Russian Buk missile is a piñata from hell. It contains 8,000 individual pieces of bow-tie shaped metal, each the size of a Twix candy bar. When the missile explodes, these become projectiles that can easily take down any passenger plane -- as was demonstrated in July 2014 when Ukraine separatists shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 near the Russian border, killing 283 passengers and 15 crew members.
What does this have to do with "drugs"? Just this: In a world where occasional E use was required for anyone exhibiting antisocial feelings, such an event would be unthinkable. A human being wouldn't think of massacring innocents like this. Conclusion: We have drug testing backwards: we need to test people to make sure that people DO have love-stoking drugs in their system, at least when the sober state of such individuals permits of them creating diabolical weaponry that shoots innocent adult, children and babies from the sky.
Say no to the violence of war -- including the Drug War. Say yes to the informed use of peacemaker drugs.

Do you know why I stopped you? That's right, because the Drug War gives me carte blanche to be a noxious busybody. But I also wanted to suggest that you check out a related essay entitled How Ecstasy could end mass shootings. Fair enough? Oh, yeah, and enough with the "Hollywood stops," already. I've got an infractions pad and I'm not afraid to use it.
The call to say "yes" to drugs sounds like heresy to westerners, since they've been been brainwashed since childhood to say no to medicines that have inspired entire religions. But they should remember that the Drug War is not about getting us to say no to drugs -- it's about getting us to say "yes" to the right drugs, as "right" is defined by the economic powers that be. Americans, in particular, are already saying "yes" to drugs in a big way, as 1 in 4 American women are chemically dependent on Big Pharma meds for life. You can search the script.com archive and you'll find almost zero pushback against this pharmacological dystopia in TV shows and movies. To the contrary, you'll find plenty of scripts in which a character is reminded to "take your meds."
So the Drug War itself tells us to say "yes" to drugs. The difference is that we're suggesting that you use the drugs that are right for you and for society -- drugs that will conduce to peace and happiness all around -- rather than the drugs that are right for the stock market and conservative politicians only, and otherwise offer you, personally, precisely zero hope of self-transcendence and peace of mind in this life.
Ketamine is like any other drug. It has good uses for certain people in certain situations. Nowadays, people insist that a drug be okay in every situation for everybody (especially American teens) before they will say that it's okay. That's crazy and anti-scientific.
Psychiatrists keep flipping the script. When it became clear that SSRIs caused dependence, instead of apologizing, they told us we need to keep taking our meds. Now they even claim that criticizing SSRIs is wrong. This is anti-intellectual madness.
Problem 2,643 of the war on drugs:
It puts the government in charge of deciding what counts as a true religion.
Think you can handle a horse? So did Christopher Reeves. The fact is, NOBODY can handle a horse. This message brought to you by the Partnership for a Death Free America.
Every time I see a psychiatrist, I feel like I'm playing a game of make-believe. We're both pretending that hundreds of demonized medicines do not exist and could be of no use whatsoever.
First we outlaw all drugs that could help; then we complain that some people have 'TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION'. What? No. What they really "have" is an inability to thrive because of our idiotic drug laws.

FDA drug approval is a farce when it comes to psychoactive medicine. The FDA ignores all the obvious benefits and pretends that to prove efficacy, they need "scientific" evidence. That's scientism, not science.
Opium is a godsend, as folks like Galen, Avicenna and Paracelsus knew. The drug war has facilitated a nightmare by outlawing peaceable use at home and making safe use almost impossible.
The DEA outlawed MDMA in 1985, thereby depriving soldiers of a godsend treatment for PTSD. Apparently, the DEA staff slept well at night in the early 2000s as American soldiers were having their lives destroyed by IEDs.
The goal of drug-law reform should be to outlaw prohibition. Anything short of that, and our basic rights will always be subject to veto by fearmongers. Outlawing prohibition would restore the Natural Law of Jefferson, which the DEA scorned in 1987 with its raid on Monticello.
