ICYMI: As long as these crackdowns continue, drug users will face a more lethal drug supply — and unhoused individuals will be forced to leave their community or go to a shelter that is ill-equipped to meet their needs.

Low-level drug arrests have doubled in some police districts in Baltimore this year. Since July, the city has cleared 23 encampments.

Baltimore opts to take a deal for a fraction of the huge opioid settlement it sought to address its severe OD crisis—$152 million, vs billions.
Harm reductionists are still optimistic the money can make a meaningful difference, reports @loganhullinger.bsky.social:

Baltimore Accepts Offer for Fraction of the Opioid Settlement It Sought
While city officials and harm reductionists express optimism, the decision will inevitably mean scaling back overdose prevention plans.

We should allow people to use drugs just for the reason that many recreational drugs are fun and can be safely consumed
I wish these people would just admit they like doing drugs. Rick Perry tripping on hallucinogens for 12 hrs on a mattress in Tijuana for repressed childhood anxiety is not medical. It’s doing drugs. There’s no good evidence it has ever worked to treat any condition. They’re also trying to profiteer…
Look maybe the psychedelic ibogaine will be genuinely medically useful, I don't know, but... well, this story about Rick Perry's evangelism for it is a tad too gullible for my taste.

This cop is carrying a 'espantoon' which originated in and exclusively a Baltimore police nightstick.
What makes it distinct? The end that most would assume is the handle (called the Barrel head) is the end they use to hit you.
Attached is a leather strap that allows them to twirl it..for 'fun'.

this is maddening and incredibly true
After over a decade we *finally* start seeing a drop in the overdose death rates & thanks to MAGA we’re going to go & undo that progress as fast as we can.
Found out today that my state cut all preexisting funding for overdose prevention, addiction, & “harm reduction efforts to reduce overdose rates and deaths.”
The city I live and work in has as many overdose deaths as San Francisco and my state is in the top worst for overdose for the past 15 years.

Lots of folks failing to come to terms w this, assuming things will blow over, and giving me & peers the same old advice about optimizing for the academic job market. The work rn is to dig into community w those looking to build something else, not self-optimizing and gambling for the old to return
This is a rupture, there will be a before and an after. There is no reason to believe the after will resemble the before, at all. This is a demarcation in the lives of thousands of researchers and tens of thousands of educators.
