Foucaldian critique

I am probably fighting a losing battle, but I think the prominent place given to this critique is not appropriate. It's essentially saying that methadone is no different than heroin (or only different in terms of its legal status) which is not true. This misinformation could have a real effect on public health. 173.167.251.225 (talk) 16:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
