Every Thursday at 1:00 PM ET, Zach Weissmueller and I go live on YouTube and Facebook with great thinkers, activists, politicians, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and other people who are critical to the world we live in. We’re excited to present the audio of those conversations as an additional episode Reason Interview podcast.
This time we spoke with Ethan Nadelmann, former head of the Drug Policy Alliance and host of the excellent Psychoactive podcast. Ethan is one of the main reasons we live in a world where legal marijuana is increasingly available to adults—and why other drugs are also being decriminalized and legalized.
The main thing was should we legalize all drugs and, if so, how best to do it? It is an in-depth conversation about all aspects of drug policy, drug use and drug culture, including decriminalization vs. legalization, addiction and treatment programs, and the effects of reforms in Portugal and elsewhere around the world.
