While people can have access to #pharma #drugs if they wish, I am also going to be critical of the industry that denies access to alternatives that are safer with fewer side effects. Hypocrisy should be called out. #decriminalize #mentalhealth #ADHD.

It's the pharmaceutical industry that blocks *most* of us from accessing the solutions that doesn't involve theirs. They are gatekeeping alternatives. Support has to go both ways. If others aren't advocating for allowing us to have access to alternatives, then that is unfair.

Understood, it is my personal experience that it is true. However, I could have said it better and saying it is not helpful as the default option because that's what been promulgated and it isn't the answer for most.

Adrienne, wondering if you have tried non-traditional pharmaceuticals or curious to explore that option? Many people I know have and they prefer that to the side effects of traditional pharmaceutical meds. Obviously, like you imply, it's not one size fits all - totally get that. ☮️

In a #decrminalized way btw. I don't need gatekeeping or permission to access these alternative and I don't want to be treated as a criminal for using them either. These are now proven to be way safer and more effective than traditional pharmaceuticals.

That's right. I didn't say it should be blocked but I think expansion of alternatives is preferable to blocking anything. If people want access to pharmaceutical, then I would urge support for non-pharmaceutical alternatives for others. It would be hypocritical to allow one and not the other.

As a person with this condition, I don't think the #pharma stuff is actually helpful. I manage my condition quite well without the pharmaceutical meds. It may be useful for some, but most of us want access to alternatives that is not pharma based.

What's happening is decades in the making and we democrats didn't pay attention to the frustrations enough. We have 2 years to show what we can do and even if we win the house or the senate back, if it goes back to status quo, it won't last. What's happeing is not irreversible. Focus! then win!

Irony indeed!

Although, having used @deepseek.bsky.social, I haven't found it all that compelling for the types of research that I do so I am not sure @OpenAI has anything to worry about just yet. I am curious what @hf.co released with their research but I haven't able to get access to that, yet!

The #oligarchy is in.

We are so going to lament and miss Lina Khan @FTC
