The Only Good Hippo...

a public service announcement from the Partnership for a Death Free America

by Brian Ballard Quass, the Drug War Philosopher

June 20, 2025



Click audio link above to listen to the latest public service announcement from the Partnership for a Death Free America. This 30-second spot ("The Only Good Hippo") is a long-overdue clarion call to exterminate hippopotami in response to the threat that they pose to our dear American young people. Mothers, it is time to speak up on behalf of your kids. Biodiversity is all well and good, but the well-being of white kids must always come first.



People ask me, "How can you be in favor of exterminating hippopotami?" I take one look at my poor little white children and ask myself, "How could I NOT?"


The hippopotamus is the world's most deadly animal. It kills up to 3,000 people every year, many of them white. Tell your representative to support the Taney-Dipschitz Bill to exterminate hippopotami worldwide.


How could I NOT?!

Saying "Fentanyl kills" is philosophically equivalent to saying "Fire bad!" Both statements are attempts to make us fear dangerous substances rather than to learn how to use them as safely as possible for human benefit.

Classic prohibitionist gaslighting, telling me that "drugs" is a neutral term. What planet are they living on?

Americans were always free to take care of their own health -- until drug warriors handed doctors a monopoly on providing mind and mood medicine.

I hope that scientists will eventually find the prohibition gene so that we can eradicate this superstitious way of thinking from humankind. "Ug! Drugs bad! Drugs not good for anyone, anywhere, at any dose, for any reason, ever! Ug!"

The Partnership for a Death Free America is launching a campaign to celebrate the 50th year of Richard Nixon's War on Drugs. We need to give credit where credit's due for the mass arrest of minorities, the inner city gun violence and the civil wars that it's generated overseas.

Pro-psychedelic websites tell me to check with my "doctor" before using Mother Nature. But WHY? I'm the expert on my own psychology, damn it. These "doctors" are the ones who got me hooked on synthetic drugs, because they honor microscopic evidence, not time-honored usage.

Drug Prohibition is a crime against humanity. It outlaws our right to take care of our own health.

If anyone manages to die during an ayahuasca ceremony, it is considered a knockdown argument against "drugs." If anyone dies during a hunting club get-together, it is considered the victim's own damn fault.

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. 3:51 PM · Jul 15, 2024

I'm looking for a United Healthcare doctor now that I'm 66 years old. When I searched my zip code and typed "alternative medicine," I got one single solitary return... for a chiropractor, no less. Some choice. Guess everyone else wants me to "keep taking my meds."
