How many of those women are locked up simply for maintaining their body with a substance some people in society didn't approve of?
The dietary police literally are putting people in states of bondage.
It's time to end these discriminatory anti-drug laws.

OUTRAGE 101
Remedial education for those who are not yet furious about drug prohibition

I don’t think this will make much of a difference unless the Mayor also takes down all of the other cameras around the city and the RRHA cameras. All of them live feed into the “crime center” that RPD was given funding to create at RPD.
All cameras should come down.
NOW: @DannyAvula says Richmond will not renew its contract with Flock #valeg
The Richmond mayor says henrico’s similar move makes the concept less useful: “crime doesn’t end at the county line”

Prohibition and opioid deprescribing are two of the most profound government-induced death campaigns of the last century. They have criminalized doctors (or deputized them as med cops) and justified racist structural oppression by police, child welfare, landlords & employers
Instead of weddings & baby showers we go to funerals. #DrugProhibition #NoMoreDrugWar
#SafeSupplySavesLives
And don’t get me started on “sober living houses…”

This is why I have been trying to educate people about the difference between unregulated drugs vs. Fentanyl.
If people can't grasp this simple understanding they won't be able to understand why drug poisonings happen.

In the commentary, Kolodny subtly concedes that illicit fentanyl drives opioid-involved overdose deaths and quietly skirts how increased OD deaths occurred as a result of flawed federal opioid policy influenced disproportionately by PROP. He’s ironically warning us about Kratom, knowing that he leveraged PROP to earn millions as an MDL Expert Witness - all at the cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives.

It’s not a coincidence that we never hear anyone speak transparently about what “non-opioid pain care” is or what these patient’s experiences were like.
The Alternatives to PAIN Act (H.R. 1227) now has 100+ cosponsors! Thank you to every Member supporting expanded access to non-opioid pain care, and special thanks to original cosponsors @RepBarragan and @RepMMM

if you only knew how bad things really are
as long as the drug war runs, addiction medicine is a scam, a bottomless pit of #fraud & waste.
the customer is always wrong,
the outcomes do not matter.
rehabs/recovery centers are virtual unregulated & relapse almost guaranteed

Healthcare in the U.S. continues to prioritize profits over patient care & outcomes. Medical professionals & have abandoned their oaths & allowed evidence based care to be dictated by an industry with zero expertise in the highly specialized fields their patients require.
Patient story: "they made me get these injections and when I stopped. I got dropped."
Is anyone going to address this crisis of extortion and what is happening to pain patients? @DrOzCMS @RobertKennedyJr

If we want to actually do something about the cartels, we can start by ending the War on Drugs. We already ran this experiment with the mob during Prohibition. Turns out banning things just made organized crime richer. A regulated drug market is safer for everyone.

Check out The Price of Mercy by @galvinalmanza. It’s not a book about prison abolition but you may find yourself a prison abolitionist when you’re done. It is incredible and heartbreaking at the same time. It also includes a great conversation with my friend @stephenhrnrp.
