"If we never stop or reduce how many people enter a cycle of harmful substance use to begin with, we’ll forever be subject to the growth of this crisis and its tragic consequences."
The necessity of prevention. My view @Oregonian.

@DrScottHadland@NEJM Thank you for this thoughtful and reasonable analysis, Scott. It is hard to believe we are years into the crisis and the majority of people don’t recognize the dramatic change in the drug landscape and how it impacts youth. Your work will dramatically help to spread the word.
@hwinkler4real I loved hearing you speak last night. You are a bright light and your genuine positivity is refreshing . The world needs more people like you! Thank for making a stop in Portland!
Drug overdoses now kill the equivalent of a high school classroom of teens every week in the US.
We need to step up addiction & mental health treatment, offer naloxone & fentanyl test strips to keep youth safe.
Thanks to @rosemaryCNN for covering this critical topic.
