    Former 15 year Heroin junkie throwing shade on people with real afflictions. Brain rotted moron.

      Addiction isn’t a “real affliction”?

          What? No, I didn’t know what you meant, only what you posted. Which heavily implied that addiction isn’t a real affliction.

          Am I supposed to be able to read your fucking mind?

            No I didn’t. I said people with ADHD had a real affliction. It was RFK who was trying to trivialize it

      Just to be clear that’s a pretty low blow. There’s so much fucked about the guy without going against addiction, which is a real and devastating illness.

        It’s about the hypocrisy. He’s had real addiction issues and considers blind-tested medicine to be the same. I don’t think anyone that has had a heroin addiction should ever be the top government healthcare voice, no matter their personal recovery. You need to earn that position and his past should completely disqualify him.
