Thank you for sharing. Do you have any data regarding what happens when these medications are discontinued. Wondering if the return to use is common after they stop. Thank you

Ugh. Harm reduction is absolutely necessary. Conditions of being abstinent to receive help are harmful 😒😠

One of the reasons there is horrible news every single day is because the few, flimsy guard rails we had for a lot of bad stuff are all gone

Science is hard. You gotta prove it, test it, and reproduce the results.
Pseudoscience is easy. You make it up, add some fear, and watch ignorant people spread it.

In a world that refuses to allow everyone to have a home, encampments must be protected.

Sucrose (cane sugar): glucose & fructose molecule bonded. Your body sees 50% glucose, 50% fructose.

High fructose corn syrup is ALSO roughly 50/50 glucose/fructose.

Corn syrup: 100% glucose. Enzyme glucose isomerase converts ~50% to fructose.

Swapping HFCS for cane sugar in soda ain’t doing shit.

A new care center for homeless people on Los Angeles’ infamous Skid Row embraces the principle of harm reduction, a more lenient approach to drug use and addiction. County officials say criminalization only worsens homelessness.

This is from a single sample, sold as fentanyl, from the drug supply in Lynn, MA. This is what it looks like for government to surrender its regulatory power to the market. This is what we are subjecting our friends and family too instead of oxy or heroin. This is a policy CHOICE.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Politics in the US today is about as morally simple as it has ever been. The only relevant question is β€œDo you support totally eviscerating the already threadbare US social safety net to fund a system of concentration camps for immigrants and people of color, or do you not support that?”

So, we have concentration camps in America, and some who identify as "Christians" can hardly contain their glee.

What a sad day in America.
