Reflections on Maia Szalavitz, Problems With The Disease Model, Casual Drug Use
Episode description
Dr. Peele and Zach consider Zach’s interview with Maia Szalavitz. Does Maia believe in the disease theory? What would happen if she took heroin again? Would she "Richard Harris" it (drinking Guinness as a 70ish grandpa)?
Do chronic brain disease advocates understand why families resist their depredations? Are they guilty of manslaughter?
Zach says he’s okay with heroin — unlike the opioided friend of a New York Times opinion writer who, convinced he could never escape his life disease sentence, explained opioid addiction to the Times writer to spread among readers before expiring from it. This is a fate 87,000 Americans, schooled in self-Diseasing, suffered from September 2019-September 2020.
And what role did drug policy reformers play in that bloodbath?
