Is addiction a disease or a disorder? (Part 1) - a podcast by Ian McLaughlin & Bo Allen

Did the concept of addiction always exist, or is it a new concept? Do scientists and physicians all agree that addiction is a disease? We discuss topics like these, as well as a scandal involving the primary study used to make MDMA, or ecstasy, as illegal as a drug can be and a former director of NIDA.
