispen­saries now trade in what once led to life sentences. Psychedelics have become fertile ground for biotech. But for all these developments, prisons still swell with underprivileged users and addicts, and enforcement falls hardest along lines of race and class.   We'll discuss.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   READ THE WEEKLY TIR NEWSLETTER HERE: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1853497   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

John Agnello and Stewart Lerman kick off a new Record of the Week with The War on Drugs' Red Eyes, off 2014's Lost in the Dream. They trace the two-year process behind the track (six or seven studios, by their own count), break down the harmonic choices that give it its pull, and swap stories about how they each got hooked on Adam Granduciel's band in the first place.

Send us Fan MailExploring the complex legal position of psychedelics in the USA today and the simple history of how they became highly illegal in the first place: The Nixon "War on Drugs". Nixon's domestic policy chief later admitted the war on drugs targeted Nixon's enemies: "the antiwar left and Black people".Support the show

Lewis Rice spent 26 years inside the DEA, working undercover cases and helping take down some of the biggest drug traffickers in America in the 1970's, 80's & 90's. After earning his Criminal Justice degree from St. John's University, he joined the DEA and went on to coordinate major international investigations targeting violent cartels in Miami — cases that seized millions of dollars in cash and thousands of kilos of cocaine and heroin. He worked directly with infamous Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas after Lucas became a government cooperator, using his information to help convict major traffickers. Rice eventually rose through DEA leadership positions in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York before becoming Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's flagship New York office — making him the youngest SAC in the entire agency at the time. After 26 years on the front lines of America's war on drugs, he retired in 2001. _____________________________________________  #miami #truecrimestories #cops #mafia #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Economist and Senior Fellow from the Mises Institute, Dr. Mark Thornton. He paints a dire picture of the global economy, arguing that widespread socialist policies are driving governments to extreme borrowing, money printing, and protectionism. He points to the trade war and real conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as direct consequences, which have disrupted diesel, crude oil, and fertilizer production. This creates a global pinch on agriculture and mining, threatening food supplies and crop yields, while strategic energy reserves are depleted, leaving economies vulnerable. The resulting higher fuel and food prices are squeezing consumers worldwide, whose wages are failing to keep pace with inflation, leading to a systematic harm of the working class while asset bubbles benefit the wealthy. The discussion turns to the unsustainable sovereign debt bubble, with Dr. Thornton noting that when government debt exceeds 100% of GDP, economies become trapped, risking either a deflationary depression or a hyperinflationary collapse. He sees the current fiat money system as steering toward the latter, especially if central banks are forced to monetize debt to suppress rising yields. Unlike the post-World War II era, when the U.S. grew out of its debt through demobilization and global demand, today's conditions make a similar escape unlikely without drastic government restructuring. On a more constructive note, Dr. Thornton is bullish on gold and silver, citing fundamental support from ongoing central bank purchases and restricted mining supply. He anticipates that once short-term speculators re-enter the market, precious metals and mining stocks could see a significant upswing. He also suggests the possibility of a government-led gold revaluation as a short-term political tactic, though it would not solve long-term structural problems.

What happens when a police lieutenant becomes one of America's most powerful advocates for psychedelic medicine? In this conversation, Dr. Victoria Maizes and Dr. Andrew Weil sit down with Lt. Sarko Gergerian.He is a Massachusetts police lieutenant, clinical mental health counselor, and co-founder of CLEAR (Community and Law Enforcement Assisted Recovery). Sarko traces his journey from Northeastern University philosophy student to police officer to trained psychedelic therapist, and explains why he has spent over fifteen years as an outspoken critic of the war on drugs. Also covered is the urgent call for first responders to have legal access to the same psychedelic therapies now being fast-tracked by the federal government.With momentum building from federal fast-tracking of psychedelic research to growing state decriminalization movements, Sarko makes an urgent and compelling case for why first responders deserve legal, accessible psychedelic care now. Join us to Lt. Gergerian's insight on what it means to serve and protect.

Unter Pablo Escobar und dem Medllin-Kartell wurde Kolumbien in den 1970er und 80er Jahren zum grössten Kokainlieferanten der Welt. Mit dafür verantwortlich war Carlos Lehder, der Logistiker. Als Erster erkannte er, dass Kokain in den USA die neue Freizeitdroge werden und Marihuana damit den Rang ablaufen würde. Er baute eine riesige Schmuggel-Lieferkette von Kolumbien in die USA auf. Doch sein Erfolg währte nicht ewig - und lange Zeit sah es so aus, als würde Lehder für seine Taten den Rest seines Lebens im Gefängnis verbringen. Wieso es nicht dazu kam und wie er stattdessen heute als Rentner in seiner kolumbianischen Heimatstadt sein Dasein fristet, hat er unserem Korrespondenten Alexander Busch bei einem Treffen erzählt. Gast: Alexander Busch, NZZ-Korrespondent für Lateinamerika Host: Sarah Ziegler Redaktion: Alice Grosjean Das ganze Treffen mit Carlos Lehder kannst du in Alexanders Reportage in der [NZZ](https://www.nzz.ch/international/der-mann-der-pablo-escobar-zum-fliegen-brachte-ld.10009008) nachlesen.

What makes The War on Drugs sound so familiar, yet so completely their own? Drawing on the widescreen sweep of classic American rock, Adam Granduciel and his band transform guitars, synthesisers and repetition into something hazy, hypnotic and strangely timeless. We explore the music, influences and atmosphere of The War on Drugs — and ask how heartland rock became a dreamscape.In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.https://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan, Reegs and Cris take on Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, the Oscar-winning 2000 ensemble drama about the war on drugs, starring Michael Douglas, Benicio del Toro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán, Erika Christensen, Dennis Quaid and several thousand other people you recognise from better-lit rooms.The episode begins with Reegs back from France, a heroic return to walking football, a 6–2 win, snacks from Grand Marché, Rioja on the table and the usual sense that the podcast might be more structured if anyone genuinely wanted that. Recent viewing includes Dan on Early Man, Ted Lasso and Grown Ups, Reegs going deep into Reacher, Cris bringing a bit of cartel-adjacent homework energy, and Sidey watching Barry plus Netflix serial-killer thriller The Whisper Man, a film he enjoys until the last-minute ghost business turns up and starts knocking over the furniture.Before the main film, the dads count down Steven Soderbergh and Soderbergh-adjacent favourites. Cris explains how Benicio del Toro led him towards Traffic and Che, while the conversation takes in the myth and reality of Che Guevara, Soderbergh's habit of editing and shooting under pseudonyms, and the frankly annoying fact that he appears to have made several films since this paragraph began. The list includes Solaris, Contagion, Syriana, Logan Lucky, Erin Brockovich, Magic Mike, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Thirteen, Haywire, Her, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Sidey's beloved Out of Sight, which he still considers a 10-out-of-10 film thanks to Clooney, J-Lo, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Keener, David Holmes and the sort of charm that should probably be illegal.Then it is time for Traffic, a film the dads remember as serious, long, colour-coded and very much trying to win awards, which, to be fair, it did. The review follows the film's interlocking stories: Javier Rodriguez trying to do good police work in Mexico while the system around him is already captured by cartel politics; DEA agents Montel Gordon and Ray Castro attempting to protect an informant long enough to bring down Carl Ayala; Helena Ayala discovering that being a wealthy pregnant society wife becomes much more complicated when your husband is dragged away by federal agents; and Robert Wakefield becoming America's new drug czar just as his own daughter Caroline falls into addiction.The dads dig into the film's bleak central point: the drug war is not really a war that can be won, because every apparent victory is also part of somebody else's business model. Sidey describes the film as showing where drugs come from, how they move, how people try to stop them, where demand lives and why the whole machine is so futile. Cris particularly likes the Mexico storyline and the way the film's colour palette helps you instantly know which world you are in, while Reegs connects the whole thing to the kind of institutional fatalism later explored in The Wire.A major talking point is the subtitle disaster. Dan and Sidey both watched versions where the Spanish sections were not properly translated, which is not ideal when huge parts of your Oscar-winning bilingual drama are in Spanish. Dan's version apparently just told him people were “speaking Spanish”, which he had already managed to work out by being awake. Reegs uses this as a chance to grumble, correctly, about the loss of physical media and the way streaming platforms can serve up broken versions of films without anyone seeming to care.The film itself gives the dads plenty to chew on: Benicio del Toro's quiet moral centre, the funfair arrest and “don't shoot the clown”, Luis Guzmán's excellent Ray Castro and his brutal car-bomb exit, Catherine Zeta-Jones going from shocked wife to ruthless operator, Dennis Quaid sniffing around the Ayala money, Caroline Wakefield's awful spiral, Michael Douglas having to confront the war on drugs happening in his own house, and Javier's beautifully modest final request for electricity so kids can play baseball at night.Verdicts are positive, but not breathless. Sidey thinks Traffic is extremely well made, handheld, fluid, serious and still strong, but also calls it a one-and-done rather than a film he would rush to revisit. Dan struggles more, partly because the missing subtitles kneecapped the experience and partly because the film is long, worthy and occasionally lost up its own arse; if forced to choose, he is watching Gladiator twice before watching Traffic twice. Cris is warmer on it, praising the acting, the structure, the Mexican material and the way the separate stories connect without turning into a neat crossover event.So the Bad Dads verdict lands somewhere between strong recommend and medium-well: a serious, grown-up Soderbergh drama about drugs, power, money, family and futility, admired more than loved, and improved enormously if your streaming service can manage the advanced technical feature known as subtitles.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

La vuelta de The War on Drugs es una de las alegrías que esperábamos de 2026 y ya está aquí, con 'Who’s That', lo primero nuevo que publica Adam Granduciel desde 2022. Cuatro años de espera para una canción que, según cuenta él mismo, compuso en apenas diez minutos, «entre el primer café y dejar a los niños en la escuela». Tranquilo: nosotros tampoco seríamos capaces de hacer una canción así en esas circunstancias. Pero no todos podemos ser genios; alguien tenía que limitarse a ser un soldado de la rutina.Vuestro Rayito de Luz: Belle and Sebastian - Judy and the Dream of HorsesResidencias artísticas, con Rodrigo Sorogoyen: Jeanette - Frente a frentePlaylist:Rhye, Poolside - Feel Your WeightLEISURE - SundownJungle, Channel Tres - I’ve Been in LoveVera Fauna - Te veo bienRufus T.

In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, Rob Morris and Ruairi take a deep dive into the Trump administration's savage approach to Latin America, arguing that U.S. policy has shifted toward a far more confrontational and coercive model than at any point in almost a century.The conversation explores the historical roots of U.S. involvement in the region, from the Monroe Doctrine and early 20th-century interventions to Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy, before examining what some call the "Donroe Doctrine"—a return to overt pressure, military threats, sanctions, and open corruption and political intervention across the Americas.Rob and Ruairi discuss:Why current U.S. policy toward countries including Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina represents a significant break from previous administrations.The use of tariffs, sanctions, military deployments, and anti-cartel operations as tools of foreign policy.Why the "war on drugs" is always a justification for broader geopolitical ambitions.China's growing economic influence in Latin America and whether Washington's response is strategically self-defeating.The long-term consequences of militarizing U.S.-Latin American relations and what this could mean for regional stability.Throughout the discussion, Rob argues that history offers an important warning: policies based on coercion may deliver short-term victories but often undermine America's long-term influence throughout the hemisphere.If you're interested in U.S. foreign policy, Latin American politics, geopolitics, or the future of the Western Hemisphere, this episode provides a wide-ranging historical perspective on one of the defining regional issues of the Trump era.Robs Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Colombia is one of the most unequal countries in the world regarding agriculture and land ownership. Violence in the Colombian countryside has often allowed corporate agriculture to displace land once held by small farmers, known as “campesinos”, and transform it into new frontiers for capital.Jaskiran Kaur Chohan tells Alasdair that “armed conflict undermines the productive systems of campesinos, which reinforces the corporate food regime and the modernisation of agriculture”. They discuss how corporate food regimes take root in the aftermath, and how the country's smallholders can survive. Dr Kaur Chohan is a political ecologist at the University of Bristol, whose work focuses on rural communities in Colombia and the intersection of violence, conflict, and agriculture.Further reading: 'Violent conflict, capitalism and insurgent food sovereignty', The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2026'Have monopolies broken agricultural markets?', The Land and Climate Podcast, 2025'The corporate food regime in conflict zones: Armed violence and agriculture in the Zona de Reserva Campesina-Valle del Río Cimitarra, Colombia', Geoforum, 2024'Sugar cane is eroding Colombian biodiversity', Land and Climate Review, 2024'Tough Tradeoffs: Coca crops and agrarian alternatives in Colombia' , International Journal of Drug Policy, 2021'Slow violence and corporate greening in the war on drugs in Colombia', International Affairs, 2021 'Zonas de Reserva Campesina: ¿Estrategia de Desarrollo Regional y contra el Desplazamiento?', Mama Coca, 2020'Grassroots masquerades: development, paramilitaries, and land laundering in Colombia', Geoforum, 2013Broken Republic: Three Essays, Arundhati Roy, 2011Send us Fan MailFind all our latest investigations, features and interviews at www.landclimate.org

As an undercover police officer Neil Woods' job was to infiltrate drug gangs and put their leaders behind bars, but he says his work gradually convinced him that he was doing more harm than good. Since leaving the force he has become one of the UK's foremost campaigners for drug policy reform. Neil tells this week's host, Jenny Kleeman, why he believes the war on drugs has failed, and sets out his alternative vision for legalising and regulating the use of cannabis, cocaine, heroin and other products. He thinks drugs on prescription or sold with age and dose restrictions, as well as health advice, would be the best way to keep users safe and wrest control of the market away from organised crime.But, of course, Neil has his opponents. We ask whether the war on drugs really is failing, if legalisation would really eradicate crime and the black market, and whether legalisation might actually increase drug use and deaths.- WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  - Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical are released every Thursday and Monday.Series Producer: Simon Tulett Producer: Nathan Gower Technical Producer: Mike Regaard Senior News Editor: Sam Bonham

Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. A planned drug arrest in Mississippi suddenly erupted into a deadly ambush. Gunfire rained down from a sniper positioned on a hill. One police officer was struck three times and barely survived. An armed drug dealer was also shot. For Merle Temple and his fellow narcotics officers, it became a brutal reminder of the risk and danger they faced during America's first war on drugs. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. It was the late 1970s, a time before the bulletproof vest became standard equipment in police work. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Temple, a former captain with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, shares his remarkable story on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. His experiences later inspired multiple novels filled with crime, corruption, faith, betrayal, and survival. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio A Drug Arrest Turned Into a Sniper Ambush Temple and his team were preparing for a buy-bust operation targeting suspected drug dealers. They knew the arrest would be dangerous, but they had no idea that the suspects had allegedly positioned a sniper above them. Just before leaving for the operation, Temple experienced an overwhelming feeling that he needed to turn around. “God scared me to death,” Temple said. “He commanded me to go back and get the bulletproof vests.” Temple initially resisted the warning. Body armor was not commonly worn by police officers in 1976, and his unit had only two vests available. Still, he returned and retrieved them. That decision may have saved lives. “They let it get away from them,” Temple recalled about the attempted arrest. “The drug dealers had a sniper with a rifle up on a hill, and he rained fire down on us. It was a terrible day.” The scene exploded into chaos. A police officer was shot three times and came close to death. A suspect was also struck by gunfire. The heavy protective vests Temple had gone back to retrieve suddenly became critically important. Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. It was a real-life Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper story, one that revealed the extraordinary dangers faced by early narcotics officers. Before Bulletproof Vests Became Standard Police Equipment Modern officers routinely recognize the importance of body armor, but police equipment was much different during the 1970s. Temple's unit had only two protective vests, and wearing one was far from commonplace. Narcotics agents frequently worked alone, without the tactical teams, communications technology, surveillance equipment, and immediate backup available to many officers today. “In those days, the unit was small,” Temple said. “There really wasn't any backup, you were on your own.” That isolation increased the risk of every undercover meeting, drug purchase, vehicle stop, and arrest. Agents could find themselves surrounded by armed suspects miles away from help. Temple repeatedly faced that reality during his career. From FBI Fingerprint Technician to Undercover Drug Agent Before entering narcotics enforcement, Temple worked as a fingerprint technician for the FBI. He later served as a deputy sheriff and became one of Mississippi's earliest designated narcotics officers. Temple attended Ole Miss and finished school around the time President Richard Nixon was launching the national “war on drugs.” He joined the newly formed Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and spent much of his career working undercover. “It was exciting,” he said. “I didn't know what I was getting into.” Temple eventually became an area commander and captain with the agency. His assignments placed him inside a violent criminal world where exposure could mean kidnapping, torture, or death. A 1989 profile in The Augusta Chronicle reported that Temple had been held hostage by two suspects while working undercover. It also described his survival of a sniper ambush carried out by cocaine dealers. Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. His life often seemed more unbelievable than anything an author could invent. A Gun to His Head and a Shotgun Against His Stomach One of Temple's most terrifying undercover encounters occurred near Tylertown, Mississippi. While posing as part of the drug world, he allowed two suspected dealers to get into his vehicle. They directed him into a remote area and eventually took him to a small shack built on stilts. There, his cover, and his life, were placed in immediate danger. One man reportedly pressed a pistol against Temple's head. The other held a shotgun against his stomach. “Images of my life really did flash past my mind,” Temple said. He knew he could be killed at any moment. There was no nearby team waiting to rescue him and no guarantee that anyone would find him if he disappeared. Temple later acknowledged that youth sometimes made him feel invulnerable. He took chances and made mistakes that, by his own admission, he should not have survived. Drug Dealers Allegedly Planned Where to Bury Him The threats against Temple did not end with undercover operations. According to Temple, drug dealers once discussed where they would bury his body after hired killers were supposed to murder him. His career exposed him to criminals who were willing to do far more than threaten an officer to protect their operations. Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Yet Temple continued his work. “Work was a crusade in those days,” he said. That crusade eventually collided with another powerful force: politics. Temple said corrupt political figures attempted to weaken the narcotics agency and install their own person inside the organization. The controversy was leaked to the Clarion-Ledger and became headline news. He also claimed that witness tampering occurred and that political figures were searching for a way to frame him. “It was politics that caused me to leave,” Temple said. “There were some corrupt politicians who wanted to clip our wings.” When Truth Became the Foundation for Fiction After leaving law enforcement, Temple transformed his experiences into the Michael Parker book series. Although the novels are presented as fiction, they draw heavily from Temple's career as a deputy sheriff, undercover agent, narcotics captain, corporate manager, political campaign chairman, and Christian ministry founder. Merle Temple is the author of: Deputy: Once Upon a Time in Mississippi Blood on the Ground A Ghostly Shade of Pale A Rented World The Redeemed: A Leap of Faith Resurrection: Home Before Dark The stories explore violent crime, political corruption, moral conflict, redemption, and the intersection of government, business, and organized criminal activity. Some of Temple's real experiences were reportedly so shocking that a district attorney told him audiences would consider them too unbelievable for a movie. Temple's response was simple: they actually happened. Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His life gives new meaning to the expression, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” “A Ghostly Shade of Pale” and the Michael Parker Series Among Temple's most recognized works is the book A Ghostly Shade of Pale. According to Temple's biography, it became the all-time bestselling novel at the Barnes & Noble store in Tupelo, Mississippi. His books have been used in middle school, high school, and college classrooms. They have also reached readers in church libraries, shelters, and prisons across numerous states. Temple signed books for members of the casts of Criminal Minds and Major Crimes in Hollywood. His work was also optioned for a proposed television series based on his extraordinary life. His story extends far beyond undercover police work. Temple founded a highly successful Christian ministry inside the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He served as Mississippi's state criminal justice chairman for Ronald Reagan and later became Georgia chairman of the Reagan Legacy Project. The Officer, Author, and Survivor Behind the Story Merle Temple's journey is filled with moments that sound as though they were created for a crime thriller: undercover drug buys, hostage situations, assassination plots, sniper fire, political corruption, and unexpected acts of faith. But behind those stories was a real officer confronting real danger. The sniper ambush remains one of the most powerful chapters of his life. His last-minute decision to retrieve two bulletproof vests demonstrated how one choice can separate survival from tragedy. Cop Down, Shot on Drug Arrest by a Sniper, The True Story. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. The officer struck three times survived, but the attack exposed the enormous risk Temple and his team faced while confronting armed drug organizations with limited manpower and equipment. Temple's experiences eventually gave him the material, and the mission, to become an author.

Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

Nearly twenty years ago, one of Scotland's most respected legal figures delivered a devastating verdict on the war on drugs: prohibition was not working.In this episode, former detectives Simon McLean and Tom Wood revisit the views of Lord John McCluskey and ask whether decades of criminalisation have reduced drug use — or helped create the hugely profitable black market exploited by organised crime.Simon argues for a radically different approach built around decriminalisation, regulation and rehabilitation. Tom challenges the practicalities: who would supply regulated drugs, could easier access increase consumption, and does Scotland have anything like the treatment infrastructure required?They examine Scotland's record on drug deaths, the relationship between drugs and organised crime, and lessons from approaches used overseas.Tom also reflects on his own experience working in alcohol and drug strategy and raises a crucial question about drug deaths: rather than looking only at how someone died, should we pay much more attention to how they lived in the years beforehand?The discussion then turns to Scots law and Brennan v HM Advocate, a murder case involving alcohol, LSD and the important legal principle surrounding voluntarily induced intoxication, insanity and diminished responsibility.A frank discussion about drugs, crime, health, law — and whether continuing with the same policies can ever produce a different result.Real cases.

Learn why reframing your language changes how you handle conflict. Many people adopt the term spiritual warfare to describe their daily struggles, but does using combat-based language truly serve your mindset? In this discussion, Sharon Horne-Ellstrom analyzes why aggressive labels often create more tension than resolution. Just as the war on drugs failed to solve its core issues, applying a combative lens to your personal life can distract you from finding actual mental clarity. Understanding your internal dialogue is vital for anyone trying to protect your peace. When you move away from hostile terminology, you gain better control over your reactions and emotional health. This perspective helps you evaluate whether your current spiritual growth practices are built on genuine problem-solving or just catchy, attention-grabbing metaphors.

Journalist, documentarian, scientific researcher, and transcendental trailblazer in psychedelic phenomenon, Hamilton Morris has explored spirituality and the esoteric ecosystems of enlightenment around the world for nearly two decades since the publication of his first article, "The Magic Jew", in 2008. Since then, he's established himself as one of the world's leading psychoactive drug journalists, publishing dozens of atmospherical articles for VICE, Harper's Magazine, Hamilton's Pharmacopeia, and hosting the Hamilton Morris podcast. We chat with him briefly about the counterculture movement, the legalization of drugs, and its intense impact on society and the population, to say the least, during the ongoing "War on Drugs" and prohibition, as well as his current research on 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine). Check out his YouTube channel and subscribe to his Patreon for further explorations into the never-ending narrative and revolutionary research of the psychedelic experience.

Operation Venetic was the UK's largest-ever law enforcement operation, following the infiltration of the encrypted communications network, EncroChat. Among those arrested was Faye Dunn, a former international footballer who had become involved as an administrator in an international operation to supply drugs. After three years in prison, Faye has now completed her sentence and is rebuilding her life away from the drugs trade. In prison, Faye saw close-up the disastrous effect drug abuse has on users for the first time.In this File on 4 investigation, Danny Shaw explores the unexpected consequences of the EncroChat operation, as prisons struggle to cope with organised criminals behind bars. Speaking publicly for the first time, Faye tells Danny the story of how she stepped off a plane at Manchester Airport and straight into the hands of the police.EncroChat was a mobile phone network used almost exclusively by organised criminals. When it was compromised by French and Dutch police, it supplied the biggest windfall of criminal intelligence in British history. It allowed police to view entire chains of communication used to coordinate the international drugs trade. In the context of the decades-old ‘War on Drugs', it was a bunker-busting super-weapon, unlikely ever to be surpassed in law-enforcement terms. Thousands were arrested. Tonnes of drugs and millions in cash were seized. Weapons, ammunition and digital trails stretching across the global drug trade were uncovered. Major players were jailed. The police called it a once-in-a-lifetime victory. But six years later, has this Hollywood-style policing operation made an impact on the supply of drugs on our streets?Has it truly disrupted the drug trade – or simply shifted it?And with law enforcement and custody costing hundreds of millions of pounds, are there other ways of reducing the harm cased by drugs?Danny visits cities across Britain to look at programmes that aim to reduce demand for drugs - the other side of this most lucrative business model.Presenter: Danny Shaw Producer: Beth McLeod Technical Producer: Steve Wyatt Executive Producer: Andrew Wilkie Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Image: Andy Aitchison A Prison Radio Association production for BBC Radio 4

“Each one of these is individually a crime scene, and the United States is the responsible actor.” — John Walsh With America preoccupied (as always) with war in the Middle East, another kind of killing is taking place at its back door. Since early September of last year, the United States military has bombed 67 small boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific and assassinated 221 supposed “narco-terrorists.” The first full account of this deadly war is the Washington Office on Latin America's (WOLA) Killing Spree: Extrajudicial Executions in the U.S. Boat Strike Campaign, a 27,000-word report by Adam Isacson, WOLA's director for defense oversight, and John Walsh, its director for drug policy. Under U.S. and international law, this is murder, Isacson and Walsh conclude about a policy they see as premeditated killing of civilians who pose no immediate threat to the United States. Its official name is Operation Southern Spear, designed as a war on terror by an inner circle of Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio. So the Donroe Doctrine is really a broader MAGA embrace of extra-judicial killings. Trump might be able to point to Latin America on a map, but this official US policy is about far more than geography. And it even fails as drug policy. The boat strikes target Andean cocaine while fentanyl (produced in Mexico from Chinese synthetics) drives the American epidemic. As Isacson puts it, bombing these boats is like murdering a street-corner dealer and declaring the entire drug problem solved. The WOLA report's darkest implication is domestic. The Justice Department memo underpinning the campaign amounts, Walsh argues, to an open license to kill. For an administration that talks obsessively about the enemy within, the boat strikes might be a dress rehearsal. Graham Greene's quiet Americans have metastasized into the deadly Americans. Only this time they're filming their own atrocities and boasting about them on social media. The assassination of that street-corner dealer in Peru might be a dress rehearsal for an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota. America's southern back porch threatens to become its northern front door. Five Takeaways •       63 Crime Scenes. The numbers, from WOLA's strike-by-strike tracker: 63 attacks on 67 boats since September 2, 2025; 221 people killed; three known survivors. The legal analysis is not complicated: Title 18, Section 1111 of the U.S. Code prohibits murder, applies on the high seas, and premeditated killing of civilians with no self-defense justification is precisely what it forbids — no due process, no evidence offered, and in many cases no idea who was aboard. Each announcement is a near-identical Southern Command tweet, which is exactly what makes the campaign insidious: with no news handle, coverage shrinks to 150 words in the AP, and a democracy grows numb to what Walsh insists on calling 63 individual crime scenes with the United States as the responsible actor.•       Narcoterrorism: Two Wars Welded Together. Operation Southern Spear fuses the post-9/11 war on terror with the sixty-year war on drugs: organized-crime groups redefined as the equivalent of al-Qaeda and ISIS, a secret list of two dozen designated organizations, and Stephen Miller declaring that only the military can fight drug trafficking. The policy's continuity is real — supply control has been an American staple since Reagan — but its rupture is stark: Marco Rubio's own justification admitted that decades of interdiction never worked, so the administration would skip the intermediary steps and simply kill. The December 2025 National Security Strategy makes Latin America a first-tier priority for the first time in decades — the Donroe Doctrine, which Andrew reads as a broader MAGA embrace of extra-judicial killings — with Venezuela as proof of concept and “joint operations” as the export: Mexico refused, Ecuador agreed, and newly elected far-right governments in Colombia and Peru may soon invite American special forces to kick in doors.•       The Wrong War on the Wrong Economy. Both authors concede the underlying problem is real: organized crime kills, displaces, extorts everyone from street peddlers to five-star restaurants, and buys governments wholesale. But the strikes fail on their own terms. They target Andean cocaine while fentanyl — compact, potent, made in Mexico from Chinese precursors — drives American overdose deaths. Drugs are one income stream among many: at $4,000-an-ounce gold, illegal mining that poisons the Amazon may pay better, alongside extortion, kidnapping, and migrant smuggling. And the military is the wrong tool: America's supermax already holds the drug lords, the Medellín and Cali cartels were obliterated decades ago, and there is more coca than ever — because organized crime, unlike an insurgency, doesn't want to fight the state. It wants to corrupt it. Killing suspects also destroys the evidence a real case would need — ludicrous, as Walsh puts it, as drug policy.•       Who Were the 221? Nobody knows how many were innocent — which is itself the scandal. From the few dozen cases WOLA could document, the dead include fishermen, migrants, human-trafficking victims, and kids paid a couple hundred dollars to run drugs or fuel one time — the lowest links in the chain, in coastal regions where boats are the only roads and the same vessel carries passengers one day and a small cargo the next. (Isacson has ridden boats exactly like the ones in the videos.) One victim was a genuinely dirty local drug boss; most were nothing of the kind. The reckoning has begun at the edges: two Trinidadian families are suing the United States in Boston federal court, a Colombian fisherman's family has gone to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and an Ecuadorian prosecutor who investigated the strikes has been assassinated.•       Colombia or Chicago. The report's most chilling section reads the Justice Department's legal memo as an open license to kill: a secret list, membership decided by the president, no limiting factor — so that, as Walsh warns, “it doesn't matter if you're in Colombia or Chicago.” For an administration that speaks constantly of the enemy from within — and drummed the theme into the assembled brass at Quantico — the high seas look like a rehearsal space. Accountability remains possible: Tim Kaine is reading every after-action report, boat-flag states could take Trump officials to the International Criminal Court, and travel could get complicated for the inner circle. WOLA's fear isn't retribution but lawfare — never, as Isacson says, a reason to be silent. Graham Greene's quiet Americans have metastasized into the deadly Americans, filming their own atrocities and boasting on social media. The assassination of a street-corner dealer in Peru might be a dress rehearsal for an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota: America's southern back porch threatens to become its northern front door.

Join Lisa, Matt, and Jules for a gripping conversation with Lieutenant Raul J. Diaz and Sean Oliver, co-authors of Killing the Lieutenant, a firsthand account of crime, corruption, and survival during Miami's notorious cocaine wars. Raul Diaz's story sounds like something out of a crime movie—but it's real. After immigrating to the United States from Cuba, Diaz went from being involved in gang life to becoming a police officer and eventually one of the law enforcement officers fighting some of Miami's most dangerous criminals during the explosive drug era of the 1980s. In this episode, Diaz takes us inside a Miami where cocaine trafficking was exploding, violent criminals were flooding the streets, and police were often working without the technology, resources, and forensic tools available today. He shares what it was like confronting powerful criminal organizations and operating undercover in an era when the risks were enormous and backup wasn't always guaranteed. We also explore the human cost of a career spent fighting violent crime. Diaz opens up about the relentless stress, physical and mental toll, and health problems that followed years on the front lines of Miami's war on drugs. Sean Oliver discusses how his collaboration with Diaz began and what went into transforming Diaz's experiences into Killing the Lieutenant. Together, they explain why telling the personal stories behind the badges and headlines was so important—and why the human perspective can make a crime memoir far more powerful than simply recounting the cases. The conversation also takes aim at the way popular culture and media have romanticized notorious criminals, including figures like Griselda Blanco, and asks what gets lost when criminals become celebrities. We discuss the difference between the mythology surrounding Miami's cocaine era and the reality experienced by the police officers, informants, victims, and communities caught in the middle. Finally, we reflect on Diaz's legacy and his work with CENTAC 26, examining the impact of his career and the sacrifices made by the officers who helped take on Miami's drug trade during one of the most dangerous periods in the city's history. If you're a fan of true crime podcasts, Miami cocaine wars, organized crime, drug trafficking, police memoirs, undercover investigations, criminal history, and real-life crime stories, this is an episode you won't want to miss. *Please note all opinions in the show are our own and solely in regards to the specific case we are discussing in this episode* We made a one stop shop for all the Eye for an Eye links our listeners might want to check out whether its where to listen, our merch shop, all of our socials, our email, or ways to support the show,  we'd love for you to visit the link below!  https://msha.ke/eyeforeyepod/ Tired of Ads?

Senators on Thursday morning will decide whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress, that's after the fallout from his Senate appearance last week. That's where he pleaded the 5th to avoid answering more than 100 questions. Contempt of Congress is a criminal charge that lawmakers can use if they deem someone as obstructing an ongoing investigation.Thousands of supporters went to see President Trump speak at the Red Rock Casino on Wednesday, where he spoke on the economic success for his administration, pointing to record employment numbers, and a sweeping tax relief package. The president also pointed to a dramatic victory in the war on drugs, saying fentanyl coming in by sea has been slashed by nearly 97%.President Trump weighed in on Fox News, on the latest nuclear talks with Iran, saying it is still unclear whether the latest talks will be successful. This as diplomacy with Tehran continues, alongside controversial claims over munition shortages, which Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied, calling the story fake news that was, "shopped to many outlets by someone clearly out to disparage the Secretary."

For 35 years, Families Against Mandatory Minimums has resisted America's War on Drugs by sharing the stories of people subjected to unconscionable prison sentences for non-violent drug offenses.  In this episode, FAMM's general counsel Shannon Rifkin explains how the organization convinces lawmakers and communities to adopt harm reduction based approaches to drug policy, and what you can do to help the cause .

Leo Silva grew up in Texas, was recruited into the DEA at just 22 years old, and spent the next 28 years on the front lines of America's war on drugs — starting with undercover operations in Texas before being stationed in Monterrey Mexico as Resident Agent in Charge where he built cases against the Gulf Cartel and the infamous Los Zetas and eventually rose to Special Agent in Charge. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what hunting cartels from the inside of Mexico really looked like — the undercover buys the high stakes operations the cartel violence and the bureaucracy that most people on the outside never hear about. He also breaks down how cartels have evolved over nearly three decades how Los Zetas changed everything about cartel violence and what the real truth about the war on drugs looks like from the person who lived it on the front lines for 28 years. _____________________________________________ #cops #cartels #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Connect with Leo Silva: https://leosilvaauthor.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps:  00:00 Meet Leo Silva: DEA Agent's Story 01:18 Growing Up on the Border 02:18 Early Encounters With Cartel Culture 03:32 Choosing DEA Over Teaching 05:03 Training, Family Reactions, and Joining DEA 07:07 First Assignment in Texas 08:18 Undercover Work & Street Smarts 09:55 DEA Training vs. Real-World Experience 12:22 Being a Young Undercover Agent 14:04 Cartel Connections and Local Targets 17:44 Violence and Danger Along the Border 18:56 Cases, Informants, and Prosecution 21:14 Experiencing the Drug Trade Firsthand 24:47 Wiretaps and Changing Technology 27:14 Big Undercover Operations 29:20 Handling Risk and Mental Toll 32:08 Life as a DEA Agent in Texas 36:42 Transferring to Mexico: Bigger Targets 41:09 Adapting to Work in Mexico 44:00 Operations Against Zetas and Cartel Wars 48:19 Cartels, Corruption, and Survival 52:51 Cartel Violence and Evolution 57:08 Prioritizing Cases & Supervisory Challenges 01:01:17 Mexico Operations, Leadership, and Cartel Dynamics 01:07:59 Cartel Power, Money, and Tactics 01:12:00 Personal Toll, Stress & Burnout 01:17:21 Darkest Moments: Loss and Violence 01:19:44 Justice, Reforms & Mexico's Future 01:21:26 Retirement, Recovery, and Life After DEA 01:24:42 Reflections, Writing, and Final Thoughts _____________________________________________   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Miami was the center of the war on drugs, specifically against the Columbian Drug Cartels. Miami Police Detective Raul Diaz took the battle to the cartels during his career in law enforcement. I will be speaking with him and his co-author, Sean Oliver.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. This week on the show, we welcome Nashville-based music journalist, critic and author Erin Osmon, to discuss her tremendous book, Won't Back Down: Heartland Rock and the Fight for America, which chronicles how heartland rock, typified by artists like Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and more, brought a populist, Americana-inspired sound to the airwaves of the radio and MTV. Along the way, Osmon shines a light on lesser heralded artists in the heartland canon, including Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Tracy Chapman, explores the impact of the shift from vinyl and tape to compact discs, the ubiquity of synthesizer technology, and the progressive undercurrent that propels this music.  Osmon's writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, and she's the author of a 33 ⅓ book on John Prine and Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost. With Won't Back Down, she traces the origins of heartland rock and its influence on artists like The War on Drugs and The Hold Steady, and best of all, offers deep insight into the complex characters of its most notable figures. Especially intriguing is the Indiana-born Osmon's focus on fellow Hoosier John “Cougar” Mellencamp, who emerges as one of the most fascinating characters, a hothead with a leftist heart and punk rock verve.  This year marks the 250th birthday of America, and this conversation was taped this conversation just a few days before the 4th of July. We haven't been feeling all that patriotic—maybe it has something to do with the fascists governing our country and their endless commitment to foreign wars and environmental destruction—but Osmon's book reminds us that this country has at its core something more noble, some promise that has not been stamped out just yet. As the Boss once sang: “Everything dies, baby, that's a fact/But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jay has a habit of over-texting famous people. He went into his text history and found a thread with Adam Granduciel from "The War On Drugs." Ten years ago, Jay thought he was starting a friendship with the singer, but the messaging soon turned one-sided. Before Jay reads the transcripts to Bob he tries to distract him with different subjects like family relationships, tap dancing, and jorts fashion. Bob cringes as Jay reveals his overstepping yet again with sad results. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Retired DEA special agent Leo Silva discusses his book Narco Tales and his career fighting drug trafficking and organized crime. Silva provides a historical perspective on how Mexican cartels transitioned from business-oriented organizations with strict codes to the modern, ultra-violent groups that rely on extortion and kidnapping. The conversation covers the evolution of the narcotics trade, specifically the shift from marijuana and cocaine to the current fentanyl crisis and synthetic drugs. Silva highlights the challenges of undercover work in the age of social media and reflects on the varying levels of government cooperation between the United States and Mexico across different administrations. The dialogue concludes with a somber look at the deteriorating security situation in Mexico and the potential for increased U.S. intervention to combat the instability. Through his books, Silva aims to humanize the individuals on both sides of the law while documenting the violent realities of the narco world.

As Resident Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Monterrey Office, Silva spent decades at the sharp edge of America’s war on transnational crime, building cases against high-value targets that most people only read about in the news. Now he’s telling the full story. Silva is the author of Reign of Terror and its Spanish-language edition El Reinado de Terror — a memoir that pulls no punches about what frontline law enforcement really looks like: the operations, the sacrifices, the bureaucracy, and the human cost on every side of the fight. His writing draws on something no researcher or journalist can replicate — a career spent inside the story, where the stakes were measured in lives, not column inches. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

The title of Elizabeth Roberts' new book, In Praise of Addiction, is likely to catch your attention, maybe even set off some cognitive dissonance in your mind. But the University of Michigan's Elizabeth Roberts doesn't want you to be unhealthy or take up new habits that can hurt you and others, she just wants you to consider that maybe we haven't been looking at addiction with the clearest of eyes. Why are some substances and habits tolerated and others scorned, their users told by society to abstain and isolated until they do? In her time living in Mexico, she noticed a big difference between people who drank or did drugs to cut themselves off from society versus those who used substances to connect with one another. She offers her analysis on how this was impacted by NAFTA and the War on Drugs in Mexico and puritanism and capitalism in the United States. This is a complicated issue but it's pretty healthy to challenge assumptions and to take a look at how those assumptions came to be established in the first place.
