This latest episode #23 from the Revolving Door Syndrome podcast series, Dr Nina Su talks with Dr Julian Buchanan. They explores the harms that drug policy and prohibition has on the mental health and justice system. There are too many vested interests in keeping the Drug War status quo that arbitrarily makes certain substance legal or illegal. Alcohol is one of the most harmful psychoactive drugs yet it is freely available in the community.

It is the environment and community around us that determines whether we become 'addicts' rather than the drugs. It is how we live, whether we have resources, support networks and opportunities that has the most impact on our health outcomes.

Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa seeks to change the narrative on all psychoactive drugs, wants evidence based drug policies that protect Human Rights and provide an environment that reduces risk for everyone.
