@NatureLovJake Thanks!
The wellness gurus flourish by isolating their audiences. We break down that silo and ruin their grift.
One tweet at a time.

@ACSHorg Real facts will never win popularity contests with wellness gurus. I respect the commitment to honest science.

Hello, it’s Ana; the gal behind and in front of the camera lens at @ACSHorg . 👋 Let me tell you, hitting record when you’re the spokesperson to skewer misinformation is another level of vulnerability. I’ve gone after health fads, gimmicky diets, and more questionable TikTok trends than I can count, which, to be fair, probably hasn’t earned me brownie points with Gen Z’s self-proclaimed wellness gurus. Still, it’s worth it. Because with every video I put out, I see how much clear, evidence-based science actually matters. If you’ve watched our videos, shared our content, or followed our work, you already know what we do best: cut through the noise to deliver science you can trust: plainly and honestly. That’s where our $26 for 2026 campaign comes in. 🧵

@ACSHorg all internet censorship sucks and should be opposed as much as possible. just give up and accept the postmodernist world. otherwise anything that goes down gets used to target drug users real fast

Free speech v truthful speech? This will be good.

Podcast: Fight Drug Abuse With Safe Injection Sites? Dr. Lynn Webster
acsh.org/news/2026/05/1…
English
How do we treat drug addiction? Can we prevent it in the first place?
@LynnRWebsterMD explains why those challenges are bigger than many people think.
Full episode of our Science Dispatch podcast below. ⬇️
@camjenglish@camjenglish
Drug addiction and physical dependence are NOT synonyms. This is a common lie the media tells about prescription opioids. Then really sick people—like your grandmother with terminal cancer—are denied pain medicine. Evil. Dr. Lynn Webster explains.⬇️
English
@humanedrug @LynnRWebsterMD Maybe.
Legalization advocates need to do a better job of grappling with and explaining the downsides of that policy.
English
@ACSHorg @LynnRWebsterMD HR reduces the harm produced by US drug policy—one arms is wrestling the other. Legalization is the ONLY realistic solution. Get rid of the drug policy that massacres kids & calls it prevention/deterrence.
Half measures produce double the suffering. This is happening by design.
English
People say harm reduction is a fool's errand. Making drug use safer just enables bad behavior—period.
Addiction medicine specialist @LynnRWebsterMD isn't so sure.
We should fairly study tools like safe injection sites before dismissing them, he says.
Full episode below. ⬇️

Another wicked good discussion from @ACSHorg! The practical humane public policy argument, what is medical, from Dr Webster deserves more attention. youtu.be/-PMeBANkl48?si…

@puffpieceMN @LynnRWebsterMD Glad you enjoyed it. Consider subscribing and sharing the podcast with your friends, if we may be so bold.
English
@ACSHorg @LynnRWebsterMD Was a good listen. The moderators asked the same gut-wrenching questions we get from the public. Thank you to Dr. Webster for thoughtfully pushing back. These are preventable deaths. The drug policies are the crime.

harm reduction,
for addiction medicine a skinsuit.
coercive branches forked tounges
hostage taking healthcare in hell grounded firmly in failure a pipeline of pain loops eternal a chain to bondage the broken
the cursed fruit of this unholy union ripens with a sickly sweet scent

@TSBurkhardt @LynnRWebsterMD Sounds like your goals are different than Dr. Webster's. He sees SCS as a bridge to treatment. You see them as a dead end that diverts attention away from legalization.
Fair summary?
English
safe injection sites are such an interesting discussion. obviously they reduce overdose death potential when used.
however, its so frustrating as an incrementalism response pattern to failed policy.
they discriminate against rural and suburban drug users, plus will never stop using alone for most people, as you basically have to set up a life around multiple daily trips to the shooting gallery. most employment is off the table, traveling is too... just so many second and third order effects here
another bandaid for the bullet wound.
we need to run a legalization city for science to elevate the vibes based dialogue with data.

@camjenglish @TheLancet @DrLizaMD It's still funny to read these words and realize the author was dead serious.
English
☭ People who want to ban red meat are communists.
That's not an insult.
Academics and medical journals (hi, @TheLancet) cite Karl Marx to justify dictating your dietary choices.
@DrLizaMD and I explain here. Full episode below.

'Fossil fuels, pesticides and food processing have dramatically improved living standards around the globe. This may be a controversial claim, but it’s difficult to dispute,' writes @camjenglish. 'Yet this is not the message that comes through when certain academic voices talk about these innovations or the industries that produced them. Consider the curious New England Journal of Medicine (@NEJM) perspective from the @UCSF Center to End Corporate Harm. The article erroneously brands fossil fuels, processed foods, synthetic chemicals and prescription opioids—a diverse array of useful tools when reasonably used—as “corporate vectors” of disease, no different than cigarettes. The framing is overly simplistic and ideological, collapsing distinct tools and risks into a cartoonish conspiracy of corporate villainy.'
