If he comes for my antidepressants he can haul me off but he can't make me cooperate.
Is he not aware that the fascist pumpkin he will be working for pops those like breath mints?? Please do send that rapist con man to a labor camp.
The death cultists: It only counts if you have a prescription.

Yeah, I already started weaning myself off my depression meds. Went cold turkey once, and that was a nightmare. They're planning to kill the VA, so fuck our service. I'm never getting cut off again. I'll switch to natural alternatives, thank you.
Probably still easy to get from Mexico. Your mental health is important and shits about to get a whole lot more depressing
Dexedrine for the win!
And a tax on cannabis sales would fund these farms, he proposed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but... is he really suggesting a federal tax on a federally illegal substance?
Well, yeah? Tax stamps have pretty much always been required, and yes, on illegal weed.

You hope he is just being clever and indirectly talking about legalizing cannabis, but you know that in reality he is just so incompetent that he has no idea what he is talking about.

Some sort of camp to help ADHD folks work on their concentration?
I imagine a terrible, awful future Forest Gump remake.
“They had these camps that helped folks with their concentration or something like that. They said I was a shine-ning example, so I got to meet the president of the United States, again.”
“They tell me this guy is the best example. Got treated, got rich in shrimp. What a guy! Our camps are great, the best camps in all the world.”
Camera pans to Trump shaking hands with Kim Jong Un.
“In Korea, everybody got these pic-tures of their leader on the wall. We got those in Alabama too.”
Laughed too hard at this. It’s a Focus Group!!!

Phew, glad my psychiatrist prescribed me Ritalin.
Definitely safe
"I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities," he said during the broadcast.
Isn’t it neat how he mixes in prescribed medical treatments? Neato.
Uh yeah, no.
I once thought it might be an idea to try and back off from 100mg sertraline to 50mg sertraline and on day two I wanted to strangle people. You can take my SSRIs from my cold dead hands.
"Have you tried going outside and snapping out of it?"
-RFK Jr., probably
So school shootings are a mental health problem, so he wants to do the opposite of help. Goddamn, make these people make sense.
“Have you tried going outside and snapping out of it?”
He should let the brain worm get some sunlight.
Yeah, I'm on 300mg sertraline daily, and I sometimes have trouble getting my prescription filled (understandable, it's a way bigger dose than usual)
But if I'm not on it, the suicidal thoughts usually start on day 3
So if they were to take my SSRIs, I would quickly be killed by my own cold, dead hands

He's a big believer in the whole "keeping people on drugs isn't the fix" kind of thinking. It's short-sighted and ignorant of the fact that a lot of people on them have a net benefit to function in society.
What he is proposing is something far more stupid akin to "Well look at me. I've never needed these drugs, and I'm totally fine. WTF, people?"
If you want a country that is doing the proper work to stop jumping to long-term prescriptions as problem solvers, I'm all for that. DO NOT confuse that with these dumb shit he's suggesting though.

Also, "get reparented" is some very sinister cult programming (ie brain washing) language..

So his solution to ADHD is a concentration camp?
Sure, that way they can learn to concentrate.
That's what trump said to the ICC when they issued a public statement in 2025 about criminalizing mental illness
Nothing to see here, just politics as usual, the liberals are just trying to scare everyone. /s
A lot of Americans have to pass a drug test to get a new job. Perhaps RFK would like if we applied this reasoning to Trump's whole cabinet?
There was reports on how the white house apothecary was pushing a lot of prescription drugs during his last presidency, so I'll expect RFK to jail all of those.
They’re skipping the FBI checks. Safe to say there will be no drug tests.
