Next is an article in Harm Reduction Journal titled, Jail-Based Opioid Treatment Implementation, Outcomes and Costs, Lessons Learned from the Massachusetts Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network.
Zack CarusoHOST
Massachusetts mandated certain jails offer all MOUD as part of a pilot test.
Zack CarusoHOST
And in this article, researchers present some of the lessons learned.
Zack CarusoHOST
Concerns about MOUD diversion had been a cited concern about MOUD implementation in jails, but the authors note this appeared to be less likely when prescribed MOUD was easily accessible.

Opioid was the same thing.
Cedric SchnitzlerGUEST
Right.

Opioids are the leading cause of fatalities, and within that 10-year period, synthetic cannabinoids also feature.
Sarah HelmGUEST
Benzodiazepines, that's things like diazepam, followed by alcohol and stimulants.
Andrew DickensHOST
And we mix drugs.
Chris WinterGUEST
And so, for instance, tobacco's grown, manufactured, marketed all over the country.
Chris WinterGUEST
Opioid's the same way.
Chris WinterGUEST
Seat belts were, you know, an earlier case that preceded those cases.
Chris WinterGUEST
But those harms manifested to citizens within state boundaries and their state courts were allowed to protect them through state litigation.

Since 1982, the person who directs America's drug policies has been known as the drug czar.

BenHOST
Who was America's first and only opioid czar? I got about one minute.

Dave ManheimHOST

So basically, it's like on Facebook you can get a like or a dislike.
ChrisHOST
So a fan, um, wrote in, and he said that I, I should go on the Opiates subreddit and post about dopey, which he actually did for us beforehand, and people started listening.
ChrisHOST
So, um, anyways, I have been going on the Opiates subreddit, and basically I would say 80% of it is, like, people posting pictures, they call it, like, dope porn, of, like, shots they're about to do, and pills and whatnot.
