Last week, Jonathan Van Ness, star of Queer Eye, came out with his memoir and an interview with NY Times about life managing HIV, sexual abuse, and drug addiction. They are all pressing issues in the queer community and in this episode, we dive into drugs. Whether we like to admit it or not, drugs are all around us. They are at parties, festivals, and even the bars we frequent. Both legal and illegal drugs are being used and abused and for us to build a more mature relationship with it - it is to talk about them openly. In this episode, we cover:
  • Why are drugs prevalent in gay and Asian culture?
  • History of drug use in gay culture
  • Prevalence of drugs on gay dating apps
  • Chemsex culture
  • Drawing the line between personal responsibility and encouragement
  • The G epidemic in gay culture
  • A look into drug consumption worldwide
  • The opioid epidemic in the US
  • Drug laws and regulations across Asia
  • Impact of drug liberalization
  • How to manage drug culture when it is around us
