The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

    “I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall"

    Sounds like SSRI’s are voluntary attendance. But actions are more important than words.

      ???

      You think concentration camps tend to be voluntary?

      Or do you think people can just start and stop SSRI’s at will?

      Either statement is fucking stupid, and could only emanate from someone with an IQ less than their shoe size.

        No. But RFK hasn’t threatened concentration camps. When referencing SSRIs he specificly said “if they want to”.

        It is medically recommended to scale up and down dosage slowly for a reason. People have experienced negative side effects when they suddenly stop taking them.

        I would describe offering illegal drug users an alternative to incarceration is the opposite of stupid. What I can’t believe is that Republicans will let this happen.

          Sure sure… They’re just happy fun camps!

          Titration. That’s what you’re thinking you know about…

          People don’t take SSRI’s illegally…

          Of course not, because that’s not the fucking point you human skin tag. See my first point above, where you assume they aren’t talking about concentration camps.

          BTW, did you know who the first victims of the holocaust were?
