Some medical providers are basically discriminating against medical cannabis patients and refusing to prescribe essential medications. For example, ADHD medications or medications used to treat Opioid Use disorder #NUR638#healthequity
@DrKimSue Getting wrecked was a welcomed gritty break from the more formal research happenings in #NURS38. It's cold & hard truth about OUD and the cyclic effects of incarceration without proper treatments for addiction. #endopioidoverdose#checkyourselfb4uwreckyourself
@HanJTK@timkaine@TimKaine Our youth is at risk as high dose synthetic opioid manufacturing, sale, use and addiction spirals out of control. Testing kits will SAVE LIVES from senseless substance use. #NUR638#endopioidoverdose
@boykin_n@RepSpanberger can we advocate more aggressively to get synthetic opioids on lock down or eliminate production before more lives are lost to this preventable crisis rooted in pharmaceutical greed?? #NUR638#endopioidoverdose
With the synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, overdoses are on the rise. In addition to regulating opioid prescribing, other policy challenges, such as controlling marketing for powerful synthetic opioid and improving access to addiction treatment are required.#Nur638
My eyes cant unsee the sickening interplay between healthcare and politics. It will be challenging to face the enemies destroying the health of our people. Legislation is only as good as the intentions of the people backing it.@Nur621 #dontwait#SpeakUP#nur638
@KamVTV Imagine a dead guy/lady looking for his/her letter opener and then this same dead body walking down and lputting the pre filled card in the mailbox and trying to get the little red flag to go up so the post man can pick it up 😂 what would the neighbors think of all that?!?!
@ProfilesInLegal#nur638 As of 2/3/22 37 states, DC and 3 territories support HB 287. IMO re-framing marijuana to cannabis is more acceptable to the public. What are your thoughts on what could be done for easier access for the patients? https://t.co/XT7LzB70EN
@CreighDeeds Supporting suicide prevention and awareness is a critical need. Advocating for a culture change around suicide prevention at the local level will help society understand and lead to improved access to mental health care and address this national crisis. #NUR638
@RepSpanberger Fentanyl-related overdoses and mortalities are continuing to increase in VA. Abstinence is not enough. Increasing access and availability of fentanyl testing kits is a viable option to help protect our communities #NUR638
@HHSGov No negotiations- Medication Assisted Therapies (MAT) for the ongoing crippling Opioid crisis should be included the list of medications included in the Inflation Reduction Act.

@Repspanberger
Opioid use disorder has touched every corner of our country and ALL areas in between lets ensure opioid use disorder medications are included in the Inflation Reduction Act. #MAT#supportRECOVERY#nur638
@RepSpanberger Way to be a visible champion amidst the opioid crisis! Expanding access to lifesaving treatments and training others in the process of addiction and recovery is essential to improve health equity. Now lets support the courts & provide resources, funding & proper training. #nur638
