Rock Bottom 2 Recovery Podcast Episode 22 Recreational Marijuana...oh no!! With pot shops getting ready to open July 1st I'll be discussing what's happened since we've legalized it and what we can expect. SO TRUE!!! Nora Volkow, MD, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, sat down with The Boston Globe to talk about marijuana legalization and the opioid crisis facing the country.
Her answer to the Globe’s first question should make us all stop and think:
Q. What are your thoughts on pot legalization?
A. The greatest mortality from drugs comes from legal drugs. The moment you make a drug legal, you’re going to increase the number of people who get exposed to it, and therefore you increase the negative consequences from its use. When you legalize, you create an industry whose purpose is to make money selling those drugs. And how do you sell it? Mostly by enticing people to take them and entice them to take high quantities.

Host Bill Farrell welcomes Massachusetts State Senator John Keenan. Senator Keenan is a leading proponent of major reforms addressing prescription drug abuse and substance abuse treatment. Senator Keenan continues to focus on the opiate abuse epidemic, with several pieces of legislation that aim to reduce our over-reliance on the pharmaceutical products that lead to addiction and overdose. He has several proposals that would expand access to treatment, reduce out of pocket costs for naloxone, provide broader and more effective pain management alternatives to opioid prescribing, strengthen the “Good Samaritan” law, and update trafficking statutes to reflect the recently emerged threat of fentanyl.
