Each year, when Foxgloves come out, it reminds me of the silliness of referring to cannabinoid based products as "medical cannabis". Foxglove is parent plant to digoxin, and a class of cardiac medications. These are not, & should not, be referred to as "medical foxglove". 1/3

If you are truly trauma aware,informed,sensitive and responsive,you should understand the role of attachment,the nervous system & brain development. That symptoms are adaptations from growing up in an abnormal harsh psychological environment that you had to adapt to survive🧠🌱

This is a great short video explaining the alcohol industry and alcohol funded charity messaging to "drink responsibly" and how it is used to deflect from the industry causing the problems
IAS@InstAlcStud

'Drink responsibly' and 'responsible drinking' messages are used by the alcohol industry - including Drinkaware - to deflect attention away from the industry as a cause of harm, and to place blame on individual consumers. Watch our Big Alcohol film here: youtube.com/watch?v=Hfij4r…

Great piece in @IrishTimesNews about the devastating effects of problem alcohol use & how high levels of acceptability in Irish culture normalises excessive drinking. @IrelandSilent aims to break the peculiarly Irish taboo on discussing the impact of harmful drinking on children.

We are sharing the visual differences between heroin currently being sold on the market compared with N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene which is being sold as ‘new heroin’ or stronger heroin 👇🏽
HSE Drugs.ie@drugsdotie

We have on-going concern for N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene being sold on the Dublin and Cork markets to those who use heroin. There is a high risk for people who use heroin at this time. These substances may appear sporadically and unexpectedly. drugs.ie/synthetic_opio…
