Abstract
Nora Volkow, M.D., director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), called out the profit-driven cannabis, tobacco, gambling, social media, and processed food industries for their harms to youth. She had some choice words for commercial interests involved in the addiction field in a Sept. 26 blog. Preying on the vulnerable — with drugs, social media, gambling, processed food, and other addictive products — is something she knows how to zone in on as an evil.
