@CoDoc442 We now need coroner’s reports on suicides associated with cannabis, including those occurring during psychotic episodes. Some deaths occur years after a first episode of cannabis-induced psychosis, and the link is frequently not captured in reports.

Today we celebrate Eli Cooper’s birthday and the lasting impact of his bright, caring spirit. Eli was known for his quick wit, endless curiosity, and the warmth he brought to those around him. We carry his light forward, working every day to make this vision a reality.

The two-year health labelling delay given in this report based on an anonymous leak has now been unofficially confirmed, disappointing health advocates.
"The Irish government is [today] to delay the introduction of health warnings on alcoholic drinks until 2028..." The labels were scheduled to appear in May next year. https://t.co/AZnMQxj0mi

I saw 1st “public education” sign on cannabis since legalization. Sign on cannabis & driving at subway station where people aren’t driving. Promotion by retailer Ontario Cannabis Society encourages us to visit site 🤔@PHAC_GC @TOPublicHealth @PublicHealthON

I support buying Ontario products and shutting the market to US liquor. But promoting cannabis and boosting liquor sales by reducing prices - as an ER doc - is stupid policy. We have a raging drinking problem Ontario. Let me tell you frankly. @robferguson1

"The Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority has announced that it is in the process of drafting a new law aimed at partially banning the advertisement of alcoholic beverages on social media platforms." It banned ads on TV and radio five years ago. https://t.co/pNUAcyxjgN

Ten years ago, I entered Addictions Treatment for the first time. I struggled with stigma and kept my struggles a secret. But later I learned that if you are open and honest about your addiction; That even your worst enemies will cheer for you. ❤️ Ask for help. Don't give up.

Really heartened to see this huge support for Ireland’s alcohol health information labels. Gov must stand firm against industry lobbying and disinformation attempts to derail what is now the law. @MichealMartinTD @roinnslainte
More than 75 health, social and community organisations, academics and advocates have come together to voice strong opposition to the mooted ‘re-examination’ of Ireland’s world leading health information labels for alcohol products. READ MORE 👇
