RFK Jr. Proposes Wellness Farms Funded by Marijuana Tax Revenues to Combat Opioid Crisis
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated by President Donald Trump as Secretary of Health and Human Services, has proposed a novel approach to combat the opioid crisis through the establishment of 'wellness farms.' These facilities would serve as holistic spaces where individuals struggling with addiction can heal, focusing on peer-to-peer support and behavioral strategies rather than medication-based treatments like methadone or buprenorphine. Kennedy envisions these farms as serene environments where individuals can learn job skills and grow organic food. The funding for these wellness farms would come from tax revenues generated by legal marijuana sales, contingent on marijuana being removed from the Schedule One controlled substances list. Kennedy's proposal is part of a broader initiative to address drug addiction, which he identifies as the second leading cause of death among young people.
