“I was completely drawn in by each episode. Learned a great deal about the history and use/abuse of drugs across the societal and political spectrum. It’s a shame there are not more episodes, I am sure there is more to tell.
Highly recommend.”

“...and I subscribe to big pharma...psych meds. If I can fall asleep on a topic that effects me personally, you’re doing something very wrong. I listen to ANYTHING. This subject doesn’t have to sound like a boring college lecture.”

“This is a really interesting podcast, thoughtful and insightful. I like that it isn’t judge mental, it seems to be more about getting to the root cause of drug abuse and addiction. My only regret is that I will run out of episodes too soon because I just can’t stop listening.
Thank you Geoff!”

“This is a great topic but it is soooooo overproduced with music and drama it’s unlistenable. I just wanted to hear the facts not listen to all the annoying distracting music and sounds. Sorry it’s a thumbs down for me.”

“Genau sowas habe ich gesucht um für die Hörverstehensaufgabe im Abi zu lernen.
Die Sprecher sind fast alle sehr gut und deutlich verständlich und auch die Berichterstattung, welche aus verschiedenen Quellen erfolgt, ist interessant und vielseitig.
Sehr empfehlenswert.”

“Low energy, every though what being talked about is interesting and its well researched its spoken in such a mono tone voice. Also, I just don’t feel like it’s revolutionary-type thinking. It’s just saying what everyone else thinks it seems.”
