Do Addictions Last a Lifetime?

Does my prior opioid addiction put me at risk or protect me?

Ketamine: what is it, how does it help and what are the risks?

My theory is that celebrities often don’t do well with addiction. People can get overawed and intimidated by celebrities and can find it difficult to say no. It truly takes a village of people saying no to recover. If members of that village are your personal assistants or fans, they might be tempted to accede to your requests for drugs, when you are st…

Notes From the Mowed Down

I'm sitting here with a broken leg, and with nothing but time on my hands. It was little more than six weeks ago that a seventy-six-year-old psychiatrist from my hometown decided to drive home from work after dark, seemingly forgot to turn her lights on, pretended she was in a NASCAR race, and mowed me down as I was crossing a street on foot. She said she never saw me. It was mutual. I had been trying to get ice cream at a popular, local ice cream store, and had been crossing the street with my extended family in tow. Any one of us could have been hit, ranging from my 16-year-old niece to my ninety-three-year-old mom.

Older patients and medicinal cannabis Or, why the boomers (and older) are tuning in and turning on

As a primary care physician who has been advising patients on medical cannabis for one-quarter of a century, it is notable how many silver-haired patients are coming in these days to express interest in this treatment. They are hearing about it from friends and family members, or from popular television shows. They wish to explore how to use medical mar…

Kratom: Dangerous Drug or Beneficial Botanical?

Depending on what you read, who you listen to, and which experts you defer to, you can get a remarkably different idea about the dangerousness or benefits of kratom. One school of thought holds that kratom is an accessible pathway out of undertreated chronic pain and opiate withdrawal, which can safely improve mood. Others believe that kratom is a dangerous, unregulated, addictive drug with no medical utility and severe side effects, including addiction, overdose, and death.

It was little more than six weeks ago that a seventy-six-year-old psychiatrist from my hometown decided to drive home from work after dark, seemingly forgot to turn her lights on, pretended she was in a NASCAR race, and mowed me down as I was crossing a street on foot. She said she never saw me. It was mutual. I had been trying to get ice cream at a popular, local ice cream store, and had been crossing the street with my extended family in tow. Any one of us could have been hit, ranging from my 16-year-old niece to my ninety-three-year-old mom.

Does my prior opioid addiction put me at risk or protect me?

Ketamine: what is it, how does it help and what are the risks?

My theory is that celebrities often don’t do well with addiction. People can get overawed and intimidated by celebrities and can find it difficult to say no. It truly takes a village of people saying no to recover. If members of that village are your personal assistants or fans, they might be tempted to accede to your requests for drugs, when you are st…

It was little more than six weeks ago that a seventy-six-year-old psychiatrist from my hometown decided to drive home from work after dark, seemingly forgot to turn her lights on, pretended she was in a NASCAR race, and mowed me down as I was crossing a street on foot. She said she never saw me. It was mutual. I had been trying to get ice cream at a popular, local ice cream store, and had been crossing the street with my extended family in tow. Any one of us could have been hit, ranging from my 16-year-old niece to my ninety-three-year-old mom.

Kratom: Dangerous Drug or Beneficial Botanical?

Depending on what you read, who you listen to, and which experts you defer to, you can get a remarkably different idea about the dangerousness or benefits of kratom. One school of thought holds that kratom is an accessible pathway out of undertreated chronic pain and opiate withdrawal, which can safely improve mood. Others believe that kratom is a dangerous, unregulated, addictive drug with no medical utility and severe side effects, including addiction, overdose, and death.

Notes From the Mowed Down

I'm sitting here with a broken leg, and with nothing but time on my hands. It was little more than six weeks ago that a seventy-six-year-old psychiatrist from my hometown decided to drive home from work after dark, seemingly forgot to turn her lights on, pretended she was in a NASCAR race, and mowed me down as I was crossing a street on foot. She said she never saw me. It was mutual. I had been trying to get ice cream at a popular, local ice cream store, and had been crossing the street with my extended family in tow. Any one of us could have been hit, ranging from my 16-year-old niece to my ninety-three-year-old mom.

You can watch the video of my Harvard Bookstore talk with my go…

Depending on what you read, who you listen to, and which experts you defer to, you can get a remarkably different idea about the dangerousness or benefits of kratom. One school of thought holds that kratom is an accessible pathway out of undertreated chronic pain and opiate withdrawal, which can safely improve mood. Others believe that kratom is a dangerous, unregulated, addictive drug with no medical utility and severe side effects, including addiction, overdose, and death.

Do Addictions Last a Lifetime?

Does my prior opioid addiction put me at risk or protect me?

Ketamine: what is it, how does it help and what are the risks?

My theory is that celebrities often don’t do well with addiction. People can get overawed and intimidated by celebrities and can find it difficult to say no. It truly takes a village of people saying no to recover. If members of that village are your personal assistants or fans, they might be tempted to accede to your requests for drugs, when you are st…
