MOM: I heard you passed your urine test to work at the local ABC store.
SON: What can I say? Jesus himself could not have had more impeccable urine than yours truly.
MOM: I'm proud of you, Joey.
SON: Ohh, stop it, Mom!
MOM: Now have a good time at the Dare rally.
SON: I just hope I don't run into Derek.
MOM: Why don't you want to see Derek? I thought he was your best drug-free friend.
SON: He is, but he and I had a falling out about American drug policy.
MOM: Really? What happened?
SON: Well, he agrees with Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates that drug users should be taken out and shot.
MOM: Sounds like a reasonable point of view to me.
SON: Whereas I think William Bennett had the right idea when he said that drug users should be beheaded instead.
MOM: Well, now I think that's a topic upon which reasonable people can disagree.
SON: I'm off.
MOM: Oh, and we're all out of coffee. And Tylenol now that I think of it.
SON: Mom.
MOM: Oh, and if the pharmacy is still open, your sister needs her pills for depression, anxiety and ADHD.
SON: I tell you what, Mom, why don't I just bring back the entire store?
MOM: Don't be such a dope.
SON: Dope, dope?
MOM: I know, I know. You don't do dope.

The Drug War is laughable -- or it would be if the Drug Warriors hadn't deprived us of laughing gas, the substance that William James himself used to study alternate realities.
There are endless creative ways to ward off addiction if all psychoactive medicines were at our disposal. The use of the drugs synthesized by Alexander Shulgin could combat the psychological downsides of withdrawal by providing strategic "as-needed" relief.
Materialist scientists cannot triumph over addiction because their reductive focus blinds them to the obvious: namely, that drugs which cheer us up ACTUALLY DO cheer us up. Hence they keep looking for REAL cures while folks kill themselves for want of laughing gas and MDMA.
An Englishman's home is his castle.
An American's home is a bouncy castle for the DEA.
As great as it is, "Synthetic Panics" by Philip Jenkins was only tolerated by academia because it did not mention drugs in the title and it contains no explicit opinions about drugs. As a result, many drug law reformers still don't know the book exists.
If America cannot exist without outlawing drugs, then there is something wrong with America, not with drugs.
When Rick Strassman and Michael Pollan call for continued prohibition to protect young people, they ignore the ENORMOUS fact that prohibition has destroyed inner cities around the world. Wake up, guys! Prohibition is evil, not drugs! Ignorance is evil, not education!
ECT is like euthanasia. Neither make sense in the age of prohibition.
To understand why the western world is blind to the benefits of "drugs," read "The Concept of Nature" by Whitehead. He unveils the scientific schizophrenia of the west, according to which the "real" world is invisible to us while our perceptions are mere "secondary" qualities.
The DEA is a Schedule I agency. It has no known positive uses and is known to cause death and destruction.
Yeah. That's why it's so pretentious and presumptuous of People magazine to "fight for justice" on behalf of Matthew Perry, as if Perry would have wanted that.
