a new group for those who have been brainwashed by drug war propaganda

As a foe of the childish War on Drugs, I am always casting about for a way to really make a difference in ending this nightmare, and today I have hit upon an idea that I think could really make a difference -- with the help of people like yourself, that is. I hereby propose that Americans (and westerners in general) begin coming together in groups called 'Drug Warriors Anonymous,' to expose and discuss the many unacknowledged downsides of Drug War prohibition as well as the way in which we are all brainwashed on a daily basis by Drug War propaganda, first and foremost by the fact that positive stories about drug use are never published today in books, movies and other media.
That's it. I cannot advocate that we get together to use drugs sensibly, thanks to drug laws, but I can suggest that we get together to 'hate on the Drug War' and clearly enunciate all the ways that it is destroying democracy and rendering life miserable -- even resulting in unnecessary suicides and shock therapy for the depressed who could have been cheered up by a wide variety of drugs that America prefers to demonize rather than to use for the benefit of humanity.
Any person who fears that such a group would quickly run out of topics is a person who does not understand the full injustice of the Drug War, how its hateful and childish ideology affects every aspect of American life. To get the cogs turning for those seeking to organize such get-togethers as I recommend under the title of 'Drug Warriors Anonymous,' here are some suggested topics for discussion.
How the Drug War creates no-go zones in cities around the world.
How the Drug War destroys the rule of law in Latin America.
How the Drug War denies us the freedom of religion.
How the Drug War is the worst tyranny of all: it tells us how and how much we are allowed to think and feel in this life.
How drug testing is designed to 'out' Christian Science heretics and NOT to identify incapacitation.
How Drug Warriors outlaw drugs that bring about love, peace and understanding, like Ecstasy, which brought peace and love to British dance floors in the 1990s.
These are just a few topics that come instantly to mind. Feel free to browse this website for many, many more suggestions. If your group is philosophically inclined, they might want to discuss a series of meetings to discuss the following topic: 'How scientists collaborate with the War on Drugs by insisting that materialist scientists are the experts when it comes to mind and mood medicine.'
Hint: They collaborate by insisting that all drug benefits be established on a quantifiable basis -- which means, in practical terms, that they are blind to all glaringly obvious benefits of drug use. Soma inspired the Hindu religion and laughing gas makes the depressed -- and everybody else -- laugh, and yet our materialists will agree with the DEA that these substances have no positive uses whatsoever? Why? Because of their inhumane philosophy of behaviorism, which tells them that all that counts is quantifiable data.
Please, get started today. Hold a meeting for Drug Warriors Anonymous in your neighborhood. Let me know how it goes. Contact Brian @ quass@quass.com.
Here's the recording of one possible meeting of Drug Warriors Anonymous.

"Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death." -Jean Cocteau
First we outlaw all drugs that could help; then we complain that some people have 'TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION'. What? No. What they really "have" is an inability to thrive because of our idiotic drug laws.

Now the US is bashing the Honduran president for working with "drug cartels." Why don't we just be honest and say why we're REALLY upset with the guy? Drugs is just the excuse, as always, now what's the real reason? Stop using the drug war to disguise American foreign policy.
Drug prohibition is a crime against humanity.
In a free world, almost all depressed individuals could do WITHOUT doctors: these adult human beings could handle their own depression with the informed intermittent use of a wide variety of psychoactive substances.
Getting off some drugs could actually be fun and instructive, by using a variety of other drugs to keep one's mind off the withdrawal process. But America believes that getting off a drug should be a big moral battle.
Science keeps telling us that godsends have not been "proven" to work. What? To say that psilocybin has not been proven to work is like saying that a hammer has not yet been proven to smash glass. Why not? Because the process has not yet been studied under a microscope.
Healthline posted an article in 2021 about the benefits of getting off of antidepressants. They did not even mention the biggest benefit: NO LONGER BEING AN ETERNAL PATIENT -- no longer being a child in the eyes of an all-knowing healthcare system.
The FDA is not qualified to tell us whether holistic medicines work. They hold such drugs to materialist standards and that's pharmacological colonialism.
How else will they scare us enough to convince us to give up all our freedoms for the purpose of fighting horrible awful evil DRUGS? DRUGS is the sledgehammer with which they are destroying American democracy.
