America's Imperialist Christian Science War on Drugs
How the Drug War is a War on the Depressed

The depressed of America are targeted by a Drug War that not only keeps them from using godsend plant medicines -- but then adds insult to injury by blackmailing the entire world into following the same anti-nature policy. It is the worldwide triumph of the anti-drug ideology of Christian Science. In other words, there is nowhere in the world that the depressed can go to get the relief that is their birthright as denizens of planet earth. It is absolute Imperialism. I know. I am one of those depressed, who has spent the last 40 years on mind-numbing and dependence-causing Big Pharma 12 meds, because my country decided that I was not going to be allowed to use the plant medicine that grows at my very feet.
Freud found that cocaine CURED most people's depression and he "got off it" without trouble.
Irony of ironies, that the indignant 19th-century hatred of liquor should ultimately result in the outlawing of virtually every mind-affecting substance on the planet EXCEPT for liquor.
If we let "science" decide about drugs, i.e. base freedom on health concerns, then tea can be as easily outlawed as beer. The fact that horses are not illegal shows that prohibition is not about health. It's about the power to outlaw certain "ways of being in the world."
Musk vies with his fellow materialists in his attempt to diss humans as insignificant. But we are not insignificant. The very term "insignificant" is a human creation. Consciousness rules. Indeed, consciousness makes the rules. Without us, there would only be inchoate particles.
We might as well fight for justice for Christopher Reeves: he was killed because someone was peddling that junk that we call horses. The question is: who sold Christopher that horse?! Who encouraged him to ride it?!
Any self-respecting mycologist should denounce the criminalization of mushrooms.
The outlawing of opium eventually resulted in an "opioid crisis"? The message is clear: people want self-transcendence. If we don't let them find it safely, they will find it dangerously.
If you're looking for an anti-Christ, just look for an American presidential politician who has taught us to hate our enemies. Gee, now, who could that be, huh? According to Trump, Jesus was just a chump. Winning comes before anything at all in his sick view of life.
We've all been taught since grade school that human beings cannot use psychoactive medicines wisely. That is a defeatest lie. It's criminal to keep substances illegal that can awaken the mind and remind us of our full potential in life.
This pretend concern for the safety of young drug users is bizarre in a country that does not even criminalize bump stocks for automatic weapons.
