Welcome to the Drug War Podcast for Saturday, June 14, 2025, from AbolishTheDEA.com. Please welcome today's guest, Og the Caveman.
Og caveperson, not caveman.
Now, I understand that you have an urgent message for our young people.
Fire bad! Fire bad!
Fire bad? Fire has a lot of amazing and beneficial uses.
You would not say that if YOUR family had been killed by fire.
You see what I did there?
Yes, I see what you did there, Og. You stole the moral high ground by superstitiously demonizing the godsend substance known as fire.
Thereby proving that the Drug War mindset goes back tens of thousands of years.
The Drug War mindset?
Yes, the Drug War mindset is this crazy idea that we should fear dangerous substances rather than to learn how to use them as wisely as possible for human benefit.
Great. Wait till I get back to 15,000 BCE and tell my better half that I am so far ahead of my time when it comes to childish fear mongering!

Had the DEA been active in the Punjab and 1500 BCE, there would be no Hindu religion today.
Here are some political terms that are extremely problematic in the age of the drug war:
"clean," "junk," "dope," "recreational"... and most of all the word "drugs" itself, which is as biased and loaded as the word "scab."
Amphetamines are "meds" when they help kids think more clearly but they are "drugs" when they help adults think more clearly. That shows you just how bewildered Americans are when it comes to drugs.
Imagine a world in which we were told about both the potential benefits AND the potential harms of drugs like cocaine and opium.
This is why the foes of suicide are doing absolutely nothing to get laughing gas into the hands of those who could benefit from it. Laughing is subjective after all. In the western tradition, we need a "REAL" cure to depression.
Outlawing substances like laughing gas and MDMA makes no more sense than outlawing fire.
In "Four Good Days" the pompous white-coated doctor ignores the entire formulary of mother nature and instead throws the young heroin user on a cot for 3 days of cold turkey and a shot of Naltrexone: price tag $3,000.
The reasons that people use drugs are psychologically obvious. Academics gaslight us on this topic and invent new diseases to explain away our desire to live large.
The depressed Canadian Claire Brosseau wants the state to kill her. This is the same state that refuses to let her use drugs that could make her want to live. https://abolishthedea.com/drug_use_is_not_worse_than_death
The "scheduling" system is completely anti-scientific and anti-patient. It tells us we can make a one-size-fits-all decision about psychoactive substances without regard for dosage, context of use, reason for use, etc. That's superstitious tyranny.
