On Opium interview with Carlyn Zwarenstein

This week Harmony interviews Carlyn Zwarenstein about her book On Opium Pain, Pleasure, and Other Matters of Substance. We talk about the war on drugs and its relationship to capitalism, chronic pain and the struggle to get treatment, and the particular stigmas and drug policies lobbied against opium and opioid users.
