After a short experiment, seems that life is better without (what) twitter (has become) so I’m signing out. Not deleting account and may check in once in a while. Maybe. I’m easy to find at my uni website. Bye and be well friends.

A small thing in the moment but a welcome one: today's mail brought the latest issue of History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals, a special issue on commerce and psychedelics. It looks great. @LucRichert

How does "colorblindness" contribute to racial health inequities, and what can we do about it? Ben Sommers, Sam Sommers and I discuss this question—prompted by the recent SCOTUS decision on affirmative action—in our new @JAMAHealthForum article https://t.co/RRjLdzl6n9

@ZachWritesStuff Congratulations!!!

“Tolerating” low-level dealing fixes only one problem, it doesn’t *regulate* drug sales to protect consumers and the neighborhoods they live in. Doesn’t incentivize good selling practices. We know how to use regs to shape market behaviors lets try that. https://t.co/HIfJQkivLh

“Addiction” may be super complicated and on the way out as a term to explain harmful/chaotic drug use, but it seems unambiguously bad when enormous multinational corporations who definitely believe in addiction devote themselves to creating a ton of it. https://t.co/jQfO6CbvsQ

@jmgabriel72 Aw man shit im sorry, hope you see the other side soon ♥️

[DavidHerzberg @dhbuffalo]

I'm not a quant guy so can't evaluate the math, and OD stats have their issues, but the results make sense to me:

Supply-side interventions need to be designed to protect ALL consumers' wellbeing not just the ones we call "patients."
