PROJECT DESCRIPTION⌗

D.R.U.G.S. is a subseries of the SLOOM podcast that is focused on providing information about, the science behind, and first hand accounts of the use of drugs in the modern day, both legal and illicit. Motivated by the growing opiod epidemic in America and our governments, we believe that education is one of the most important methods for solving these crises. Topics include: Opiods, Amphetamines, Anabolic Steriods, Alcohol, Marijuana, and more.

PROJECT GOALS⌗

The main goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive, apolitical, and scientific source of information regarding drug use in american culture. We want to relay the physiological side-effects both scientifically and anecdotally, through peer-reviewed research, first hand accounts, testimonials from professionals, and more.
