@elevenbands @highway_dave Casting all drug use as at least potentially pathological (which many such groups do, whether to maximise funding or otherwise) certainly doesn't help.

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@KatMelcher @highway_dave 'Addiction' as a construct is a fallacy though. Used primarily to cast certain drug use as illegitimate/ unwarranted etc. Also impossible to parse 'sUD' criteria from harms of prohibition/resulting discrimination.

@simcha1972 @ellieAPI @thechosenberg How many ppl end up with children after serious consideration, for virtuous (subjective regardless) reasons? In addition to encouraging children to be inconsiderate, this line of thinking can also veer into eugenicist territory.

@Sean_in_Kyiv @PatrioticKitten @RevDaniel @pinapolk @Newsweek Right. Geriatric is not a loaded word at all, and obstetrics/ gynocology as a field is not at all historically misogynistic.

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@Sean_in_Kyiv @PatrioticKitten @RevDaniel @pinapolk @Newsweek The term 'geriatric' in this context has (thankfully) largely been phased out. More common term 'Advanced maternal age' typically = post 40.

@l_u_n_a13 @abolishthedea Better than 'medicinal vs addiction treatment' which implies....demonic possession!

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@abolishthedea 'Drugs' is a catch all. Not problematic unless some items under the umbrella get called 'medications' instead.

@BradK87287 Drug prohibition has always been a political/ ideologically based infringement of ppls rights. Just like what's happening w/ vaping.

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@shdwstar OUD has always been a garbage term used to invalidate the myriad *valid* reasons ppl use these drugs.

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@life_is_art___ @CarolKennon4 Not uncommon amongst ppl who've previously been indoctrinated by 'drug treatment'. ( sadly socially endorsed ....'stinkin thinkin' )

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@purplemamabear @life_is_art___ Profoundly elitist attitude (underpinning vast majority of what is termed 'public health' ).

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@life_is_art___ *for those agreeable pts who acquiesce and 'admit their addiction'🫠

@SadbirdSmythe That movie and velvet goldmine. Good times.

@purplemamabear @NEndoscopy PG usually diagnosis of exclusion.

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@purplemamabear @Rosesdaughter61 Pyoderma gangrenosum tends to be diagnosis of exclusion, so could fit? Treatment involves steroids.

@ravensspirit68 The notion that all ppl using (controlled...as off label is typical otherwise) drugs for reasons other than what is is in narrow window of 'indication' are doing so simply bc 'addiction' is central to so much of this (prohibition/ overregulation) nonsense

[Taschna @Taschna_]

@ravensspirit68 In practice though, the term (and the very nebulous SUD criteria) will be applied to all ppl who use controlled drugs for any reason/ indication not considered sufficiently 'valid' (also very malleable )
