David Poses is a writer, speaker, and activist. After hiding his struggle with depression and opioids for 20 years, he started opening up and challenging conventional addiction wisdom. He has been published by the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and New York Daily News and has appeared on national TV programs, including The Doctors TV Show, and numerous radio shows and podcasts. With candor, humor, and a unique perspective informed by science and experience, he advocates for evidence-based approaches to drug policy, prevention, and treatment. David lives in New York with his wife and two kids and entirely too many guitars for such a mediocre player.
