But this type of viewpoint is actually super shallow: It delights only in unearthing ”a loophole” that seems smart on the surface, but it reveals the person has no deep understanding of #addiction, #substanceabuse as a thing that happens to actual people at all.
I did proceed to explain to them that the labels are not there to stop people from abusing solvents, but from taking that last hit that will kill them. And the cigarette labels are to make less people pick up smoking.
Young adults in rural Appalachia with more indicators of despair (hopelessness, helplessness, low self-worth, and feeling unloved) have more suicidal thoughts and behaviors, higher illicit drug and opioid use, but not alcohol use disorder.

" Three years ago, Oregonians approved Ballot Measure 110, which eliminated criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of any drug, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine...Early results of this reform effort, the first of its kind in any state, are now coming into view, and so far, they are not encouraging."

Their Families Said They Needed Treatment. #Mississippi Officials Threw Them in #Jail Without Charges.

In Mississippi, serious mental Illness or #SubstanceAbuse can land you in jail, even if you aren’t charged with a crime.
The state is a stark outlier in jailing so many people for so long, but many officials say they don’t have another option.

from an #FDA news release:
"Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a new draft guidance to highlight fundamental considerations to researchers investigating the use of psychedelic drugs for potential treatment of medical conditions, including psychiatric or substance use disorders. This is the first FDA draft guidance that presents considerations to industry for designing clinical trials for psychedelic drugs.
"There has been growing interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs in recent years. They are being evaluated for use in the potential treatment of conditions such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders and other conditions. However, designing clinical studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these compounds presents a number of unique challenges that require careful consideration."
