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!

If MAPS wants to make progress with MDMA they should start "calling out" the FDA for judging holistic medicines by materialist standards, which means ignoring all glaringly obvious benefits.
Scientists are not the experts on psychoactive medicines. The experts are painters and artists and spiritualists -- and anyone else who simply wants to be all they can be in life. Scientists understand nothing of such goals and aspirations.
Who would have thought back in 1776 that Americans would eventually have to petition their government for the right to even possess a damn mushroom. The Drug War has destroyed America.
I'm told that science is completely unbiased today. I guess I'll have to go back and reassess my doubts about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
We westerners have "just said no" to pain relief, mood elevation and religious insight.
If we encourage folks to use antidepressants daily, there is nothing wrong with them using heroin daily. A founder of Johns Hopkins used morphine daily and he not only survived, but he thrived.
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.
What are drug dealers doing, after all? They are merely selling substances that people want and have always had a right to, until racist politicians came along and decided government had the right to ration out pain relief and mystical experience.
If psychoactive drugs had never been criminalized, science would never have had any reason or excuse for creating SSRIs that muck about unpredictably with brain chemistry. Chewing the coca leaf daily would be one of many readily available "miracle treatments" for depression.
We give kids drugs to improve their concentration -- but if adults use drugs to improve their concentration, we throw them in jail.
