Stanford Law School Wellnesscast

Did you know that some pain medications are the molecular equivalent of heroin? That denial is a myth about addiction? Join Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman and Sarah Weinstein, a lawyer and psychotherapist, for an illuminating conversation about substance misuse with Dr. Anna Lembke, Chief of Addiction Medicine at Stanford, and author of Drug Dealer, MD, a courageous and compelling book about the opioid epidemic. In addition to providing critically important information, Dr. Lembke's interview happens also to be book-ended by an unusually candid "hard moment" from her own professional life and, as she describes it, a "radical" wellness technique she uses to thrive in her career.
