This episode on Isaac Campos' History on Drugs podcast is really worth a listen for anyone interested in the history of #cocaine & other drugs. Paul Gootenberg is truly the GOAT of drug history. @historyondrugs open.substack.com/pub/isaacc…

We know how to end smoking

But governments, the World Health Organization and so-called public interest groups stand in the way.

If you suffer from #ChronicBackPain, read #HealingBackPain by #JohnSarno. In 1991, I was 48 hours from surgery for 2 herniated discs, read this book (recommended by @DrWeil), canceled my surgery, and was healed. It transformed my life. nytimes.com/2025/03/18/well/…

This has been a long time coming - much too long, for no good reason - but thank you, President Biden, for doing it. You did a lot of harm as a leading #DrugWar proponent from the 80s to the 00s. This makes some amends. nytimes.com/2025/01/17/us/po…

Biden Commutes Sentences of Nearly 2,500 Drug Offenders (Published 2025)

The action, aimed at inmates who received harsher sentences based on old disparities in drug laws, is the broadest commutation of individual sentences ever issued by a U.S. president.

Most of this represents an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars and does nothing to reduce overdose fatalities and other drug harms. A perfect target for Vivek Ramaswamy & Elon Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE) idpc.net/publications/2024/1…
