The AMA is right to sound the alarm. And they're clear: any future medical use of kratom should go through rigorous scientific research and proper regulatory review.

👏👏 to @KevinSabet for hitting the nail: "For years, the government has failed to act. That failure has cost lives, and now is the time for a federal ban on kratom."

Joe Rogan should not be making drug policy.
Of course we should research all of these drugs and put them through trials.
But we shouldn’t put the cart before the horse and send the message that we already have answers when we still have questions.

Trump, flanked by RFK Jr and health officials — and Joe Rogan — announces his order to boost access to psychedelics.
"Joe is an amazing guy, and he wrote me a little note about this, and I had it checked out," Trump says.

America is about to learn why we established the Food and Drug Administration and a world-renowned process for medication research nearly a century ago. It was to save lives, not to treat Americans like lab rats.

From Canada to New York, harm reduction has been represented as a ‘silver bullet’ fix for the drug crisis, but the overwhelming evidence has shown these polices to be abject failures. You don’t need to just take our word for it:

“The best available evidence indicates that supervised consumption sites do little to nothing to reduce drug overdose deaths in their surrounding communities.”
