elcome to Spanish Drug War 101, where we will be learning the Spanish language while trashing the Drug War in all 18 of its verb tenses. We will start our lessons today, appropriately enough, with the verb "odiar," the Spanish word for "hate," so that we can easily communicate our contempt for the counterproductive policy of prohibition when we're down south. Speaking of which, get those field trip forms signed for our upcoming flight to San Jose del Pacifico in Oaxaca, Mexcio. We will be going down there this fall to learn about the time-honored Zapotec practice of ingesting mushrooms for medicinal and psycho-spiritual purposes.

Don't forget to click the audio button above to hear the sample sentences for all 18 of the possible Spanish conjugations of the verb "odiar," to hate. And stay tuned for more Drug War Spanish in the weeks to come!

Some Tweets against the hateful war on drugs

When Americans "obtain their majority" and wish to partake of drugs safely, they should be paired with older adults who have done just that. Instead, we introduce them to "drug abusers" in prerecorded morality plays to reinforce our biased notions that drug use is wrong.
If drug war logic made sense, we would outlaw endless things in addition to drugs. Because the drug war says that it's all worth it if we can save just one life -- which is generally the life of a white suburban young person, btw.
I personally hate beets and I could make a health argument against their legality. Beets can kill for those allergic to them. Sure, it's a rare condition, but since when has that stopped a prohibitionist from screaming bloody murder?
Mad in America solicits personal stories about people trying to get off of antidepressants, but they will not publish your story if you want to use entheogenic medicines to help you. They're afraid their readers can't handle the truth.
If the depressed patient laughs, that means nothing. Materialists have to see results under a microscopic or they will never sign off on a therapy.
Drug warriors abuse the English language.
What is the end game of the drug warrior? A world in which no one wants drugs? That's not science. It's the drug-hating religion of Christian Science. You know, the American religion that outsources its Inquisition to drug-testing labs.
Classic prohibitionist gaslighting, telling me that "drugs" is a neutral term. What planet are they living on?
Drug use is judged by different standards than any other risky activity in the western world. One death can lead to outrage, even though that death might be statistically insignificant.
This, by the way, is why we can't just "follow the science." The "acceptable risk" for psychoactive drugs can only be decided by the user, based on what they prioritize in life. Science just assumes that all users should want to live forever, self-fulfilled or not.
