The Drug Legalization Lie (ft. Luke Niforatos)

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Luke Niforatos, Vice President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), to unpack why "pot is bad" as well as the dangers of wider drug legalization. Modern marijuana is far more addictive and harmful than the weed of decades past, contributing to mental health crises, violence, and addiction. Luke exposes the dark side of the marijuana industry, from cartel involvement to corruption in regulation, and warns against the push for psychedelic legalization, which poses even greater risks. Drug policies should not be relegated to libertarian thought experiments and Luke and SAM are exceptional examples of how to engage on this issue.
