On this edition of Century: International Overdose Action Day. Since

2001, communities and organizations across the globe have recognized

August 31 as International Overdose Awareness Day, a time to both

honor loved ones who lost their lives to overdose and to raise

awareness about the overdose crisis. It began in 2001 as a community

remembrance event at The Salvation Army needle exchange facility in

Melbourne, Australia. Now restyled as International Overdose Action

Day, this annual event takes place worldwide each year on August 31.

This week\'s show begins with a presentation by Leo Jeffreys, the newly

appointed Executive Director of the European Network of People who Use

Drugs, who spoke on a webinar hosted by the European Union Drugs on

August 31. From Europe we turn to the United States, where on August

26, families who\'ve lost loved ones to overdose hosted a news

conference, organized by the nonprofit Broken No More, to urge

lawmakers to prioritize health-based solutions that prevent these

tragic losses. We hear presentations by two of the speakers at that

news conference: Aisha Betancourt Esquivel, Founder of the The

Breanaland Foundation, and James Moore, founder of the Recovery Rides

Bicycle Program, which partners with local treatment centers.

\"Our Country Will Live in Hell\" Guests Former Warden Richard Watkins and Former Seattle Sheriff John Urquhart. Topics: ICE tactics & concentration camps, Iran fiasco, Billionaire bluster, USPS and voting, Supreme Court rulings & more

On this edition of Century: Compassionate Oregon Part Two. This is the

second part of my conversation with my good friend Anthony Taylor.

Anthony is Secretary and Legislative Director at Compassionate Oregon

and a founding member and Chair of the Oregon Cannabis Commission.

Anthony is also a longtime activist for medical cannabis access as

well as for marijuana legalization. We discuss the potential impact of

medical marijuana rescheduling, the impending merger of Oregon\'s

medical cannabis program with its psilocybin therapy program, and the

upcoming 2027 legislative session.
