In the final episode of the season, host Hannah Miller teams up with cohost Logan Davis to explore the complex intersection of federal drug policy and campus life. Cohost-turned-guest Douglas Berman is joined by Dr. Jim Lange to discuss the legacy of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and trends in student substance use, enforcement, and recovery support. This episode sheds light on how higher education institutions navigate prevention, enforcement, and support in a shifting legal landscape and touches on the impacts of direct democracy, intoxicating hemp regulation, and marijuana rescheduling.

Lange is the executive director, and Davis is an outreach and engagement manager, at the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery (HECAOD) at The Ohio State University.

This episode was originally recorded as part of HECAOD’s Water Cooler Chat Series.
