Ep 100: Ending the War on Drugs with Christina Dent

*My recording software defaulted my microphone to my built-in computer mic, and I was not aware of this until after we finished recording. I apologize in advance for the below-average sound quality of my microphone.

In this episode I talk to Christina Dent. Christina is the founder and president of the organization End it for Good, which challenges the popular narrative that the best way to solve drug abuse and addiction is through the criminal justice system. Christina argues that the war on drugs has been a failure and that instead of criminalizing drug use we need to take a restorative approach to addiction. She discusses her move as a conservative Christian away from the criminal justice approach to drugs, how the problem of drug abuse and addiction has impacted our society, and how ending the drug war might actually enable us to solve the problem of drug abuse in our country.
