Here's a summary on the collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and an England pharma company called Reckitt & Colman (later became Reckitt Benckiser, then Indivior) and their push of their buprenorphine products, Subutex and Suboxone, to market: 🧵

In your October 28, 2026 kratom article, you highlighted defense experts earning $850/hour and their financial connections.
Yet you quoted Andrew Kolodny without disclosing his extensive paid work for plaintiffs in opioid litigation.
You did the same thing in your April 23, 2023 article about Sackler funding and financial conflicts. In that article, Kolodny was questioning someone else's undisclosed financial relationships, while readers were told nothing about his own.
You're supposed to be an unbiased journalist. Why the double standard?

Congress Must Investigate VA Commitment Practices and Patient Outcomes: VA report OSC DI-25-001246 November 2 stevenmannon.substack.com/p/…
Gotta love how these non-profit prohibitionists don't want people to have kratom and then love to post pics of their trips to casinos, on cruises, and especially with addictive/deadly alcoholic beverages...
Right @Ch52471437Wendy, @maryhough66, and @KratomKills?
Dan, let's educate people why it's not a good idea to be telling people they can't have kratom, while you're saucing it up on cruises...

This is a perfect example of how illogical we have become with over-using lawsuits and policy changes to push agendas.
The land, no longer of the free, but of many policies and laws to save "others" and to shift blame to "others" instead of self.
You know what would solve car accident deaths? Ban cars. We can ban cell phones and prevent texting and driving, or just ban both. Oh you wouldn’t be able to get to work? That’s ok bc look how many deaths we prevented! Then companies that can transport people to work can also push for further bans. Lawyers both suing car industry and those defending them can also push for studies showing harm from car accidents. Doesn’t matter if the people died from heart attacks, gun shots, or seizures. They’re in a car. It’s car related. Can’t feed your family bc you can’t get to work? Who cares? At least you didn’t die in a car accident. Let’s celebrate this decrease in deaths. Do you wonder how many have been harmed from these policies? Oh, don’t ask that. We don’t count that. Let’s just focus on how we solved the car accident related fatalities. We are heroes!

Of course he pushes this. It's because Dr. Ted Parran has his own partial agonist opioid he'll want you on instead...

🤣🤣 well well well… nice to see others calling out the bullshit
End Kratom Addiction founder Dean Francis went on the record claiming that mass tort paid gun/expert Dr Andrew Kolodny receives ‘$0 per hour’ and does all of his anti-kratom work ‘pro bono.’ When pressed on that claim, Francis didn’t stand by his words—he nuked the entire thread from existence. People don’t panic-delete a public defense because of a polite debate. They delete it when they are hiding something—or when someone orders them to take it down.
Number 1
Why delete the thread, Dean?
If your defense of Andrew Kolodny was the truth, why scrub the public record the moment people started asking for receipts?
Number 2
Were you lying about Kolodny working for “$0 per hour”?
Did you realize you had just put a financial claim in writing that you couldn’t back up—about a career expert witness who has billed $725 an hour and testified to a fee range of up to $500,000 in a single opioid case?
Number 3
Or did Andrew Kolodny tell you to scrub the evidence?
Kolodny has a documented history of not disclosing his conflicts of interest—in 2019 he asked JAMA to correct disclosures that left out his paid expert-witness work—and published accounts of his kratom editorial’s disclosure don’t mention his ties to FED UP! or the Steve Rummler HOPE Network. Did he make the call to kill the thread before the “$0 per hour” claim created a paper trail?
How a five-day defense of Andrew Kolodny collapsed in forty-five minutes.

Natural kratom and dangerous, enhanced opioid products are NOT the same.
HHS is following the science and drawing a clear line between the two.
HHS' new recommendation gives @DEAHQ precise, science-based thresholds to target concentrated 7-OH and MGPI products without sweeping natural botanical kratom into Schedule I.

Opioid use disorder was created as Suboxone marketing tool.
In 2013, psychiatrists helped develop the diagnostic criteria for opioid use disorder. Two of the scumbags, Dr. Marc Auriacombe and Dr. Walter Ling, disclosed financial relationships with Reckitt Benckiser, the original manufacturer of Suboxone. Both also had ties to other addiction pharmaceutical companies.
Another psychiatrist involved in developing the OUD diagnosis was Dr. Wilson Compton, who later served in an advisory capacity during the review process for the disastrous 2016 CDC opioid prescribing guideline.
The 2016 CDC guideline recommended the dental decaying opioid buprenorphine for patients diagnosed with the newly created (fake diagnosis) OUD.
Then, in 2022, the CDC went even further, suggesting that chronic pain patients could be transitioned to buprenorphine even without an OUD diagnosis.
By the way, opioid settlement funds were used to pay for this ridiculous initiative.
