"and that simple action can save lives"

[CNN @CNN]

Dr. Ayana Jordan explains during a CNN town hall about the fentanyl crisis how to use Narcan, a nasal spray that blocks the effects of fentanyl and other opioids.

[Dr. Erin Bonar @erinbphd]

Prevention is needed to GET AHEAD of the overdose crisis and substance use disorders. We can do more than react, prevention science is leading the way to better public health! @NIH @NIDAnews

And that, said Jeffrey on Twitter that day
Is the stupidest thing I've heard anyone say.
Should teachers need parents to give their consent
Before any second of class time is spent
On answering students with questions on race?
My God. How'd we ever wind up in this place?

Drug decrim means people who use drugs will never go to jail just for using/possessing drugs.

10 years ago this month, I was a full-time paramedic student on the dean’s list, working at Domino’s Pizza, earning income and military education benefits. I was addicted to heroin.🧵

(22/22) If you’ve gotten this far & you have one takeaway, I hope it will be this:

Any research on the impacts of drug user health interventions needs to actually express an understanding of how those interventions work in practice & document experiences of people who use drugs.

More justification for my workplace 2023 resolution - end my meetings with at least five minutes (ideally ten) to spare. Everyone needs a break!

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Researchers studied the impact of meetings on our brains.

This is fascinating…

The last article I want to share abt this ever -

In summary:

(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

(4) Children time is precious—be present.

(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

Brief demonstration using turmeric and salt to show how I believe fentanyl contamination of cocaine occurs accidentally towards the end of the supply chain. Easy to do if using the same surface. #HarmReduction

There's a whole culture around moms being so stressed that they need to drink multiple glasses of wine per day. How is it that this is laughable and relatable content, but people casually doing any other drug is cause for intervention?
