In this week's episode, we take a deeper look at the addiction treatment industry. As addiction rates rise, it only makes sense that the addiction treatment industry sees a rise in revenue. But at what cost to the individual seeking treatment services? We look at the difference between drug dependence and drug addiction, deceptive marketing tactics of the addiction treatment industry, and what reform should take place.

In this week's episode, we talk about the 1st Amendment and Freedom of Speech, particularly how it applies to the most popular social media platforms. Does 1st Amendment protection apply to what we say on social media? What about freedom of speech for government employees? Who is liable when it comes to content? We dive deep into the ins and outs of why you can't just say whatever you want and expect to have protection from the Constitution.

In this episode, uncover the history behind vaccines (it's kind of gross) and how vaccines have changed the world for the better (which they have). However, as with anything, there has been opposition to vaccines. This movement is known as being anti-vaccination, anti-vaxx, or being vaccine reluctant. But why is being anti-vaxx even a thing? This episode digs deeper into the controversies surrounding vaccines and busts the myths associated with vaccines. If you agree or disagree, let me know on Instagram @commentaryforall.
