Welcome new followers. Come for the hot takes on covid stigma, stay for the drugs policy, social justice, and policing tweets infused with just the right amount of cursing.
Just remember, the Spansih Flu was only called that because Spain's media was able to report about conditions while the rest of the world's media held their tongue due to censorship around WW1. Let's not shit on South Africa for having genetic sequencing and being transparent.

If you sit at a table with 10 nazis, there’s 11 nazis at the table, and this place has way more than 10 nazis on it. I can’t be part of something that makes money from platforming Nazis and reinstates bigots. See you at the big blue sky or maybe somewhere else. Adios twitter.

🧵@BrownUniversity's study confirms what people who use drugs & harm reductionists know from lived experience - overdose prevention centers don't increase crime. The study found there were no significant changes in crimes, 911 calls for crimes, medical... bit.ly/OPCsStudyFindi…
A lot of Jews are sacred because we’re wondering how many people think like this but just haven’t decided to be open about it. How many of our friends think like this? How many of our neighbors? How many in our communities? You can call it paranoia. I’d call it experience.
“Hitler knew how to deal with these people.” Listen to this pro-Palestinian protestor in London. Is he just an anti-Zionist, not an anti-Semite?
Our latest by @isjinpan, Stability of Aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 on Masks and Transfer to Skin, suggests fomite transmission by masks contaminated with aerosolized virus isn't a thing, although it could still be possible with large droplets. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Only 0.02% of ppl crossing illegally into the US have been found to possess any fentanyl. In 2022, 88% of fentanyl trafficking convictions were for U.S. citizens; almost all foreign fentanyl is brought by US citizens through ports of entry. The lie (& the racism) is intentional
Ron DeSantis: "If someone in the drug cartels is sneaking fentanyl across the border when I'm president, that's gonna be the last thing they do. We're gonna shoot them stone cold dead."

“Screaming during vomiting” is not unique to the vomiting of cannabinoid hyperemesis, nor can we say “screaming” is mechanistically attributable to THC (and there’s not even a mechanism for the vomiting fwiw). Let’s stop trying to make new perjoratives for people who use drugs.
Cannabis is often associated with relieving nausea, but in some cases too much of its psychoactive compound THC can induce “scromiting” – episodes of simultaneous screaming and vomiting. newscientist.com/article/239883…
Appreciate the opportunity yesterday to speak at @Cannabis_Canada Grass on the Hill event alongside MP @PatrickBWeiler. Knowing that sound cannabis policy is being handled by leaders like him is such a great feeling. 20 years ago I never would have imagined we’d see this.
As Co-Chair of the Cannabis Caucus, it was a pleasure to mark this occasion, rising in the House to celebrate this anniversary, speaking on a panel on the future of cannabis in Canada, and meeting with leaders in the cannabis industry 💚 (2/2)
Obviously this is a setback for @TobaGrown and the people of MB. That said, @JackLloydLawyer and I are working on the appeal now. But judicial solutions to bad laws are hard to come by. This awful conservative-created prohibition should be lifted by the new @mbndp government.
