Harm reduction is rotting my brain. I was sitting here wondering why the dude was hitting himself with Narcan for a second.

My mom called me freaking out about a mouse. Unfortunately, the three cats appear to have befriended the mouse, leaving my terrified mother helpless.

I'm standing in line at the airport, awaiting my flight to an international drug policy conference — so it's ironic that I'm now seeing yet another example of Baltimore's drug-war policing.
As long as this persists, the city's response to the OD crisis will fail miserably.

For a police department that talks about violence prevention so much, Baltimore cops sure do try to kill Black people a lot. And as we saw this summer, they often succeed.
It's almost as if they are part of an inherently violent and racist institution.

Let's get something straight about medetomidine: It has existed in Baltimore's drug supply for a while now, though it has become more common.
That's at least partly attributed to states banning xylazine. Iron Law of Prohibition, motherfuckers. It's a consequence of crackdowns.
