Caleb Banta-Green of UW medicine joins the pod to debate the pros and cons of Seattle's current approach to drugs. 

The conversation kicks off with Barnett and Banta-Green blasting the city council's latest plan to create six new “stay out” zones for drug crimes.  The conversation then broadens to a deeper debate about whether some coercion helps or harms people who are struggling with addiction.
