R.I.P. James "Fergie" Ferguson II. A truly extraordinary human being. Longtime board member of @DrugPolicyOrg & @ACLU. Revered civil rights & criminal justice attorney. He got it, & fought for it, all: civil rights, civil liberties and drug policy reform

Colorado Governor Jared Polis just announced he is pardoning anyone previously convicted of psychedelic possession offenses, as he did with cannabis offenses 4 years ago. Way to go!!! #ps2025@PsychedelicSci@GovofCO
This episode on Isaac Campos' History on Drugs podcast is really worth a listen for anyone interested in the history of #cocaine & other drugs. Paul Gootenberg is truly the GOAT of drug history.

RIP my dear friend, Howard Josepher, founder of the #HarmReduction organization, @ExponentsNYC, a pioneering and innovative force in harm reduction & activist for humane drug policies.
If you suffer from #ChronicBackPain, read #HealingBackPain by #JohnSarno. In 1991, I was 48 hours from surgery for 2 herniated discs, read this book (recommended by @DrWeil), canceled my surgery, and was healed. It transformed my life.

JUSTICE seems rare these days but every once in a while a vicious murderous political leader suffers the consequences. Hallelujah!

RIP #ErnieDrucker. 1940-2025. A great pioneer and godfather of #harmreduction both in the US & globally. Helped create some of the first syringe exchange programs to reduce #HIVAIDS & helped start @housingworks & Doctors of the World, & much more. @HRInews@DrugPolicyOrg
This has been a long time coming - much too long, for no good reason - but thank you, President Biden, for doing it. You did a lot of harm as a leading #DrugWar proponent from the 80s to the 00s. This makes some amends.

The @DEAHQ shenanigans vis a vis the rescheduling process are persistent and outrageous. Both the agency and senior personnel need to be held responsible, and legislation introduced to remove #DEA from control over drug scheduling.

Read Maia Szalavitz's latest column, about what works and what doesn't in #drugtreatment, & why #12step programs are an important but very insufficient approach to #addiction, & what #RFKJr gets right & wrong.

Most of this represents an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars and does nothing to reduce overdose fatalities and other drug harms. A perfect target for Vivek Ramaswamy & Elon Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE)

This will clearly reduce #overdose fatalities and save lives. But it's also important to appreciate how #OPCs address the sorts of community concerns about public drug use that resulted in backlash against reforms in Oregon, California & elsewhere.

This remains the #1 reason why legalizing marijuana is the right thing to do. States that have not legalized keep arresting people for marijuana offenses. Those that have legalized arrest relatively few.

Great to see @Surgeon_General talk about the reduced risks of e-cigarettes for ppl who smoke w/ @jeremyfaust. It's a big step for the SG's office post its 2016 report. There's room for an updated report diving into these reduced risks + nicotine misinfo https://t.co/72aaCDvi8j
