Anyone else seen this?
It’s a bit corny. I spent a few minutes following the funding to see who / what was behind the initiative. Seems it’s backed by George Soros’ Open Society Institute, a think-tank that’s all about breaking down communism and furthering the free market. Seems benign, at least in comparison to RB’s marketing tactics.
One thing that I noticed in the videos is their emphasis on how methadone and buprenorphine benefit society by reducing HIV and reducing crime. I’ve wondered in the past whether maintenance programs are championed moreso for the benefit of society as a whole than the addicts themselves.
