Death, Sex & Money: What’s Missing From the Overdose Crisis Conversation
Manage episode 430306650 series 76
From a young age, James T. Morrison used drugs to help him feel better. He started with pills that were prescribed to him–medications like Xanax and Klonopin–but he soon moved on to basically whatever he could get his hands on. In this episode, James discusses his experience with substance use disorder, housing instability, and the criminal justice system. At a time when public officials and policy experts are debating ways to address the overdose crisis in the U.S., James discusses what humane drug policies could look like and how we as a society need to completely change the way we talk about drug use. We first learned about James’ story from an essay he wrote in Slate titled One More Day.
If you’d like to check out some of our previous episodes about substance use and recover, here’s a short list:
- I Can't Fix It: A First Responder on Heroin
- I Felt Like the Story Had To Change: Life After Heroin
- How Jeff Daniels Got Sober, Again
- Falling In Love...With Heroin
- Margo Price After Cheating and Drinking
NOTE: We want to mention that this episode mentions suicide and self harm. If you or someone you love is struggling, please call 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
