this is not a good faith post, but if you wanted to hypothesize that xylazine's increasing market share is responsible for decreased OD deaths, then technically the Biden admin could take credit for the drop 2/2 incentivizing an ⬆️ly poisonous drug supply ISO interdiction efforts

Viewing adxn as a chronic relapsing brain disease led me to live with unimaginable anxiety because that meant relapse was inevitable. Since I’ve reframed how I view it to a choice that led to a diseased organ that needed medical help, but was/is fixable has been liberating.

Wonder how the gals from the clique books are doing.. wishing them the best!
