would love for @RepKenBuck to explain what a "necessary crime" is since he seems adamant that the ones committed by folks here illegally are "unnecessary"

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

nothing to see here! https://t.co/x6taTIZtGk

the recovery process MUST include learning the skills to deal with internalized stigma

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

“synthetic meth”

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

i guess I’ll be the one to tell @MichaelRBloodAP this is gross, stigmatizing, and incredibly fucking unnecessary

Hey journalists, you know don't have to write like this. You know where else is filthy and drug infested? anywhere rich young people live

Overdose prevention sites and heroin assisted treatment: Both improve outcomes for drug users and should be deployed wherever needed https://t.co/VD66UGdRUS via @BMJ_latest #opioids #harmreduction

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

well would you look at that!

I have had this page bookmarked for over a year now and I recommend you do too. I check back monthly for updates. Note that there is a pull down option to look at drug-specific mortality rates and you can see them for most states.

has anyone talked to Max Rose about his demeanor during congressional hearings? because he looks like a real jackass

Long read: Mutant poppies, markets, quotas, #thebaine, the rise of #oxycodone, the pill-to-heroin transition and the little island of Tasmania. NDEWS SAG member @DanCiccarone's work is cited.

Overdoses at 35,000 ft? People who use drugs use them on planes too. No EMS. Is there #naloxone on board?

Airlines reported
33% (7/21) at least one in-flight opioid OD past 12mo
35% (7/20) carried naloxone in the emergency medical kit

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

heard some outlandish things about fentanyl in food from @RepJeffDuncan, but the most disappointing was his comment that “drug users” and “average Americans” are two completely different groups of people

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

after hearing her comments today, i would love for @SusanWBrooks to educate herself about law enforcement encountering fentanyl https://t.co/ZiMoEulzjQ

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

i’m very confused by @RepMcKinley claiming the US is the only place in the world where people use drugs to cope?

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

watching this morning's hearing on fentanyl and realizing i honestly have no idea who's running the ONDCP

[Sarah Merrigan @sarahcmerrigan]

glad to hear @RepDean ask about sentences related to drug-induced homicide, less thrilled to hear her say “addicts” and substance “abuse”
