I think we should all RT this beautiful reworking of a familiar South African tune in honor of Elon Musk.
Thank you @MarshSongs!

"If we never stop or reduce how many people enter a cycle of harmful substance use to begin with, we’ll forever be subject to the growth of this crisis and its tragic consequences."
The necessity of prevention. My view @Oregonian.

Drug overdoses now kill the equivalent of a high school classroom of teens every week in the US.
We need to step up addiction & mental health treatment, offer naloxone & fentanyl test strips to keep youth safe.
Thanks to @rosemaryCNN for covering this critical topic.

House Bill 2513, which plugs some of the holes in Measure 110, doesn't even begin to address the needs in the youth addiction system. That's in large part because Oregon has no system to begin with despite years of warnings. Editorial: oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/…

This will save lives. “The bill would force the Oregon Health Authority, State Board of Education, and Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission, to collaborate on developing curricula on the dangers of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, and counterfeit or fake drugs.”
The chance for a potentially deadly mistake is driving a new push for awareness in schools. Oregon lawmakers want more young kids to learn about the danger of fentanyl.

I come away from a conference on addiction scared--and if you're not scared of fentanyl, you're not paying attention. It's increasingly used in counterfeit pills of all kinds, and young people pass them around. Spread the word: A single pill can kill nickkristof.substack.com/p/i…

The number of deaths connected to #fentanyl are alarming. Clark County lost 16 kids under 18 to fentanyl overdoses between 2020 and 2021. As summer approaches, we are pleading with the community to take this seriously.

2 more teens died of fentanyl in fake pills in Portland last week. A reminder of the pervasiveness & seriousness of this issue nationally. A flood of Illicit fentanyl fact it's sold deceptively as counterfeit pills over social media = 20 year trend break-out of kid drug death.
