On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund are joined by Linda E. to discuss the broad range of ways addiction is presented and misrepresented in our society. Our first issue: Can Addiction Be A Defense In a Criminal Proceeding? The recent, infamous, case of Alex Murdaugh, who falsely attempted to use opioid addiction as a defense in his murder trial is discussed. Beyond that, what can possibly be done in this country to reduce the destruction from Fentanyl? We have a spirited discussion about potential options.
