Did the Vedic People have a substance disorder because they wanted to drink enough soma to see religious realities?
The prohibitionist motto: "Billions for arrest, not one cent for education."
Being less than a month away from an election that, in my view, could end American democracy, I don't like to credit Musk for much. But I absolutely love it every time he does or says something that pushes back against the drug-war narrative.
SWAT raids have increased by 15,000 percent from the late 1970s to today, resulting in 50,000 to 80,000 SWAT raids annually in the US alone. --War On Us
