Lack of trust in science is a social ill. But those scientists who've allowed themselves to be co-opted by industry interests into misusing science for commercial gain, must also shoulder significant responsibility for such erosion of trust. So many wrongly overlook this.
#petition to MAKE #TAPERING PSYCH MEDS SAFER AND MORE HUMANE is endorsed by Mark Horowitz, Adele Framer, Anne Guy, IIPDW, Anders Sørensen, Jim van Os change.org/p/make-tapering-p……

Low potency liquid versions of all psych meds enabling people to measure out really low dosages: a big step towards making tapering easier. Big Pharma: you can do it... it’s a new market!
