Fentanyl changed the game, but esp for school-age kids whose deaths are swamped by totals(500K total drug deaths in 5 yrs vs. 5K school-agers). But while all ages deaths have steadily grown, doubling over 7yrs...these kids' deaths doubled in 1yr. Mitigations below...(upstream!)

Signs of hope in bending the drug mortality curve overall & w our youngers; but not so much for school-agers yet. They're less likely to be aware of the risks of fentanyl in fake pills, how to recognize & respond to overdose, to have & know how to use naloxone. 4 Mitigations...

@madras_bertha 🎯. Safety via regulation + tax revenue used to rationalize legalization…then any attempts to regulate for safety are killed due to concerns over profits & tax revenue. Public health concerns are no match for industry influence. This OR bill killed by commerce committee.

@PoppotNewYork Industry influence vs public health interests is a stacked deck against better choices for the common good. In the case of this bill, leadership sent it to the House Commerce Committee w an industry ally Chair. Bill did not advance. 👎

U.S. annual drug deaths in total down to <70K through 8.25(provisional), almost 2018 levels💥. Western states hit esp hard; AK/WA/OR outrageous growth. Interesting to note recent trends of next door neighbors WA & OR (and how CA never got there). Who's doing what that's helping?

The bill (OR SB 1548), stripped of other youth protective measures in order to have a chance, passed in the Oregon Senate 22-5 bi-partisan. But this clear mitigation to reduce harm couldn't beat overwhelming industry influence in the House. Tobacco/alcohol playbook. 👎

@Twolfrecovery What did the op-ed say? How did he claim Trump is making it worse? What did he claim is working in CA? I've no opinion on Newsom, but there is very little actual data yet on Trump's results while CA has done fairly well amidst a national & regional disaster. Still awful tho.

Good job Oklahoma and @fentanylok. Nearly half of teens remain unaware of fentanyl in counterfeit pills. Educating them in schools will correct their perception of harm at scale. songforcharlie.org/page/current-d…

KOSU@KOSURadio

Education about fentanyl abuse will soon be required for middle and high school students in all Oklahoma. House Bill 1484 added new areas of focus, including instruction about the opioid fentanyl, to existing drug education requirements in schools. kosu.org/oklahoma-law-f…

@Twolfrecovery The words in that consensus statement make a lot of sense to me. Unfortunately U.S. policy has a long way to go to track to that aspiration; we lack intent and leadership to monitor and adjust policy based on successes & failures. x.com/jeppdx/status/…
JEPPDX@jeppdx

A topic mostly missing from U.S. drug policy discussion is how we prevent SUD in the first place in order to prevent the worst harms. What learnings should we take and apply from states on one end vs. the other? And a myriad of other questions. (1/2)

Final consensus from the UN Commision on Narcotic Drugs? OD deaths are down because of prevention, treatment access, recovery support and supply reduction. What's missing? Harm reduction. Word is, they're gonna drop that term in favor of "risk reduction." I wonder why? 🤔

Further, what can the fentanyl-driven increase/decrease periods tell us about how fentanyl changed the game, which states were prepared and how vs. unprepared, who adapted, who didn't, etc.? We lack objective research and meaningful policy discussion on these questions. (2/2)

@Twolfrecovery Near the top of list is our unwillingness to make “for the common good”choices when it comes to our commercialized addiction industries. Were policy convo about war on addiction instead of war on drugs vs. war on war on drugs, we’d be properly focusing on prvntn/trtmnt/recovery.

The United States has 40 million people struggling with addiction amongst 342 million people. The rest of the world? 24 million out of 7.9 billion people. Why?

Per CDC: U.S. Cities with highest drug death growth over 5 years 2019-2024: Portland, Fort Worth, Seattle, Vegas, Fresno, KC, Denver, Austin, Buffalo. U.S. States with highest rank increase in per-capita drug deaths during this period: OR, WA, AK, NV, VT, OK, AL, CO, NM, CA.

This is the reverse chart, showing 2019 crude rates in rank order with change to 2024. In addition to the shift of half of the worst 10 from eastern to western states, the rise in drug death rates of practically all of the bottom 30 is evident. Fentanyl wrought awful outcomes.

5 years and fentanyl make a big difference in per capita drug deaths per state. While the correction that started in '23 caused the U.S. total rate to be close to unchanged, the top 10 looks quite different: OR, WA, AK, NV added; MD, OH, PA, MA, NJ dropped out. (2024 now final)

Great news, youth deaths involving fentanyl way down, faster than rest of U.S. Young adults <25 have turned back the clock 10+ years while teens are almost back to pre-pandemic. Upstream mitigations work.

From legal weed market: tiny evidence-based measure backed by Public Health & Poison Control to individually wrap edibles at a max THC level to reduce marked rise in toddler poisonings—just killed by the industry in committee they own. @KevinSabet @CharlesFLehman you r correct.
