How long does a single battery last on average? Do you bring spare batteries with you in case it dies? Has the battery ever gone flat and left you with the arm stuck in a random position or anything like that?

Not a question but I think your robot arm is totally badass and I'm currently sitting here a little jealous that I'm stuck with two lame meat arms with no LEDs or USB charging capabilities.

And so went the great Reddit Humblebrag of '15, calling it now.

So I'm sure in your time you have seen many individuals as a result of drug use, either by them or a member of their family, close friend, etc. and so I'd like to ask a few questions about that.

Does the facility you work have specific policies in relation to drug use by those teen in the facility? Do you require a certain clean period from drug use before they can arrive? Do you allow people currently suffering from withdrawals and if so do you take actions to prevent serious withdrawal symptoms, such as the provision of Suboxone to manage opioid dependencies?

There has been a lot of talk about the medicalisation/decriminalisation/legalisation of cannabis and the effects this will have on teen usage rates, do you have an opinion on this? What do you think is the appropriate action to be taken with regards to teens and cannabis use?

Do you believe that drug abuse should be treated as a medical issue or as a criminal one? In your opinion, do harm minimisation policies such as needle exchanges, safe injection sites and heroin provision programs lead to better or worse outcome for teenagers who are drugs users or at risk of becoming drug users?

If you could make any changes to drug policy effective tomorrow, what would you change?

Sorry for the shopping list of questions, thanks for doing this AMA!
