An "actual action" at the @MethadoneLib conference last year in NYC they blacklisted any speakers who advocated clinic abolition but they had an ED from an OTP on a panel. No speaker against MOTAA. So who is alienating who? Are they "real allies?"

It’s a huge racket
This is actually called rape.
We want clinic abolition, what’s worth reforming?@FreeMethadone

We are still stuck at a place where our government and prohibitionists care more about removing access to Rx opioids than they do saving lives. Which is it going to be? Prohibition or lowering death rate?
Who’s running for city council in the 3rd district? #Richmond
Many people here in Australia pick up their methadone from the pharmacy and check in with their general practitioner every ~30 days initially, and afterwards ~90 days or so. In US, profit motive of methadone clinics is central over client safety/wellbeing

Agree & with MOTAA inevitably failing our enemies at AATOD & DEA & media will pounce & the tiny incremental step in the right direction could be repealed making it much harder for fundamental reform to happen, which is OTP abolition/pharmacy dispensing #NOMOTAA

My friend was on sublocade for 7 months, had a false positive UDS one appointment and they discharged her without even a chance to take another test. So what’s the real goal because it’s clearly not saving lives….

A Methadone Program is Legal & Medical Punishment for Needing Methadone. These Programs are Far More Restrictive & Unforgiving than even Probation. But then, your “Program” Is a Carceral-Legal Approach to a Medical Issue. No “Controlled Substance” Needs to be Controlled ThatMuch.
They call it a program because they program people to put money in their bank account with torture.

@melbee4444 @FreeMethadone @MethadoneLib What is a concrete way that you think we could do that? I don't ask condescendingly, I ask very genuinely because I'd love either get rid of them or totally restructure them from the ground up. It just seems our most likely path will be reforming current laws alongside the OTPs
Just to reiterate what disabled people have been saying: the push against masking was always about surveillance.
They want demonstrations to scale back - and they’re trying to play on the grief of the community. Seriously, fuck the RPD. Also, blaming demonstrators for “staffing issues” when their budget increases every year is nasty work. #DefundThePolice #AbolitionNow #FreePalestine
@jlp8844 @melbee4444 @FreeMethadone @MethadoneLib Feature, rather.
@jlp8844 @melbee4444 @FreeMethadone @MethadoneLib Even in countries with universal healthcare people can't access the drugs they need. It's an inherent problem of the drug control system. Alcohol had it too, that's why it's sold the way it is.
How would it expand access for a fair number of people in rural areas and what is a fair number? There is another consideration here, does that board certified addiction doc accept Medicaid - it's the largest payer for methadone #freemethadone
@FreeMethadone @MethadoneLib I think there should be an honest space for nuance about MOTAA. It's a watered down half-measure, but given the facts on the ground (especially in rural areas like mine with 1 methadone clinic in 4 surrounding counties), it would probably expand access for a fair # of people
Something I’m not hearing a ton about is that Gallaudet Students, from the historic college for the deaf, are also participating in solidarity encampments in the DMV area.
Huh. All of Ellen’s major donors are real estate developers (or adjacent). A few of her smaller donors are, too. There’s also some donor overlap with Reva and Stoney, which… 🪴
Just wondering why I can't make a positive post about good Nurses No one said there aren't any bad ones I'm "trying" to recognize the good ones
This idea that "drug dealers" are "preying" on people really needs to be put to rest. Drug users are grateful for good dealers. Is your local pub "preying" on people who use alcohol? Come on @RobShaw_BC, you can do better.

An "actual action" at the @MethadoneLib conference last year in NYC they blacklisted any speakers who advocated clinic abolition but they had an ED from an OTP on a panel. No speaker against MOTAA. So who is alienating who? Are they "real allies?"
@FreeMethadone @MethadoneLib Individual physicians should be judged by their actual actions and statements. I called y’all doofuses for the way you have spoken to and about Sue, Stahl, Potee, etc. Exposing the limitations of MOTA and amping up the pressure for more is great, but alienating real allies…
Tell me you’re a psychedel*c exceptionalist w/o telling me you’re a psychedel*c exceptionalist. Yup, psychedel*cs are “the casualty” here 🙄 Millions of Oregonians were stripped of their freedoms but the REAL victims here are users of psychedel*cs 🤡
Politicians don’t get it. Prohibition is the problem not fentanyl
@SenSherrodBrown Sherrie, baby, Fentanyl is here because there’s no alternative drug. If you want it to go away, offer an alternative. The only reason people are dying from it is: cartels don’t do quality control. This is a situation that lawmakers 100% created, and sadly continue nurturing.
It’s a huge racket
What exactly is "addiction treatment" anyways? Is "addiction" to social media, porn or video games the same as "addiction" to a drug? The same places offer "treatment" for all these "addictions" - so they are all basically the same thing, right?
