I recently heard of someone who felt that they didn't deserve teeth because of their past drug use, because they had wrecked them. It pains me to think that the shame they carry is so deep that they believe they aren't deserving of a body part.
We need to stop denying drug users their humanity.

As Ireland's Citizen Assembly on Drug Use continues their deliberations, it's great to see Scotland pushing for decriminalisation of personal use.
Hoping that Ireland moves towards this model which has been proven to work in Portugal and other countries.

We need to start talking about the fact that Autistic people are more likely to self-medicate, placing us at an increased risk of addiction.
It doesn't have to be a shameful secret.
I'm David, and I'm 7 years sober.

i've been thinking abt the serious drug epidemic in america and i wanted to see what people thought about the idea of legalization and decriminalization. esp because of the war on drugs here, drugs usually aren't seen as a public health issue but rather a crime issue.
legalization has the potential to make sure drugs are clean - esp recently, drugs have been cut with other drugs that are extremely dangerous. MDMA, adderal, and oxycodone with fent, fent with xylazine, etc. is it possible to legalize, making it much safer for the people that will continue to use either way, balanced out with a *potential* new set of users?
i just wanna hear thoughts abt this situation

Man, drug use is so baffling.
Apparently when my kid brother called me to talk about going to rehab yesterday he was high, and doesn't remember the conversation, so I had to walk him through it today.
I'm really, really glad he's getting help now.

Our ancestors were having raves in Balearic caves 3000 years ago according to a new study:
"People were taking drugs in Spain 3,000 years ago, study finds
(...) Scientists say that hair from a burial site in Menorca shows that ancient human civilisations used drugs derived from plants and bushes.
It is believed to be Europe's oldest direct evidence of people taking hallucinogenic drugs.
They would have induced delirium and hallucinations, researchers found.
(...)
Along with atropine and scopolamine, which induce hallucinations, scientists found ephedrine, which boosts energy and alertness.
Researchers also noted that containers were found in the cave with spiral motifs carved on the lids. Some scholars, the report said, have considered this to represent a person's "altered states of consciousness" while under the influence of hallucinogens."

Well, that's nice. Not. I wonder if anyone now has a record over this, & if they requested an expungement?

Its important not to conflate the harms of drug use, with harms of certain drug policy choices, specifically regards the status quo; the harms of criminlisation & stigma, the empowerment & enrichment of organised crime groups, & the maximisation of risks for people who use drugs.
