S4E4 - Getting High and Hungover

The one about the legality, stigma and hypocrisy surrounding drugs.

On this episode, we spoke about the legality, status, and weird hypocrisy surrounding drugs and drugs use. 

Cannabis; Alcohol; Psychedelics; Cocaine; Antidepressants, Opioids; Codeine; Tramadol; “Gutter water”; the list goes on.

What makes these drugs bad or good, and who should be responsible for that distinction. The issue of natural vs lab-made drugs also came up, does a product being natural automatically mean better?

Does the mode of drug consumption also affect the stigma attached to drugs? 

How about triggers? Why does our favourite author get away with taking drugs and the person down the road stigmatised? The complex questions go on!

Initially, we thought our stances on drug use were mostly from a cultural, moral, or ‘woke’ stance but the conversation made us realise we were all coming from a place of health, productivity, and facts, and that meant that we had fewer disagreements for the most part about thoughts on drug use. 

Shout out to Aneesh for joining us on this complex episode. Aneesh brought very intelligent perspectives to this complex conversation and it was full of laughs despite the depth we tried to achieve.
