Appreciate you. You rage harder than anyone I’ve ever known. Your knowledge and content is remarkable. Keep fighting. Keep posting please.

@Graydad2 @KuceraChristine It just does not induce respiratory depression in anyone besides infants. I’ve personally seen an adult overdose on 1440 mg and have no effect besides being sleepy. I wrote about its safety here: https://t.co/cqxlT5tE4H

@Mrxptc A lot of the lobbying for that was actually based on work I did! https://t.co/cqxlT5tE4H

@RepAdamSmith Outdated and draconian federal barriers to one of the best *evidence-based* ways to reduce opioid overdoses, deaths and other harms! Thank you Representative Smith! Please know I’d be happy to help your team in any way I can on this issue.

@CDesign It doesn’t have any cardiotoxicity even in overdose

Compare the heart-stopping potential of this OTC drug to a much safer med like buprenorphine, which only ~5% of prescribers are even eligible to prescribe (actual prescribing is even lower) thanks to draconian laws based in racist policy from a century ago

@RepKatiePorter Can you use your position as a legislator to remove the DEA X waiver process (part of DATA2000) for prescribing medications to treat addiction? https://t.co/4kgMMfNjeJ

You know this makes me furious, right?

@_jennystarfish_ People conflate “diversion” with “abuse” (or misuse). This just shows that it’s not available enough and not prescribed enough. More than 90% of diverged buprenorphine is used for withdrawal or treatment of addiction. https://t.co/4kgMMfNj
