David Poses, author of “The Weight of Air: a memoir of a double life, fueled by addiction and mental illness”

<p>Amy and Joe sit down with writer, activist and speaker David Poses and talk about his highly anticipated darkly funny addiction memoir “The Weight of Air: a memoir of a double life, fueled by addiction and mental illness”. Poses explains why he thinks depression is the gateway drug and discloses that he’s been on Suboxone for 13 years for his heroin addiction.  We talk about religious discrimination in AA, 12 step’s resistance to medication, drug policy, science and how Dr. Carl Hart has rocked the recovery community with his admission that he’s used heroin “recreationally” for 5 years.</p>
