@JohnsHopkinsSPH @ClintonFdn @The_CRL @ChelseaClinton @EllenJMacKenzie @tomcoderre @JohnsHopkins Honored to have a conversation with @tomcoderre and Rev. Edwin Sanders today- a fierce harm reductionist full of wisdom.

Today, @ClintonFdn, @JohnsHopkinsSPH, and @The_CRL will convene national leaders from science and faith to discuss ways to reduce stigma about addiction, educate about prevention, treatment, and recovery and advance policies/programs that save lives. 🔗 publichealth.jhu.edu/events/bridgin…

LOVED talking to Dr. Carmen Logie - who is a "burst of sunshine" at any time, but welcome in these times. Thank you for talking with me about sex work and drug use stigma.

In a 5-year experience with an unsanctioned safe site where people could inject drugs, there were 10,514 injections and 33 opioid overdoses. All the overdoses were reversed with naloxone, and none resulted in death. Combined stimulant and opioid use increased over time.
