This Week in the SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½Weekly

To borrow from a conceptualization about human behavior — a good way to predict future news is to look at past news. This week we present to you the most read news publications of 2022. 

Well-recognized individuals — celebrities () and physicians alike ()— are hugely important for helping shift our understanding of addiction. Treatments that are considered game changers (; ) or changing the course of illness () will equally gain our attention. 

There is always space in the news cycle for the next emerging drug threat whether it’s a derivation of cannabis (), an animal tranquilizer (), or one of the most commonly prescribed medications (). In addition, a deeper appreciation for the human experience and drug use has taken hold in recent years (), helping shepherd greater acceptance towards the psychedelic medicine movement ().

Wishing the best to all our colleagues for 2023.
