Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled a bold proposal to address the nation’s ongoing opioid crisis through a new model of drug rehabilitation: “wellness farms.” Drawing on his long-standing commitment to public health and environmental activism, Kennedy envisions these farms as serene, holistic spaces where individuals struggling with addiction can find healing. The farms would focuse more on peer-to-peer support and behavioral strategies for addiction, rather than relying on medication-based treatments like methadone or buprenorphine, which are designed to reduce the intense cravings for opioids that often lead to relapses.
Kennedy, who has struggled with addiction to substances such as cocaine and heroin, is advocating to different solutions to treating people. While wellness farms is not a new concept, they are based on a framework known as a “therapeutic community” model to help those addicted to antidepressants, stimulants, and anti-anxiety medications.
“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,” he said.
Kennedy stated he would fund the wellness farms through a tax on cannabis sales, contingent on marijuana being removed from the Schedule One controlled substances list.
“I’m going to move it off Schedule One and I’m going to start collecting taxes on it. That’s going to bring in $8.5 billion dollars in revenue. I’m going to dedicate that revenue to creating wellness farms, drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country,” he continued. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
