The History of Drugs in Society explores the history of different substances and how we’ve lived alongside and interacted with them.This season, we’re going to look at opium in one of three ways: opium as a medicine, opium as a commodity that is traded, and opium as a drug that is consumed and people become addicted to. Each episode will have one of these three as the primary focus. We will start with the first signs of the opium poppy through the current opioid crisis in America and the major issues surrounding opioids globally.

Giving a short(ish) update as the year wraps up. I talk about some plans for next year:
- narrative is on hold until I can release on a weekly basis
- interviews coming up related to opioid harm reduction in Pennsylvania and cannabis legalization in the US
- random interviews might still show up
I'm really grateful for all of the people who have tuned in since I launched earlier this year! Feel free to reach out if you have any content ideas or just want to chat about any of the topics we touched on in the first season. You can reach me on drugshistory@gmail.com and @DrugsHistory on Twitter.
Be well!
