"Harm reduction" is a theory that argues deaths from overdoses can be greatly reduced with the implementation of strategies that allow people with drug dependency access to drugs in a safe way. Michael Shellenberger, author of "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities," says, "There is no safe use of these drugs."

On this episode of the Phil in the Blanks podcast, Dr. Phil's guest, Michael Shellenberger, discusses the ways in which he claims harm reduction policies emphasize personal liberties but ignore personal responsibility.
