Desinformationen machen.
Alkohol zerlegt mit Anlauf unsere Demokratie. Viele Autounfälle passieren unter Alkoholeinfluss, Neugeborene kommen geschädigt zur Welt.
Nur im letzten Jahr starben um die 50000 Menschen in DE an den Folgen des Alkoholkonsums

Every dollar spent on #addiction treatment, housing, #harmreduction and mental health saves several in justice costs, emergency care and lost productivity. Every dollar spent on enforcement yields almost no measurable reduction in drug use or overdoses. #crime

The @WHO’s own treaty defines tobacco control as including harm reduction. Yet COP11’s agenda leaves it out, reframing it as “industry narrative.” Science shouldn’t be rewritten to fit ideology. #TobaccoControl #HarmReduction clearingtheair.eu/en/post/cop1...
COP11 agenda dismisses harm reduction as ‘tobacco industry narrative’
The World Health Organisation’s upcoming tobacco control summit, COP11, is under fire for framing harm reduction as a “tobacco industry narrative” - a move that critics say sidelines evidence and…

At the Housing First & #HarmReduction Conference in Lisbon, our ED Anton Basenko made it clear: We’ve survived enough. It’s time to lead.

People who use drugs are shaping the future of #DrugPolicy — loud, proud and powerful.

Nehmen wir Cannabis mal raus, sind es 181000 Tote jedes Jahr.

einer besseren Regulierung. Die hohe Verfügbarkeit, der niedrige Preis, treiben viele erst in die Sucht.
Gesundheitsschutz sollte an erster Stelle stehen!
Auch bedarf es Warnhinweise auf Alkoholprodukten.

Like so many #addiction treatment providers, I once saw mandated (i.e. forced) treatment as a "necessary evil."

I don't know when I first internalized the idea that evil is ever "necessary," but I'm working to unlearn it now.

Bei dem Schaden, welcher Alkohol jährlich entstehen lässt, sollte dieser nicht im Supermarkt erhältlich sein!
Ein vernünftiger Schutz wäre diesen in Fachgeschäften zu verkaufen (Tabakwaren übrigens auch)

The war on drugs and drug prohibition is pointless. Unless the point is to stigmatise and subjugate people who use drugs.

Drug users' rights are #HumanRights — full stop. This is true on #InternationalDrugUsersDay & the other 364 days of the year. Today & always at NHRC, we will continue our life-saving, evidence-backed #HarmReduction work that centers the people most impacted by drug use: People who use drugs.
Over black and white lines pattern background, bold, all caps copy over teal/blue text boxes reads, "DRUG USERS' RIGHTS ARE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, BODILY AUTONOMY RIGHTS, HEALTH CARE RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS." The words, "DRUG USERS' RIGHTS" and "HUMAN RIGHTS" are in black, the rest of the copy is in white. The words, "HUMAN RIGHTS" are underlined in hot pink.

Kratom drinks like “Feel Free” are being sold in gas stations and going viral on TikTok, but they’re not as harmless as they look.
1/4 🧵

This viral wellness drink is being sold nationwide, but health experts say it's not as safe as it looks. The drink combines kratom and kava and is marketed for "relaxation/focus". But the substance krater is not FDA-approved and has opioid-like effects including withdrawal, liver damage, and addiction. Before you try that "wellness" shot, ask yourself: What's in it? Is it regulated? Could it affect my recovery or health? Wellness shouldn't come with withdrawal.

use safe manufacturing techniques with opioids. and have no problem dumping the waste product into rivers. In other words the law should change and just require doctors to keep supplying and managing their addicted patients. it would reduce harm. #harmreduction #science #scientist #Political

We need to get comfortable with being wrong and also support colleagues as they realize they are wrong. If we're really here for our patients/clients/participants/people, rather than status or ego, we are willing to change our minds and approaches.

People who reject #HarmReduction are uncomfortable with the increasing number of experts who they thought were on-side, who looked at the evidence and shift to support harm reduction.

Do you never consider the remote possibility that you might be wrong? And the harm you cause if you ARE wrong?

Wenn man sich auf Festen oder anderen Gelegenheiten erklären muss, warum man keinen #Alkohol trinken möchte, dann herrscht in unserer Gesellschaft ein gewisses Defizit!
Sie wissen dass es sich beim Alkohol um eine Hartdroge,wie Kokain u. Heroin handelt?

Klar, #Cannabis braucht strenge Regeln – wer bekifft ist, könnte ja plötzlich empathisch, ruhig und selbstreflektiert werden.
Alkohol hingegen sorgt zuverlässig für Schlägereien, Leberzirrhose und Volksfeste. Tradition verpflichtet! 🍺💚
