There are easier and better ways to accrue power than running for President. Most candidates want to serve the country, trump obviously excluded.

That’s not how any of this works. People with substance use disorders use drugs because their brains have literally changed from drug use, not just because “they’re fun”. People in later stages of addiction aren’t having much fun, they’re barely surviving. If we could just teach them to use moderately, that would be amazing.
In an ideal world we’d get people to stop using drugs entirely. Unfortunately, that’s a tough goal to reach for many people. So we try to get them to use less, or differently (eg smoking instead of IV), so that they’re less likely to die.
Because it makes for a more clickbaity headline
I tried going back for a while, but when I couldn’t connect on VPN, I left again.
They’re Canadian, so no
Nice try junior
He reinstated himself?
I guess they were expecting even worse?
Some young people, some old people, some medium people. What a stupid headline. You can find “some people” that think anything.
I see “brutally shot down”, I think oh good. Then I see it’s from Newsweek and I roll my eyes.
If he wanted to lick and rim a female president of Russia I’d still say it’s our business
If the former and potential future president of the United States of America wants to blow and rim the president of the Russian federation (which he obviously does) that is indeed business of ours.
He’s a good man that’s wrong about some things. Trump is a shitty excuse for a human that’s wrong about nearly everything.
Bake America Republican Free (BARF)
Oregon doesn’t have any for profit prisons. Good job guaranteeing it though.
There are plenty of addicts that seek out help without legal compulsion. I work in a treatment center in Portland and we have way more people seeking help than we can accommodate. Housing is the biggest problem, often people wouldn’t need a residential treatment bed if they had adequate housing.
Journalists generally don’t write their headlines. It’s usually copy editors from what I’ve heard.
Oregon has expanded Medicaid and only has 6% uninsured. Treatment is free under Medicaid, but there isn’t enough treatment available because of historical disinvestment in the treatment system.
Measure 110 invested a lot of money in treatment, but you can’t fix decades of apathy in 1 year.
What was the alternative in your magical world?
That’s not the point
