Today I sat down with Gillian Tietz, Biochemist and host of the Sober Powered Podcast and Blog to talk about substance abuse and addiction. We discuss why addiction should be seen as an illness and not a choice, and whether or not illegal substance abuse should be decriminalized in the United States.
