  5. Agency of Fear by Edward Jay Epstein, 2018

    President Bush has made the war against drugs the number one issue on the contemporary American political agenda. In this revised edition of his classic book, available for the first time in paperback, Edward Jay Epstein argues that the president has adopted the strategy of his forebear, Richard Nixon, in using the drugs war to blame foreigners for the crisis in America’s cities, and to provide a smokescreen

  6. …[In addition to hiring the #SexOffender Zarkin,] #BillPulte hired Aaron Kofsky, a former advisor to Senator #JDVance before Vance became VP, & later put him in charge of the #FHFA’s Division of Housing Mission & Goals. Last year, Vance fired Kofsky for posting online about using drugs including #cocaine & #opiates, according to a story in Wired magazine, which first reported his posts.

  12. Passing this on because it is the best summary of the issues surrounding #Kratom I've seen to date...

    "Legal Morphine’— The Rise of Kratom and 7-OH in the US"

    medscape.com/viewarticle/legal

    Key warning is 👉 avoid purified "7-OH" products. 👈

    You CAN get too much of a good thing!

    "The most well-studied compounds in kratom are #mitragynine and 7-OH... At low doses, mitragynine’s mixed receptor profile (adrenergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic) yields mild stimulant and mood-boosting effects."

    "By contrast, concentrated 7-OH preparations are 30-40 times more potent at opioid receptors and produce rapid-onset analgesia, euphoria, respiratory depression, and classic #Opioid -type #withdrawal. As previously reported by Medscape Medical News, research has shown that 7-OH (formerly known as (7-HMG) has high abuse potential and may also increase the intake of other #opiates."

  17. LB: These #nitazenes are even finding its way into the #partydrugs used at #raves and #festivals (where #opiates are generally unpopular) and its leading to fatalities (my friends told me about one case at a prominent UK festival just last year, a young man who would not normally touch opiates was killed)

  18. @TexasObserver according to The Iron Law Of Prohibition fentanyl itself was created by the #WarOnDrugs. Milton Friedman correctly predicted our current predicament in the pages of Time Magazine like 50 years ago.

  20. That being there, I'm planning to post more texts in noth French and English. It might be quite ambitious, but in French, I have the project to write something aiming to be a book as a final product, on my addiction to heroin/opiods and my recovery, wuth maybe bilingual snippets for my english audiance. #writing #writingcommunity #addiction #heroin #opiates

  21. #Medical #marijuana costs way too much in #Australia.

    Why the hell isn’t it on the PBS? I had to go get a specialist permit so go let me be special at a reasonable price. I wanted this so I could avoid #opiates. It costs hundreds for small bottles.

    It’s fancy grass extract.

  22. This article from the #RAC is a bit mangled - #amfetamine, #benzodiazepines and #opiates are *not* "everyday" medicines for most people - even low dose #codeine is pharmacy only (the pharmacist should warn you about #driving impairment, and the package itself has a warning), and those prescribed the controlled #drugs should already have had a warning from their GP (plus mistiming meds or sleep deprivation can easily lead to being stopped by the Police when driving)

  25. I take kratom daily for my chronic pain. Just for fun, my nurse practitioner ordered a full toxicology screen of my urine to see if anything showed up. Mitragynine (of course) and *diphenhydramine*!? Anyone know of (Canadian source) kratom laced with Benadryl? Seems plausible...

  26. #Boosts please

    How many days meant to wait after stopping #opiates before starting #LDN? Have prescribed LDN. It used to be 3 days standard but now? Dosage? I got 1.5mg but can pull apart capsules.
    What happens when start LDN?
    Your experiences also help. I know many out there been through this.

    System has pretty much abandoned me. Don’t ever live in wrong postcode.😔

  27. CW: Drugs (opiates, coke)

    Also : that's a legit question I asked myself a few days ago realising some friends or fam that didn't even drank alcohol knew ppl who did coke, my parents and their friends were cocaine enjoyers, but as a drug user I met only one other opiate user irl. And that all the ppl I knew that did drugs looked down on opiates and even people doing coke and molly and lsd regularly thought somehow only using opiates was much much worse #drugs #druguser #opiates #opiatestigma

    Wtf I am used to nodding long after #opiates use and associated muscle spams... But being woken up by a spam so big and perfectly timed for it to make me slap myself with my phone... My body really woke up and chose violence 😭

  39. #Pain advice please?

    Is #marijuana good for weaning off #opiates? Is it a replacement? Whole plant or #cannabinoid fractions? I don’t think #CBD on its own could do it.

    Is #LDN compatible with MJ products?

    What are my options?

    I’ve long term pain that isn’t going away but I don’t want to be on opiates forever, & if Australia goes the same way as the USA in legislating painkillers, I won’t have a choice anyway.

  40. No one ever told me that I might get 2 of my wisdom teeth out at age 60. Thought I'd dodged that one. Was prescribed Vicodin. I took one. How's your week going so far?
