Legalize THC and classic psychedelics already! These substances have potential to help people heal:
- THC: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahyd…
- LSD: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD
- Psilocybin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocyb…
Why keep these therapeutic tools hidden? Research shows promise for mental health treatment.
Screw the system! Boost if you're ready for change!

I had the privilege of living and working in #myanmar in 2007 on an #hiv and #harmreduction program. This is from the UN high commissioner for human rights. In Türk’s own words “The human rights situation in Myanmar is among the worst in the world […] The military continued its campaign of terrorizing the population through acts of extreme brutality, including beheadings, burnings, mutilations, executions, torture, and the use of human shields.”
Congrats people under 30 ! It appears you are breaking the inherited dependency on nasty alcohol consumption.
This entry in my blog explores FOUR TRICKS ( and 28 links) to make much wiser use of cannabis, all from harm-reduction perspective.

Please read my new Medium article, which puts a spotlight on Canadian harm reduction activist Dr. Mark Tyndall who is responsible for creating the MySafe safe supply project and defending Vancouver's Insite from being shut down.
He is a true Canadian hero who has saved countless lives.

💊 did you know that most prescription medications don't actually "expire"?
recent research proved that if you store them properly, they lose almost no potency even *decades* later
👉 tip: fill prescriptions even if you don't take that med anymore and stockpile them for emergencies because odds are good that someone you know uses that medication and won't be able to access it in an emergency
you might even save a life

I was just waiting for this.
Any time people take it upon themselves to help the homeless, the government tells them to stop.
My only advice, if you do help the homeless, is to ignore the government when they tell you to stop and actively resist their efforts to stop you if they take that next step.
Fucking ridiculous.

Adam Zivo: Meth-fuelled orgies are bad
Harm reduction policies are leading to mixed messages about the unequivocal danger of meth-fuelled sex in the gay community.The Line
This makes me nervous. Crackdowns on drugs have historically been ineffective, Canada is not a major source of fentanyl in the United States (only 19 kg of fentanyl were seized at the Canadian border last year, vs. over 9,000 kg at the Mexican border), and this has potential to set back harm reduction progress we've made in the past decade.

‘In general, Texas has been reluctant to embrace the strategy of harm reduction, a broadly defined term for helping people who use drugs without stigmatizing or imposing strict parameters, while also involving drug users in planning and implementation. Harm reduction has been promoted in the United States since at least the 1980s.’ #WarOnDrugs #HarmReduction

How Texas’ War on Drug Users Fueled an Austin Overdose Disaster
A mass casualty event last spring lays bare the state’s backward approach to the ongoing crisis spurred by fentanyl and other super-potent substances.Jason Buch (The Texas Observer)
Indigenous Canadians are the hardest hit by the Opioid Crisis in Canada. Yet there is an appalling lack of research into the issue at the federal level. Most research comes from British Columbia or Alberta, which doesn't tell us enough about the national situation. Municipal level research is patchwork and mostly absent.
We need more data. We need more compassion.
The war on drugs must end. Drug prohibition and punitive drug policies have failed for over seven decades, it is time for evidence-based drug policy reform based on compassion for substance users.
I'm proud to stand with nurses and doctors along with harm reduction advocates in support of Doctors For Safer Drug Policy, and the OPS in the #comoxvalley. We need #allthetools to stop the deaths and to end the #toxicdrugsupply in Canada.
The Green Party believes in evidence based solutions in order to provide the safest, effective and inclusive care for all Canadians.
