This is an odd platform for a presidential candidate, but in 2024, it doesn't surprise us. Mother Jones (yeah, we know) has this scoop on Robert F. Kennedy's plan to 'cure' people of 'addiction' to antidepressants and ADHD meds SCOOP: RFK Jr.
plans to create government "wellness farms" where people will spend 3 or 4 years harvesting organic vegetables to cure their addiction to antidepressants and ADHD meds: https://t.co/jyn8Y5QrZh More from Mother Jones: In a virtual event last week that was billed as a “ Latino Town Hall ,” presidential candidate and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
unveiled his plan to overhaul addiction treatment programs. Speaking during a live recording of the Latino Capitalist podcast, Kennedy described opioid, antidepressant, and ADHD “addicts” receiving treatment on tech-free “wellness farms,” where they would spend as much as three or four years growing organic produce. How to pay for these farms? Kennedy had an answer.
With money generated through a sales tax on cannabis products, Kennedy said, “I’m going to dedicate that revenue to creating wellness farms—drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country,” he said. “I’m going to make it so people can go, if you’re convicted of a drug offense, or if you have a drug problem, you can go to one of these places for free.” Yeah, we don't think that'll work.
Where does the Constitution provide that as a responsibility for the Federal Government? It do.
