The Business of Drugs

<p>At the end of the first episode of Netfix's <em>The Business of Drugs</em>, host Amaryllis Fox says to the camera:</p><br><p>"Legalization may seem pretty extreme to most Americans. But as long as the demand continues to climb, and the prices remain astronomically high because of no legal competition, I can't help wonder whether legalization and regulation is the only real option, and prohibition is just an illusion to make us all feel good."</p><br><p>Humans have used substances to induce soberless states since the beginning of time, but <em>The Business of Drugs </em>breaks down how our shared global habit is causing chaos for forgotten people. On this episode of <em>Low Key, </em>we talk about destigmatizing addiction, how poverty fuels drug markets, and whether legalization would help.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
