They discuss drug exceptionalism; opioids and what determines a drug-related death; fentanyl; PCP as a psychedelic; police justifying shootings due to drug possession; what we could learn from Switzerland; the importance of integrity; and our inherent duty to protect the liberty and bodily autonomy of all people.
