In February of 2022, it was announced that President Joe Biden allocated $30 million that would go towards funding "free crack pipes."
This episode of Stop the Stigma was originally recorded at that time and I discussed the topic, broke down what the funding was actually for, or more.
Stick around, newer and better episodes are coming soon.

A lot of people don't know or understand what harm reduction is, in relation to drug use. Many look at it as enabling the person who uses drugs to continue on their "destructive" behavior.
In this episode of Stop the Stigma, I will help you understand what harm reduction is and why the belief that it's enabling isn't correct.

As parents, we all want the best for our kids and dream of them having the best life. We preach to them the danger of using drugs and will often say "My kid will never be an addict" but, the truth is, we can never really guarantee that.
In this episode of the Stop the Stigma podcast I talk about why you should never say that and the reasons why you judging others is unfair to them and their parents. Enjoy!

In early February of 2022, it was announced that President Joe Biden approved a grant of $30 million (I wrongfully stated 40/60 in the episode) for "Free crack pipes." This is, however, misinformation, and in this episode of Stop the Stigma I will help you understand exactly what the grant is and why it's important to support it and harm reduction in general.
