#6: Healing (Dr. Jeni Hunniecutt)

Veterans Advocate Dr. Jeni Hunniecutt joins me to discuss her latest research involving veterans using cannabis as an alternative to opioids & benzodiazepines, and MDMA therapy in veteran populations. We talk about the difficulty of beginning mindful meditation practices, the concept of spirituality as a drug, our cultural conceptions of love, and how to get drugs legalized. We also dive into the connection between Christianity and our current state of affairs in the US, as a COVID-19 pandemic and a social movement (#BLM) blow up at the same time. Are we in the midst of Civil War II? Would we know it if we were? Is the end of the war on drugs a way to move forward? Support the show
