66. Benzos, Dope and Tranq with Manisha Krishnan

This week’s podcast is featuring Manisha Krishnan, senior editor at VICE News reporting on subjects such as racism, drug policy, sexual violence against women, and guns.

Coming from Canada, home to one of the most progressive drug addiction services in the world, Manisha was reporting for VICE News in their new documentary ‘Beyond Fentanyl’ which looks at how drugs like “benzos,” “dope” and “tranq” are ravaging North American communities and how U.S. policy affected the latest flood of synthetic street drugs.
Tune in to this week’s episode for a VICE  journalist’s perspective on drug policies around the world.
