ith respect, Governor, you are just using drug law to steer attention away from the housing problem in America. The Drug War is always used like that: to steer attention away from social problems by arresting inconvenient populations. Drug warriors are murderers of our young people. MURDERERS! There were no young people dying by the thousands in American streets when opiates were legal. It was prohibition which brought that about. How? By discouraging education and incentivizing dealers to sell potentially contaminated product. When are we going to stop being hoodwinked by Drug Warriors?
Their MO is clear, Governor: They are in COMPLETE DENIAL. They blame all the problems caused by drug prohibition on drugs themselves. It is because of that self-serving misdiagnosis that I had to pay $4,000 to experience the benefits of a time-honored mushroom in Oregon. $4,000! So not only does the Drug War cause endless deaths of young people, it keeps millions of Americans from experiencing godsend medicines.
Please, please, please! Stop falling for the Drug War party line of complete denial. Drug warriors are murderers.
Drugs have never killed. Bad drug policies kill along with a lack of education. Drug warriors do not want education, and they refuse to teach safe use or to provide safe product.
So they are not only murderers, they are WILLFUL murderers. Please do not fall for their lies!
Re-legalize MOTHER NATURE TODAY! TEACH, DON'T ARREST. REGULATE AND EDUCATE!
And then address the homelessness problem honestly, head-on -- without diverting public attention to OTHER issues instead!
Open Letters
Check out the conversations that I have had so far with the movers and shakers in the drug-war game -- or rather that I have TRIED to have. Actually, most of these people have failed to respond to my calls to parlay, but that need not stop you from reading MY side of these would-be chats.
I don't know what's worse, being ignored entirely or being answered with a simple "Thank you" or "I'll think about it." One writes thousands of words to raise questions that no one else is discussing and they are received and dismissed with a "Thank you." So much for discussion, so much for give-and-take. It's just plain considered bad manners these days to talk honestly about drugs. Academia is living in a fantasy world in which drugs are ignored and/or demonized -- and they are in no hurry to face reality. And so I am considered a troublemaker. This is understandable, of course. One can support gay rights, feminism, and LGBTQ+ today without raising collegiate hackles, but should one dare to talk honestly about drugs, they are exiled from the public commons.
Somebody needs to keep pointing out the sad truth about today's censored academia and how this self-censorship is but one of the many unacknowledged consequences of the drug war ideology of substance demonization.
The drug war is a way for conservatives to keep America's eyes OFF the prize. The right-wing motto is, "Billions for law enforcement, but not one cent for social programs."
If religious liberty existed, we would be able to use the inspiring phenethylamines created by Alexander Shulgin in the same way and for the same reasons as the Vedic people of India used soma.
Imagine if there were drugs for which dependency was a feature, not a bug. People would stop peddling that junk, right? Wrong. Just ask your psychiatrist.
It's amazing. Drug law is outlawing science -- and yet so few complain. Drug law tells us what mushrooms we can collect, for God's sake. Is that not straight-up insane? Or are Americans so used to being treated as children that they accept this corrupt status quo?
The Drug War is the ultimate example of strategic fearmongering by self-interested politicians.
There are times when it is clearly WRONG to deny kids drugs (whatever the law may say). If your child is obsessed with school massacres, he or she is an excellent candidate for using empathogenic meds ASAP -- or do we prefer even school shootings to drug use???
"Chemical means of peering into the contents of the inner mind have been universally prized as divine exordia in man’s quest for the beyond... before the coarseness of utilitarian minds reduced them to the status of 'dope'." -- Eric Hendrickson
Timothy Leary's wife wrote: "We went to Puerto Rico and all we did was take cocaine and read Faust to one another." And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with that!!! The drug war is all about scaring us and making illegal drug use as dangerous as possible.
My consciousness, my choice.
If NIDA covered all drugs (not just politically ostracized drugs), they'd produce articles like this: "Aspirin continues to kill hundreds." "Penicillin misuse approaching crisis levels." "More bad news about Tylenol and liver damage." "Study revives cancer fears from caffeine."
