This episode is the second of two that focuses on the treatment and sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine use and the opioid epidemic. The war on drugs is a calculated racist political tool. Crack didn’t just appear in Black communities...it came from somewhere.
In part 2, more of Nwayieze and Dani's conversations with Jack Brown and Susan Burton. Susan and Jack talk about the repercussions they faced because of substance use, their recovery journeys, and the "gentler, more compassionate" approach to the opioid epidemic. This episode also features interviews with Dr. Ayana Jordan, an addiction psychiatrist, and Andrew Goudsward, a reporter for the Asbury Park Press, who has done extensive reporting on the opioid epidemic.
