THE DEA IS A DISGRACE. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRIMINALIZE PLANTS. THOMAS JEFFERSON ROLLED IN HIS GRAVE WHEN YOU STOMPED ONTO Monticello 5 AND CONFISCATED HIS POPPY PLANTS. TEACH ABOUT SUBSTANCES, STOP DEMONIZING THEM. YOU CAUSED 2000+ DEATHS IN CHICAGO ALONE LAST YEAR BY THE VIOLENCE WROUGHT BY PROHIBITION. YOU CREATED WARS IN SOUTH AMERICA. YOU EMPOWERED FASCISTS BY REMOVING MINORITIES FROM THE VOTING ROLLS. YOUR PROHIBITION HAS CREATED THE PSYCHIATRIC PILL MILL, UPON WHICH 1 IN 4 AMERICAN WOMEN ARE DEPENDENT FOR LIFE. YOUR DRUG WAR HAS CAUSED ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT IT PURPORTS TO SOLVE, AND THEN SOME.

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
Drug Prohibition Downside #1,529:
aviation accidents caused by pilots who failed to use mind-sharpening drugs to improve their situational awareness. (See, for instance, Comair flight 5191)
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.
Besides, why should I listen to the views of a microbe?
People magazine should be fighting for justice on behalf of the thousands of American young people who are dying on the streets because of the drug war.
