Comments Policy

The purpose of this blog is to discuss the science of addiction and drug abuse and the work we are doing at NIDA. I welcome your comments and ideas.

Comments are reviewed before posting. Debate and disagreement are welcome, but mutual respect and politeness must be maintained. Comments that are off-topic, uncivil, promoting a product, or promoting drug use will not be posted. Because comments are moderated, there may be a delay before comments appear on the site.

Comments will not be posted if they:

• Contain vulgar language, personal insults, or offensive comments about others (based on ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, intelligence, or any other personal attacks).
• Promote any services or products, are clearly off topic, or make unsupported assertions or accusations. Comments that include a link or URL to a personal or commercial Web site will not be posted.
• Voice support for drug use or any illegal activity.
• Include personal identifying information like phone numbers, email addresses, etc.
