  Take a page from the gay rights movement. We need both policy change, language change, and visual representation in the media of the true diversity of people who use drugs or are in treatment/recovery. #EndTheStigma. Be the #StigmaFreeSG @JeromeAdamsMD

  Our pop music culture surely has quietly endorsed opiate use in different genres but I’m not so certain our troubled, addicted musicians have the solution. And if you’ve never battled addiction, please don’t sing to me about it.

  Music does a lot of healing along with art and other creative things, it’s good to find a positive outlet. :)
