Michael and Pele discuss the ways they’ve seen addiction, drugs and drug policy impact people and communities. They bring on Freeway Rick Ross, who shares how and why he stopped dealing drugs, his experience in prison, and how his name was stolen. The episode then turns to redemption, second chances, and what Freeway hopes his legacy will be.
