Are you a US-based MSW or MSW student who wants to end the drug war?

One small step is to federally decriminalize marijuana by descheduling it and removing it from the CSA.

When I was a kid, I was put in a residential treatment center like some politicians are asking for. There, we had to “learn” and embody certain qualities like “integrity” or “responsibility.” We couldn’t pass levels without getting the approval of both staff and our peers. 1/x

22% of people in state prisons today were homeless/in transitional housing when they were arrested. The data is clear: One of this country’s leading responses to homelessness is incarceration.

Let’s talk about treatment for drugs/mental health. It’s framed as a personal failure if someone struggling doesn’t get treatment or “succeed.”BUT when I went through a crisis & tried to urgently get treatment, I faced barrier after barrier—only having access to money saved me.🧵

Research shows that drug busts can increase overdose risk, and the potency of the drug someone may get. It’s just another example of how prohibition doesn’t save lives, but kills. We need real solutions, not policies based on emotion and failed approaches. thedailybeast.com/fentanyl-polic…
