Portugal serves the global medical cannabis while its patients are left with no access, with only 1 medicine available on the mkt.
Of 11 tons produced last year, only 17kg went to Portuguese patients.
99.9% was exported. Why?

Another unnecessary reference to zombie drugs in the article byline for #xylazine@cahalmilmo you quote "zombie drug" - can you share where you got this reference from?
We need to nip this narrative in the bud - pls reach out if you need advice on lang.

We have guidelines to avoid stigmatising language that is inaccurate, pejorative, and can be hurtful.
This applies to all the zombie headlines - for #xylazine, #nitazenes or #spice, whatever it is!

Did @pharmacaroline or John Strang @KingsAddictions describe xylazine as a zombie drug?
We need to push back against this description - from all experts and those quoted in the piece.
This stigma won't ever change if we don't do anything about it
