Mobtown Mag was founded in part to shed light on the plight of drug users at a time when the war on drugs continues to shape life as we know it.
Here in Baltimore, though, much of the recent news surrounding drugs has been focused on ongoing litigation against opioid manufacturers and distributors. I have also been caught up in the recent influx of legal news.
While they are important news stories, they aren't exactly what I set out to focus on.
That's why I'm inviting those who are interested to speak with me and let their voices be heard. Whether you're an active drug user or someone in recovery, I want to hear from you.
If you'd like to help advance my mission of creating a better understanding of drug use and addiction, send your thoughts and stories my way. That includes the good, the bad and the ugly.
Some questions for you may include:
- What is it like to be a drug user in Baltimore? How do you feel as though you are treated and viewed by the general public?
- How has drug use impacted your life? In what ways has it been harmful, or in what ways has it been helpful?
- What has life been like in recovery? What has been most difficult, and what has been most rewarding?
It's not been easy for an independent journalist — and for someone relatively new to Baltimore — to gain the trust of people who often have had difficult, complicated lives. And, as is typical with such stories, there is likely trauma involved.
As a recovering addict myself, I understand, and that's why I hope to be the one to help tell them.
For those interested, feel free to write me an email at logan.hullinger@mobtownmag.com with some information about yourself and your journey. You can also reach me on social media channels or fill out an email form here.
Note: These stories are intended to be for publication, likely in the form of profile pieces that go into detail about your personal experiences and how they fit into drug culture as a whole. Subjects should live in the Baltimore area, and any concerns regarding anonymity can be discussed.
I look forward to hearing from you.
