Elon Musk said a while back that he's been using ketamine to manage his depression, which is an experimental treatment, albeit with some pretty solid research backing it up at this point.
What bothers me is that people are now memeing that he's "high on ketamine" all the time and that's why he says and does fucked up shit.
Are we really stigmatizing mental health treatment
Are we really stigmatizing recreational drug use, for that matter
If he was on ketamine in public I'm pretty sure there would be no need for speculation, like, we would know
Elon Musk says and does fucked up shit because he's a shitty bigoted billionaire who longs for the days of apartheid, it's not actually that complicated. Drugs aren't making the difference here.
(I don't want ketamine treatment to be stigmatized because it does seem really promising for treatment-resistant depression and PTSD so even if Musk is spending time in the k-hole for fun I don't care.)
oh having thoughts today about the way that some psych survivors and tbh the disabled community in general distance themselves from the label of “drug seeking patient.” cause it’s like—I think it’s totally okay to be drug seeking, actually, and I wish it was easier to just go up to doctors and ask for the drugs you need and then just get them. I wish that there was easy access to a safe supply of a whole lot of drugs and there’s nothing morally wrong with trying to seek that through the medical system.
and i very much do understand how having that label plastered on your medical record can be incredibly harmful in terms of preventing access to care, I know very deeply how destructive medical records can be on our lives, especially when we’re already marginalized. I know that sometimes we need to fight to have our medical records represent a certain narrative so that we are able to keep accessing the care we need. And I support doing whatever you need to do in the medical system to get the care you need, including lying to doctors, trying to get stuff taken off your medical record, saying things about your drug use to your doctor that isn’t the way you talk about it the rest of the time, cause this shit is impossible to navigate. I’m never going to attack someone for being upset that this shit gets put into their record—I know how destructive and violating it can feel to have the things that professionals say about you dictate all your access to lifesaving care after that.
I guess I’m just saying that regardless of whatever pragmatic steps we need to take when it comes to navigating our own medical records and care, I don’t want us to lose sight of the bigger picture of solidarity with people who use drugs and that we focus our anger on the root of the problem, which is that no one should be denied access to treatment and medication, including controlled substances and Adderall and opiates, regardless of what labels are applied to us, regardless if we’re using drugs for “recreational” or “medical” use (like the two can even be neatly separated in the first place lmfao). And that we keep an eye out for propaganda that encourages us to throw people who use drugs under the bus, that blames us for (artificially created) medication shortages or bullshit DEA policies that create all these restrictions in the first place. the disabled community cannot discard the many people who use drugs, criminalized or otherwise, from our community.
