essays against the hateful Drug War
by Brian B. Quass, writer for Sociodelic and author of The Drug War Comic Book
CALL FOR ACTION: The DEA stomped onto the Monticello estate of Thomas Jefferson in 1987 and confiscated Thomas Jefferson's poppy plants in violation of the Natural Law upon which Jefferson had founded America. Yet they refuse to acknolwedge the raid, let alone to complain about it.
Tell the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to stop betraying Thomas Jefferson. Write to them today at:
dblumenstock@monticello.org
Then write to the Sites of Conscience organization and tell them that Monticello should cease to be designated as a "Site of Conscience" until it acknowledges the DEA raid on Monticello, a raid which violated everything that Jefferson stood for.

The Infuriating Philosophical Idiocy of Kevin Sabet
Kevin's knee-jerk prohibitionist policies have killed hundreds of thousands of Mexicans over the last decade and resulted in the election of insurrectionists by throwing millions of black voters in jail.
Tapering for Jesus
The last thing that the Drug Warrior wants is for a user (even of a legal medicine) to get off of a psychoactive medicine easily. Then there is no way to open clinics for them and make a business model out of helping them, or a career in criminology out
Helping the Elderly with Drugs
We must consider psychoactive medicines as our friends, not our enemies. When that day comes, I hope that the above suggestions will provide at least a hint of a protocol that can be used to leverage the power of psychoactive medicine for the elderly.
Science Set Free... NOT!
science is LITERALLY censored today by substance prohibition, which outlaws and otherwise discourages research about precisely those substances whose use conduces to a holistic view of the world around us.
Why SSRIs are Crap
Today's attitude about drugs is bizarre: it tells us that the worst possible fate is to become dependent on a 'drug,' and yet at the same time, we are told that we have a medical duty to take antidepressants every day of our life.
Addicted to Ignorance
How the drug war prevents the effective treatment of addiction and withdrawal, forcing patients onto addictive Big Pharma meds while ignoring the godsend mind-changing medicines of Big Pharma, which are crying out to be used in psychiatric settings.
The Criminalization of Nitrous Oxide is No Laughing Matter
Children are not the only stakeholders in the prohibition game: prohibition has destroyed the rule of law in Central America, militarized police forces around the world, created "no-go" zones in inner cities, and censored scientists.
Listening to Laughing Gas
Drug Warriors demonize precisely those substances whose use might conduce to a non-materialistic way of seeing the world.
Drug War Jeopardy!
Where we give you the answer about the hateful drug war, and you give us the question!
Doctor Feel Bad
Thanks to drug war ideology, Brain-dead patients have to be heartlessly 'unplugged' rather than lulled to their final sleep by morphine
Hurray for Self-Medicating
We need a Drug Education Agency, not a Drug Enforcement Agency. We need to teach the world how to use drugs safely. We need to stop infantilizing Americans by convincing them through one-sided propaganda and horror stories that they will never be smart
Using Opium to Fight Depression
hey, here's an idea: let psychiatrists use any plant medicine that works! Replacing psychiatry with pharmacologically savvy empaths.
In Praise of Opium
Opium is not a moral agent, even though Drug War authors like John Halpern insist on blaming the poppy for the problems that human beings have in dealing with it.
My conversation with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation
In 1987, the DEA raided Monticello to confiscate a plant. I contacted the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to see what they had to say for themselves on this subject. I will be posting the results of our correspondence below.
Drugs CAN Be the Answer
Drugs can be the answer. If you do not think so, you have been bamboozled by the federal government's decades-long attempt to scare you about godsend medicines.
What Terence McKenna Got Wrong About Drugs
For all his insights, Terence was a drug war snob. He rated drugs based on his impression of the kind of folks who used them, which is the drug warrior way of viewing the world.
What Carl Hart Missed
Drug Use for Grown-Ups is one of the most honest books ever about so-called drugs. The author's only shortcoming is his apparent failure to see the link between the drug war and the psychoactive pill mill.
Another Cry in the Wilderness
The Drug War is the biggest mistake in American history, except for slavery, and yet the Drug War is slavery by another means, disfranchising blacks and handing elections to fascists.

The Drug War as Religion
Those who support the Drug War do so based on a kind of materialist version of Christian Science.

The Salem Witch Hunt never ended: Christian Science drug warriors continue to persecute those who reach higher states of consciousness using plants
Open Letter to Dr. Carl L. Hart
Dear Dr. Hart:
I wanted to thank you for your bravery in writing "Drugs for Grown-ups." It is so rare for someone in academia to point out that the emperor is wearing no clothes when it comes to American drug policy.
Ten Reasons why the Drug War is Nonsense
The DEA causes addiction, disempowerment and bigotry and the drug war is nonsense -- nonsense with a body count of inner-city grade-schoolers and overseas victims of Civil Wars fomented by America's anti-scientific laws that criminalize mere plants.
What We Mean When We Say 'Drugs'
There was no drug problem in the 1800s because then folks still blamed PEOPLE for bad behavior, not substances. Today's "drug" user is the new witch. We are superstitiously frightened of their ability to achieve transcendence with psychoactive plants
How The Drug War Killed Andy Gibb
Instead of educating about drugs, the drug warrior demonizes substances as pure evil, thereby keeping users in the dark about how to use them safely
The real reason for depression in America
The Drug War is a violation of natural law which took away our access to Mother Nature's depression cures and forced us to rely on Big Pharma meds, many of which are more addictive than heroin.
Michael Pollan on Drugs
It's not clear why Michael thinks that continued criminalization is going to help things when the MO of the Drug War is to keep users in ignorance of the psychoactive drugs that they use.
The Therapeutic Value of Anticipation
Modern psychology ignores the benefits of plant-use anticipation because they are in thrall to the drug war dogma which says that plant medicines (like opium, cocaine and psychedelics) are "all bad" once a society has outlawed them.
In praise of doctor hopping
Doctor hopping is a duty, if we’re to be true to ourselves and our own needs and desires rather than those of the doctor and the DEA.
Assisted Suicide and the War on Drugs
We should have the right to 'assisted suicide' but only in a world in which we have leveraged the mind-improving power of psychoactive medicine to the hilt.
Why Kevin Sabet is Wrong
It's no surprise that Jimmy Carter gives Kevin Sabet rave reviews, for his politics are rooted in the past
PROTEST DRUG TESTING NOW!
Take a stand against drug testing, which is the extrajudicial enforcement of Christian Science Sharia and a violation of natural law, which gives us free access to plants and fungi
Corner on Coca!

America creates drug villains out of whole cloth with its anti-scientific war on godsend plant medicine.
Alternative Medicine as a Drug War Creation

Majoring in Drug War Philosophy
It tells us what we should already know, that we need to be educated and honest about all substances and learn how to profit from them as safely as possible, rather than demonizing substances a priori at the self-interested whim of demagogues.
Don't Worry, Be Satisfied
The Drug War is a protection racket for psychiatrists that outlaws all psychoactive plants which, if used advisedly, could beat depression. What's left are addictive emotion-flattening SSRIs which, at best, help patients accept the status quo.
Open Letter to Lisa Ling
Lisa Ling created a documentary about Chicago gun violence in which she never once mentioned the drug war, the policy that caused the violence just as surely as liquor prohibition created the Mafia.

Using Ecstasy in Church

The Michael Pollan Fallacy
The Michael Pollan Fallacy: The advocacy of substance prohibition based on a failure to recognize all the stakeholders in the drug approval process.
Defund the DEA
Richard Nixon's DEA helped popularize the belief that drug suspects could be treated like dirt, so it's no surprise that the DEA is anti-minority -- the only surprise is that minorities would want to work there.
Michael Pollan and the Drug War
How can a great botanist like Michael Pollan agree with the Drug War proposition that folks should be arrested for accessing the bounty of Mother Nature?
Drug Use as Self-Medication
It is perfectly natural that folks would seek medical help outside the system. In fact, except for the fear of arrest, it is perfectly logical to make such a choice.
This is your brain on Neuralink
Scientistic America will gladly give lobotomies and ECT -- but will have nothing to do with non-addictive psychedelics that grow new neurons in the brain.
Alexander Shulgin: American Hero
American pharmacologist Alexander Shulgin was the epitome of what a psychoactive drug researcher should be -- and what they WOULD be were America not under the spell of Drug War propaganda
Richard Feynman and the Drug War
Rimbaud was right. Science is too slow for us (for we the depressed). And this slowness has consequences, for it gives a green-light for scheming politicians to outlaw godsend psychoactive substances.
Psychoactive Drugs and the Fountain of Youth
Ponce Leon was right: there is a fountain of youth.
It was growing all around him, in the form of psychoactive plants and fungi.
But the Drug War has padlocked the fountain and threatened trespassers with imprisonment and death.
Sherlock Holmes versus Gabriel Maté
I am picking on Gabriel Maté here, but he is in good company. Almost every popular non-fiction author of our times reckons without the Drug War.

The search for a reductive cure for depression created the unacknowledged pharmacological dystopia in which we live today, thanks to which 1 in 4 American women are dependent on Big Pharma 'meds' for life.

Why I Am Pro Drugs

The Venezuelan government has no problem running roughshod over their citizens' naturally given right to access the medicines of Mother Nature. It just wants to be the one to break heads.
When you say 'Drugs'

There is no drug problem
The Drug War represents a superstitious fetishization of psychoactive substances as the root of all evil.
How the Drug War turned me into an eternal patient
The DEA does not trust me after 40 years to use psychiatric prescriptions wisely, even though I'd be the first to give them up were the thousands of alternative substances de-criminalized at long last

Americans are so used to urinating upon demand and giving up their rights to plant medicine that they forget that a Drug War even exists.

Drug War Uber Alles
The drug war outlaws substances that could tame humanity's violence-prone heart and thus help us avoid the eventual nuclear annihilation toward which our species seems inevitably headed.
How the drug war promotes drug abuse
The drug war promotes drug abuse by superstitiously pretending that plant medicines are evil in and of themselves, when plant medicines are morally neutral and only good and bad with respect to how and why they are used

Moonfall
Humanoids will tell you that they want peace, but if they're anything like us purebred human beings, peace comes in a distance second to demonizing the very substances that could make that peace possible.
The Racist Drug War killed George Floyd
The Drug War taught cops to treat suspects like scumbags. No wonder that one of the accomplices in George Floyd's murder taunted the crowd by saying: 'just say no to drugs'.

Psychiatry needs to lose its Puritan Drug War scruples about making patients feel good, helping them to relax and draw insight from the supervised use of mother nature's plant-based entheogens.
