OTPs ARE NOT offering what people normally call “counseling”. These people are not helping us. They’re the ones most often denying & revoking access to normalcy via policing take homes. My friend’s “counselor” revoked his take homes & he relapsed & died less than a week later.

In 2024, this is what the AATOD considers trailblazing…Methadone Clinic Abolition Collective (MCAC)

Liberating methadone isn’t just about abolishing predatory practices, it’s about the future of medicine. Will we reject surveillance & police controlled treatment plans? Liberating methadone could liberate us all. No more piecemeal reform, we can do better.

The resistance to increasing accessibility to methadone in the US via misrepresentations like 'Program Not a Pill' isn't evidence based.

Found this systematic review of psychosocial interventions, which really contradicts the BS these US clinics spout.

No more DEA centered care. Allow MDs to prescribe again. Allow pharmacies to dispense. Surveillance isn’t safety.

Entirely predictable that states will begin to schedule disfavored drugs because that allows them to monitor them with PDMPs and across state lines. Draft article predicting this and what states can do to protect prescribing health data here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Now someone who was allegedly fitted w the “Bridge” has DIED in Chesterfield County Jail. This is why Methadone & Suboxone are the MOST recommended treatment options, we have years of positive outcomes. Cops aren’t doctors & experimenting on inmates is unethical & even deadly.

If this actually worked then THE POLICE wouldn’t be the only ones gassing it up.

It’s about time. ACAB includes the PDMP!🔥🔥🔥

Taking photographs of homeless people and their locations to post on the internet makes you an asshole & increases the level of danger for them & anyone else around them.

Prohibitionist fear and intolerance is a serious threaten women and children in so many ways - in this example drug testing during pregnancy - lessons from New York

I’d like to see those involved in any decision making process regarding public transit navigate the routes they’re planning in a wheelchair.

The Drug War has never been about drugs. It's always been about vested interests, power and control over the 'Other'

Have a read of this story. It's so awful.
This bit is a flat out lie.

Break out the chocolate and graham crackers, we’re headed to a “marshmallow” planet!

With its puffy atmosphere, WASP-107 b is one of the least dense planets known. New Webb data may have solved the mystery of its floofiness. For s‘more on this story: go.nasa.gov/3WNFMh9

Incarceration has nothing to do with rehabilitation. It destroys people. It destroys families. It destroys communities. No one leaves jail in better shape than they went in. What is happening? Prison Policy Init. Drug Policy Alliance

When the “experts” start blubbering about “removing stigma” remember that while they’re debating semantics actual people are dying in a very real drug war.
