Understanding the Root Causes of the Drug Crisis: An Interview with Christina Dent
In this episode of the Prisoner's Pardon podcast, host Michi J welcomes Christina Dent, the founder of End It For Good, to discuss the misunderstood root causes of the drug and addiction problem in the U.S. Christina shares her personal journey from a typical upbringing in Mississippi to becoming an advocate for drug policy reform. Through her experience as a foster parent and interactions with individuals affected by addiction, Christina provides insights into why current solutions have failed and offers alternative approaches. She emphasizes the importance of looking deeper into addiction as a health issue, the inefficacies of incarceration, and potential solutions like legally regulated drug markets and the CRAFT model for family support. Christina's book 'Curious' aims to shed light on these issues and inspire change. Additional resources and offers, including free book copies and educational materials, are provided for listeners.
