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!

As such, "we" are important. The sun is just a chaos of particles that "we" have selected out of the rest of the raw data and declared "This we shall call the sun!" "We" make this universe. Consciousness is fundamental.
The healthcare industry turns all the emotional downsides of drug prohibition into "illnesses."
When it comes to "drugs," the government plays Polonius to our Ophelia:
OPHELIA: I do not know, my lord, what I should think.
POLONIUS: Marry, I'll teach you; think yourself a baby!
Do drug warriors realize that they are responsible for the deaths of young people on America's streets? Look in the mirror, folks: J'excuse! People were not dying en masse from opium overdoses when opiates were legal. It took your prohibition to accomplish that! Stop arresting, start teaching safe use!
The drug war encourages us to judge people based on what they use and in what context. Even if the couch potato had no conscious health goals, their use of MJ is very possibly shielding them from health problems, like headaches, sleeplessness, and overreliance on alcohol.
I'll never understand Americans. Most of them HATE big government -- and yet they have no problem with government using drug prohibition to control how and how much they can think and feel in this life. Talk about warped priorities.
All drugs have positive uses. It's absurd to prohibit using them because one demographic might misuse them.
AI is inherently plagiaristic technology. It tells us: "Hey, guys, look what I can do!" -- when it should really be saying, "Hey, guys, look how I stole all your data and repackaged it in such a way as to make it appear that I am the genius, not you!"
Most substance withdrawal would be EASY if drugs were re-legalized and we could use any substance we wanted to mitigate negative psychological effects.
This is the "Oprah fallacy," which has led to so much suffering. She told women they were fools if they accepted a drink from a man. That's crazy. If we are terrified by such a statistically improbable event, we should be absolutely horrified by horses and skateboards.
As such, "we" are important. The sun is just a chaos of particles that "we" have selected out of the rest of the raw data and declared "This we shall call the sun!" "We" make this universe. Consciousness is fundamental.
