Prams in Pubs: Why are some substances deemed more acceptable than others?

Drugs Unwrapped: The Podcast

11-03-2024 • 1 hr 3 mins

Rob, Hannah and Shannon discuss why some substances are deemed more acceptable than others. Does your environment make using certain substances more 'OK' compared to other situations? Why would drinking alcohol after work on a Tuesday be viewed as OK, while using ketamine mid-week may be viewed differently?

We discuss how alcohol came to be an accepted part of our lives, and society, and how many factors from family values to legislation play a significant role. If all drugs were to be legalised, would people view each substance in the same light as one of the nations favourite drugs?
