About this listen

There are plenty of drugs both legal and illegal that people use every day. For some it's a casual thing, for others it's a debilitating practice that consumes their thoughts. Drugs appear to be a gateway to escaping reality, but is it really that simple? Josh talks with a recovered ice addict, the head of an addiction lab, and revisits his own past to find out more.

Dive deep into the rush... of drugs.
