A must listen...
I notice that within convo's, about addiction & recovery. They fail to talk about the HUGE process before any treatment, which is "Detox". Peace
Harm reduction is an umbrella of interventions. Some are helpful. Some are not. Many addiction experts support harm reduction in general, while opposing grossly irresponsible “safer supply” programs. It’s common sense.
Found out my tax return is 8 thousand. Come the next day. I get a letter from a collections agency, saying I owe the car rental 7,800, for the accident. KARMA!
Went back home to Halifax, last week. Came back with a fever of 101.
They get so angry, when I say I'm proud to be NIMBY. It's not a negative, it's a pride thing. Peace

Dacey wants sympathy for an actual MAN standing up to him because they man saw him get physical and threatening to a lady. On Parliament Hill yesterday these guys were triggered and vile without any help. Patriot Smoothie is on other platforms victim blaming. Be a man Smoothie!
One thing I've noticed, is that, the NPO's in charge, only help whom they can easily help, but keep them within the community, with housing & supports, so they can continue the verbal & physical chaos, that's common. They don't know how to help them become accomplished in life,…
One of Canada's top addiction physicians weighs in on the credibility of a recent misleading study claiming so-called “safe supply” reduces overdose deaths. Common sense Conservatives will listen to the experts and cancel so called "safe supply". Recovery is possible.

3K Followers 4K Following Drug legalizer. Human rights are good. I support your right to repair and choose. Don't respond to DM.Canada's leading addiction experts are sounding the alarm about "safer supply" – but the federal government is choosing not to listen, because, for them, ideology is more important than evidence.
Dr. Martyn Judson pioneered the use of methadone in Ontario in the 1990s. He was, and remains, one of Canada's most respected addiction physicians. He sees no real evidence that "safer supply" saves lives.
Making the decision to end decriminalization is not easy, but the evidence makes it clear it is the right thing to do. @Dave_Eby @JustinTrudeau let’s refocus provincial & federal resources on access to healthcare, addiction services, & safety. #bcpoli theorca.ca/commentary/rob…
Dr. Bonnie Henry released a statement to the media regarding Dr. Caulkins' report, stating it's an effort to "monitor and understand the impacts of pharmaceutical alternatives (safe supply)". It's clear the NDP failed to ensure public safety prior to approving unwitnessed safe…
In June last year, Bonnie Henry called for cannabis model legalization of heroin, cocaine and meth. She claimed that legalization will take business away from organized crime. It appears that Henry is now trying to manufacture "evidence" to support her desired outcome.
A statement from Dr. Bonnie Henry says report looks at 'societal impacts' of SS & 'economics of drug market,' incl monitoring price paid & purity of illegal drugs. It will be part of larger report from her office finished next month, made public after govt is briefed.
🚨When will this NDP-Liberal government take responsibility for their failed safe supply policies and put a permanent END to the taxpayer-funded drug handouts?
@ThinkShiftChris @Scotiano Apologies if I implied I have been through detox. I have not. I have watched others though...
@iceblueaccent @Scotiano I remember going through it as well. But because of relapse rates being so high, many somehow forget the pain of that period. An ideal treatment process should take someone from crisis to sustainability.
@ThinkShiftChris @Scotiano Speaking personally, I haven't forgotten about detox, I see it as step one of the treatment process. It would be ideal if it could all happen in one facility.
@Scotiano Agreed. A lot happens right up to that point too. If think a lot of ppl forget the detox phase. lol. Blurry

US progressives are reversing the decriminalization of hard drugs, as they admit radical woke policies have turned cities into hellscapes. Trudeau & the NDP double down on the radical expansion of hard drugs. Ban the drugs. Treat addicts. Stop the crime. Common sense.
.@UWaterloo is hiring 2 professors of computer science Position 1 is open ONLY to scholars who “self-identify as women, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, or Two-spirit.” Position 2 is open ONLY to scholars who “self-identify as a member of a racialized minority.”
Your race is one of the least important things about you.
I love Dr Marino. Maybe great minds think alike. But drug activist twitter is riddled with bourgeois leftists with no academic training in history or politics, all generally afraid to call a spade a spade, eager to talk but scared to know, cluelessly running in circles forever.
No one is sprinkling fentanyl anywhere. This freak is what passes for a drug academic in the US. Bertha is a mentally ill woman pushing a cart full of scraps scrawled with QAnon child-harvesting theories (literally) who rushes you on the street to warn of evil drug sprinklings.
I always wanted to have a life where I had a little herb garden that I’d harvest from at night while I taking my dog out, while thinking of a delicious meal I’d cook the next day (in this case, it’s a tomato-free marinara sauce) and now I have this little life
