About This Activity
This presentation will take us on an exploration of humanity's historical relationship with substances, examining how drugs have been used across cultures and time. Renee will discuss world events that have shaped substance use and policy, discuss the influence of culture, and scrutinize the development of laws, particularly those rooted in racism rather than in scientific evidence. By understanding the historical context, we can better recognize how we have arrived at our current substance-related challenges, evaluate what interventions are working, and consider innovative ideas for moving forward. When we truly learn from history, we are less likely to repeat its mistakes.
