Twelve Reasons why the DEA should be abolished

and its leaders put on trial for crimes against humanity

by Ballard Quass, the Drug War Philosopher

Letter to the US Justice Department.

Your DEA is disgraceful.
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.

Some Tweets against the hateful war on drugs

Folks who believe in the drug war should consider that it is a multi-billion-dollar campaign to enforce the attitude of the Pizarro's of the world when it comes to non-western medicines. It is the apotheosis of the colonialism that most people claim to hate.
Over 45% of traumatic brain injuries are caused by horseback riding (ABC News). Tell your representatives to outlaw horseback riding and make it a federal offence to teach a child how to ride! Brought to you by the Partnership for a Death Free America.
We need a few brave folk to "act up" by shouting "It's the drug war!" whenever folks are discussing Mexican violence or inner city shootings. The media treat both topics as if the violence is inexplicable! We can't learn from mistakes if we're in denial.
Google founders used to enthuse about the power of free speech, but Google is actively shutting down videos that tell us how to grow mushrooms -- MUSHROOMS, for God's sake. End the drug war and this hateful censorship of a free people.
Science keeps telling us that godsends have not been "proven" to work. What? To say that psilocybin has not been proven to work is like saying that a hammer has not yet been proven to smash glass. Why not? Because the process has not yet been studied under a microscope.
I've been told by many that I should have seen "my doctor" before withdrawing from Effexor. But, A) My doctor got me hooked on the junk in the first place, and, B) That doctor completely ignores the OBVIOUS benefits of indigenous meds and focuses only on theoretical downsides.
When it comes to "drugs," the government plays Polonius to our Ophelia: OPHELIA: I do not know, my lord, what I should think. POLONIUS: Marry, I'll teach you; think yourself a baby!
I can't believe people. Somebody's telling me that "drugs" is not used problematically. It is CONSTANTLY used with a sneer in the voice when politicians want to diss somebody, as in, "Oh, they're in favor of DRUGS!!!" It's a political term as used today!
In "Four Good Days" the pompous white-coated doctor ignores the entire formulary of mother nature and instead throws the young heroin user on a cot for 3 days of cold turkey and a shot of Naltrexone: price tag $3,000.
Materialist scientists are drug war collaborators. They are more than happy to have their fight against idealism rigged by drug law, which outlaws precisely those substances whose use serves to cast their materialism into question.
