RMA-Episode 110: Fentanyl Follies: The Not-So-Funny Side of Misguided Drug Policies

In this action-packed episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages, we delve into the perplexing world of recent legislation that's beefing up criminal penalties for fentanyl dealers. But are these laws actually helpful, or are they just a rehash of the failed War on Drugs? We'll also discuss public policy on addiction in general, navigating the maze of mixed messages and contradictory approaches that can leave even the experts scratching their heads.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
