CHORUS: Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
It's the dumbest mindset we've ever had,
Like a caveman or brainless undergrad,
We say Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
VERSE 1: Had a job at the local hardware,
Till they told me I had to pee,
To reveal if ever I had,
Used a substance that could have helped me,
Could have helped me,
Could have helped me!
CHORUS: Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
It's the dumbest mindset we've ever had,
Like a caveman or brainless undergrad,
We say Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
(Fools keep tellin' me that)
Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
It's the dumbest mindset we've ever had,
Like a caveman or brainless undergrad,
We say Drugs Kill, Fire Bad!
VERSE 2: Had a job at the local food store,
Till they told me I had to piss,
To find out if ever I had,
Used a substance that racists diss,
That racists diss,
That our racist politicians diss!
Just saw a People's magazine article with the headline: "JUSTICE FOR MATTHEW PERRY."
If there was true justice, their editorial staff would be in jail for promoting user ignorance and a contaminated drug supply.
It's the prohibition, stupid!!!
We should start taking names. All politicians and government officials who work to keep godsends like psilocybin from the public should be held to account for crimes against humanity when the drug war finally ends.
Drugs like opium and cocaine should come with the following warning: "Outlawing of this product may result in inner-city gunfire, civil wars overseas, and rigged elections in which drug warriors win office by throwing minorities in jail."
A pharmacologically savvy drug dealer would have no problem getting someone off one drug because they would use the common sense practice of fighting drugs with drugs. But materialist doctors would rather that the patient suffer than to use such psychologically obvious methods.
Many psychedelic fans are still drug warriors at heart. They just think that a nice big exception should be carved out for the drugs that they're suddenly finding useful.
That's why I created the satirical Partnership for a Death Free America. It demonstrates clearly that drug warriors aren't worried about our health, otherwise they'd outlaw shopping carts, etc. The question then becomes: what are they REALLY afraid of? Answer: Free thinkers.
All uplifting drugs are potential antidepressants. Science denies that fact by claiming that drug efficacy must be proven quantitatively. And so they ignore anecdote, history and psychological common sense.
Today's Washington Post reports that "opioid pills shipped" DROPPED 45% between 2011 and 2019..... while fatal overdoses ROSE TO RECORD LEVELS! Prohibition is PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE.
My local community store here in the sticks sells Trump "dollar bills" at the checkout counter. I don't know what's worse: a president encouraging insurrection or an electorate that does not see that as a problem.
The front page of every mycology club page should feature a protest of drug laws that make the study of mycology illegal in the case of certain shrooms. But no one protests. Their silence makes them drug war collaborators because it serves to normalize prohibition.
