Stimulant overdoses are on the rise, but there is little education on how to recognize and respond to them.

I talked to @tnicholsmd.com and @stephen-murray.com about how bystanders can recognize a stimulant overdose, and how to keep patients safe while awaiting first responders.

My latest.

Stimulant overdoses are more complex than opioid overdoses.

Opioid overdoses have one key signal—breathing that has stopped or slowed down dramatically.

Stimulant overdose on the other hand, can lead to different outcomes: seizure, heart attack, stroke, dangerous overheating.

A kratom bar is functionally just an opium den.

Fuck it at this point just bring back opium dens we're already losing over 100,000 people a year to opiate overdoses on the street.

We need to start addressing stimulant overdoses and deaths the way we are pursuing ending opioid overdoses and deaths. The best way to do that on a policy level is to end the war on drugs and pursue a humanistic, harm-reduction
-based framework.

A lot of the goons point to the drop in drug overdoses as a Trump admin success.

(It's not them, it's mostly because Biden made Narcan available over the counter)

REPORT: Overdoses spiked when a city evicted homeless encampments.

A new study puts hard numbers behind what we already know: encampment evictions increase public health risks, make it harder for people to find stability, and make homelessness worse. buff.ly/q8yCAcz
Study: Overdoses spiked after Minneapolis swept homeless camps
The findings raise new questions about whether sweeps create or diminish a public health risk.

Chinese vaping products violate federal tobacco & trade laws, lack required safety oversight, & pose public health and security risks due to undisclosed toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and illicit drugs that can lead to fatal overdoses or severe organ failure. Add to the despot's mass murder tally.
