also, highly recommend Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari for multiple examples around the globe of how treating drugs and users very differently than we do here in US leads to success...War on Drugs has been an epic failure...we need a complete rethink. I support full legalization and non-criminalization of all drugs, but would be thrilled to see just baby steps in that direction....

This is great, love the idea of healing/recovery/restart farms in rural areas...I want to be part of it! How can I connect with the right folks to stay in the loop? I have a 14 acre farm in NC and would love to run a program for recovering addicts here (unfortunately, like many, it's an issue that hits very close to my family.) Win or lose, RFK JR, count me in!

Thank you for describing some of my own experiences exactly! It is so affirming.
