The "Common Sense" example is incumbent on society not individuals. For example it seems common sense to provide accessible properly labelled doses of drugs required to prevent OD. But I guess that would be seen as the dreaded socialism in the US?

Today we remember our dear friend & colleague Gary Sutton who died a year ago. He is missed so very much. Gary was an extraordinary person, intelligent, compassionate & rightfully indignant about the treatment of ppl who use drugs. We miss his humour & knowing smile #RIPGaz

My patients don’t do the “pain seeking behavior” thing that people talk about so when a patient of mine with bad opioid addiction came in complaining of severe new onset back pain, I was concerned

The point tenderness over his upper thoracic vertebrae sealed the deal 🧵

On 3rd September, I'll present a 'modest proposal' from me, @niamhrelease & @kirstie_release to decriminalise the possession of all drugs by repealing section 5(1) and (2) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. You can watch if interested.
