   S5: E11: The 33: Methamphetamine: A Love Story. Part 1: "The Maddix Bias Act"

   This episode is Part 1 of our interview with Candi Morris, the mother of Maddix Bias, who was killed in a car collision caused by an impaired driver who passed out behind the wheel after inhaling nitrous oxide. Candi’s two-year journey following Maddix’s death led her to advocate for legislative change. Her efforts ultimately resulted in the passage of a bill making it illegal in Oklahoma to transport, buy, sell, or use nitrous oxide for the purpose of becoming intoxicated. ***The Act went in effect on the day of the recording of this podcast, Aug 14, 2026.*** The Maddix Bias Act is now Oklahoma law. In this powerful two-part interview, Candi shares Maddix’s story, the devastating impact of his death, and the journey that transformed her grief into action and helped bring about meaningful change in Oklahoma.
