  1. #Drugcrisis deepens our #economic woes
    "urine testing suggests tt actual number of #amphetamine users cld exceed 5 million, or 7.6% of population. With the cost of an amphetamine tablet ~30 baht, drugs hv become increasingly accessible to low-income earners, driving the # of users even higher. >95% of #drugaddicts in #Thailand r btw 15-59 yrs old.. Alarmingly, #government lacks baseline data on number of #drug #addicts, as no statistics r available fr any official agency"

  2. I just ran out of #weed, been high for about a month, lung kinda aches, and I've not been staying on top of hygiene and health stuff, but I'm sitting here thinking about running to the store to get an eighth.

    #Cannabis is a hell of a #drug.

  3. Experimental #antibiotic kills deadly #superbug, opens whole new class of #drugs
    Relatively large molecule clogs a transport system, leading to lethal toxicity. In this case, the new #drug—dubbed #zosurabalpin—fights off the #GramNegative #bacterium carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, aka CRAB. Though it may sound obscure, it's an opportunistic, invasive #bacteria that often strikes hospitalized and critically ill patients, causing deadly #infections worldwide. arstechnica.com/science/2024/0

  4. "psa adhd gang, people recreationally using or abusing stimulants is not why they're hard to get, they're hard to get because doctors can be absolute motherfuckers with egos the size of saturn who like to play god with people's lives. if they didn't have the "drug seeking behavior" line to use as a tool to be a dick, they'd just say "tsk tsk you're obviously wrong about your own symptoms" a little more often than they already do. peace and love on planet amphetamines.

    and this gets me because. it's like there's a contingent of adhders who heard that we're predisposed to substance abuse issues and, rather than connecting the dots of "substance abuse is often a coping mechanism resorted to in the wake of insufficient care for a psychological disorder, stigma against addicts is one more link in the chain of systemic societal ableism," instead thought "drug users are dangerous and selfish people who are out to do harm to uniquely vulnerable people like me." for a while I put this mindset down to the lack of experience and time to process ideas that comes with youth; it still sucks, but the people I knew in middle school who had bad takes about drugs and alcohol no longer think that way now we're in college, and mostly they changed their minds on their own instead of needing me or someone else to call them out directly. but there are subsets of adhd communities who used these talking points when their average age was 15 in 2016 and are still using them now when their average age is 22. so maybe the hot new trend for 2023 should be interrogating the propaganda you've been fed about drug users for your whole life and considering whether these ideas hold up to compassionate scrutiny and who benefits if you believe them."
