Why is it that the harder we fight the War on Drugs, the more out of control the fentanyl crisis becomes? When the perfect solution isn't possible, do we cling to moral judgment, or do we pragmatically choose to keep people alive?

This episode of Curious Index takes you to the dark origins of the War on Drugs, exposing a century-old policy ignited by personal trauma and racial prejudice. You'll hear about the mind-blowing "Rat Park" experiment and witness how countries like Switzerland miraculously lowered crime and death rates with the shocking strategy of prescribing heroin.

This isn't just a story about drugs. It's a profound exploration of compassion, trauma, and redemption. Prepare to have everything you thought you knew about addiction turned upside down.
