Drug use stance: against it. Its illegal.
Harm reduction: agree with it. It’s part of our training. (Is it not part of HIV 101 training?) It focuses on keeping drug users alive and as healthy as possible
If you're curious about substance use, let's talk about how we can prevent you from starting.
If you are using, let's talk about it - the good, the bad, the ugly. When you're ready, let's talk about how you can make your way out of it alive.
I’m afraid all this talk about moderating your drug use and being responsible about it can be misconstrued into “Hey! They’re saying illegal drugs are ok as long as I’m responsible”.
I’d like for us to empasize that it’s STILL not ok and it’s STILL ILLEGAL.
I wish we could separate the discussion between:
1. posts applying harm reduction principles to people who are already using
2. posts discouraging drug use even in moderation to prevent curious people from starting
@inkd_chef@this_is_jawsh It’s great that you clarified you show up before shit hits the fan so to speak. Earlier kasi you sort of implied you can’t really to anything but wait e
SUNTAY'S SEXUAL REMARKS VS ANNE CURTIS STRICKEN OUT OF RECORDS
WATCH: At the deliberations of the House justice committee on the impeachment suits against Vice President Sara Duterte, Quezon City Rep. Bong Suntay said he once had desires on actress and TV host Anne Curtis.
"Sinabi niya lang iyon, nagpapatawa lang siya. Lastly, alam mo minsan nasa Shang-rila ako, nakita ko si Anne Curtis, ang ganda ganda pala niya. May desire sa loob ko na nag-init talaga at na-imagine ko na lang ang pwedeng mangyari. Siyempre hanggang imagination ko na lang 'yun. Siyempre hindi ako pwedeng kasuhan dahil kung ano-ano ang na-imagine ko," he said, while defending the remarks of Duterte as the "designated survivor."
Suntay insisted there was no sexual innuendo with his remarks.
The committee voted to strike his manifestations from the records. | @bylancemejico
Umm I hope people would still tell their friends to stop despite how “rarely it works”. We can tell them to stop AND offer support. Let’s not wait for them to hit the lowest of lows before we make ourselves available to them.
I’ve been around long enough to see all of these. The parties, the pressure, the ways people cope, but no matter how hard you tell someone to stop, it rarely works. All you can do is be there if they ask for help, listen and not judge.
We call it moderation until it isnt. We call it just once until someone builds a dependency. We call it harmless until theres an overdose, a family grieving, or a life quietly falling apart.
Maybe some people can handle it. But lets not pretend the risks arent real.
