and its leaders put on trial for crimes against humanity

Letter to the US Justice Department.
Your DEA is disgraceful.
They have been lying about godsend plant medicine for almost half a century now.
They have denied godsend medicine to soldiers suffering from PTSD for the last 40 years, by criminalizing MDMA against the advice of their own counsel.
They have sprayed marijuana plants with a known toxin called paraquat, that has been shown to cause Parkinson's Disease.
They have militarized police forces with their drug laws, caused civil wars overseas, and empowered a self-described drug-war Hitler in the Philippines.
They were responsible last year for almost 800 black deaths in Chicago alone, thanks to the gunfire that substance prohibition brings to poor, and poorly educated, neighborhoods.
They have enforced drug laws that have taken millions of minorities off of the voting rolls, thereby ensuring the election of anti-American fascists.
They have made me go my whole life now without godsend medicine, forcing me to rely on the expensive and addictive psychiatric pill mill which was created by Big Pharma thanks to the monopoly that the Drug War gave them on mood medicine.
They violated Natural Law by stomping onto Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in 1987 and confiscating his poppy plants.
They have censored science every bit as much as the Catholic Church censored Galileo.
They have criminalized peace-making drugs like Ecstasy and psilocybin, which could be used therapeutically to end school shootings.
They created the opioid crisis out of whole cloth thanks to their policy of substance prohibition, which incentivizes dealers to sell the most addictive and readily available substances, for which there's an eager market when the DEA has outlawed all safer pharmacological paths to self-transcendence.
They have violated religious liberty by outlawing the same plant medicine that inspired the Vedic-Hindu religion and countless South American and Native American religions.
Your DEA should be abolished and its leaders put on trial for crimes against humanity.

Shortly after submitting the above interesting message, our apparently masochistic author sent the following message directly to the DEA via the comment form on the DEA Museum Page. Brian, of course, found the mere existence of that page outrageous, since it paraded plants before the public as if to show us a criminal lineup. Surely even a grade-schooler can see the anti-scientific folly of such brain-dead show trials. At least Stalin's henchmen were "trying" actual people for made-up crimes. Today's Drug Warrior is demonizing plants and fungi.
THE DEA IS A DISGRACE. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRIMINALIZE PLANTS. THOMAS JEFFERSON ROLLED IN HIS GRAVE WHEN YOU STOMPED ONTO MONTICELLO 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.
I will gladly respect the police once we remove them from Gestapo duty by ending the war on drugs. Police should also learn to live on a budget, without deriving income from confiscating houses and dormitories, etc.
John Halpern wrote a book about opium, subtitled "the ancient flower that poisoned our world." What nonsense! Bad laws and ignorance poison our world, NOT FLOWERS!
Until we get rid of all these obstacles to safe and informed use, it's presumptuous to explain problematic drug use with theories about addiction. Drug warriors are rigging the deck in favor of problematic use. They refuse to even TEACH non-problematic use.
The Petpedia website says that "German Shepherds need to have challenging jobs such as searching for drugs." How about searching for prohibitionists instead?
The confusion arises because materialists insist that every psychological problem is actually a physical problem, hence the disease-mongering of the DSM. This is antithetical to the shamanic approach, which sees people holistically, as people, not patients.
If religious liberty existed, we would be able to use the inspiring phenethylamines created by Alexander Shulgin in the same way and for the same reasons as the Vedic people of India used soma.

NOTICE OF SCAM
You may have seen messages from a so-called DEA, purporting to tell you that drugs have no positive uses. This is a SCAM. All substances have potential positive uses at some dose, for some reason, in some circumstance.
Mad in America solicits personal stories about people trying to get off of antidepressants, but they will not publish your story if you want to use entheogenic medicines to help you. They're afraid their readers can't handle the truth.
Here is a typical user report about a drug that the DEA tells us has no positive uses whatsoever:
"There is a profoundness of meaning inherent in anything that moves." (reported in "Pikhal" by Alexander Shulgin)

For more information about America's disgraceful drug war, which is anti-patient, anti-minority, anti-scientific, anti-mother nature, imperialistic, the establishment of the Christian Science religion, a violation of the natural law upon which America was founded, and a childish and counterproductive way of looking at the world, one which causes all of the problems that it purports to solve, and then some, visit the drug war philosopher, at abolishTheDEA.com.
