SAMHSA’s decision to strip people of their privacy is a serious setback for the treatment of substance use disorders and for helping the people who live with them. filtermag.org/samhsa-patient…
My latest in Filter: SAMHSA final rule on 42 CFR Part 2. In 30 days PDMPs can get methadone patient info for the first time since 2011, and law enforcement has more freedom to send confidential informants into treatment programs for 12 instead of 6 months. filtermag.org/samhsa-patient…
I live in Seattle, I have all symptoms of COVID-19 and have a history of chronic bronchitis. Since I work in a physical therapy clinic with many 65+ patients and those with chronic illnesses, I decided to be responsible and go to get tested. This is how that went.
Think marijuana legalization could be the answer for the opioid epidemic? Think again:
As a comprehensive report on drug trafficking stated last week, legalization does not eradicate the black market, it only makes it stronger and serves as a boon for criminal gangs and cartels.

Federal addiction treatment dollars off-limits for marijuana | The State thestate.com/news/article23…
.@samhsagov announced that federal monies doled out by the health agency would no longer flow to individuals or organizations that use, prescribe, or provide marijuana for the treatment of opioid use disorder and mental health issues. We applaud this public health win:
My take on the South Dakota "Meth: We're on it" campaign. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
I love a lot about the VA, but I’m going to disagree with the Secretary right out of the gate — he said it has “only been in the last 2 years that we considered veteran suicide a crisis” (ie during his time). That is not true and is insulting to VA staff.
Going from zero to sixty MPH is fun, but going from 60 to zero isn't as much; that's what it sometimes feels like when leaving the military ow.ly/6x4p30pVVTO
Not really a thing. Fake news
Sorry pot proponents: “Cannabis found not to be a substitute for opioids” eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…
A study published today found that rates of marijuana addiction among teens in states that have “legalized” marijuana were 25% higher than in states that have not legalized the substance. Our statement:
Medical marijuana was just ruled out for chronic pain by NHS in Britain. Is it time to de-endorse marijuana for glaucoma (Whiting, 2015, Sun, 2015); Crohn’s disease (Kafil 2018); PTSD (Black 2019); IBS (Patel 2018), other medical conditions endorsed by Illinois and other states?
Marijuana legalization is a vast human experiment without informed consent.
"We are legalizing marijuana before we can actually finish studies that take 10 to 20 years to complete to find out that answer. To some degree we have opted to do the experiment on ourselves as a society and see what results.” news.wttw.com/2019/11/04/dri…
The majority of Masters of Social Work programs do not require even one course about substance use & addiction, nor do they provide training about SBIRT. We partnered with University of Maryland MSW students to address this knowledge gap. buff.ly/30Vnrhm
