Narco Farm 1 & Happy New Year!
Manage episode 459283837 series 2844021
Happy New Year, Kentucky! We're back with our first installment of our series on the "Narcotic Farm" of Lexington, KY. This was a fascinating experiment of drug reform that took place between the 1930s - 1970s in Lexington. Drug addicts from across the country, whether voluntarily or involuntarily as prisoners, were sent to “Narco,” as it was called, on the outskirts of Lexington. It was a rehab, a prison, a farm – and also a place where questionable research on drug addicts took place – so ultimately, it was a failure.
Later in the episode, we talk about the new year in Lexington–our predictions, our resolutions. And it wouldn’t be a true LexPod episode without a couple of quick tangents about movie recommendations and local spots we want to check out in 2025.
