Episode 6: "Failed Harm Reduction, Psychedelics Breakthrough & Personal Truths" with Dr. Julian Somers & Dr. Oren Amitay

Brad Smith sits down with pioneering addiction researcher Dr. Julian Somers, who helped shape early decriminalization and harm reduction studies in the '80s but now calls out how the movement was derailed by power, money, and green ideology—leading to disastrous outcomes in places like Canada. He unpacks why "safe supply" and open sites aren't safe and what the real data shows after decades of ignored research. Then, clinical psychologist Dr. Oren Amitay dives into the exciting frontier of psychedelics for mental health treatment, exploring breakthrough possibilities for trauma, depression, and more. Brad and Oren get personal, sharing their own experiences with mental health struggles and why this emerging therapy could change lives. Raw, evidence-based, and deeply honest conversations that cut through the noise.
