    We need to lower stigma and educate society about addiction: it’s a chronic disease that must be treated with science, urgency, and compassion. #StopAddiction #EnableRecovery #TheAtlanticFestpic.twitter.com/GeusQm8QIC

        Thank you. Please then do something useful by supporting lawsuits against jails for refusing to dispense generic suboxone to inmates. Cheers! @leobeletsky @drsarahwakeman @peter_grinspoon @zachwritesstuff

        Is opioid addiction the only public health issue you focus on? What about T1D, childhood cancer, mental illness? Addiction is a choice. Septic shock survivor here - I’ve been there. I CHOOSE not to be an addict. I live with pain. My T1D grandson lives only by injected insulin 💰

        It is not a disease. It's the result of careless and greedy politicians who've allowed pharmaceutical companies & @US_FDA to introduce powerful synthetic painkillers into society over many decades. Just everyone go cold turkey and forget the side affects.
