Drug prohibition is a crime against humanity. It is staggeringly cruel. It forces untold millions to suffer in silence.
Take me, for instance. I am attempting to get off and stay off the Big Pharma med called Effexor. And it's not easy. The withdrawal downsides are hideous and can continue for years. And yet it is clear to me -- absolutely clear -- that I could use a variety of drugs like coca and opium and phenethylamines in a strategic and safe way in order to transcend Effexor downsides and truly get off that dependence-causing drug -- starting today! Starting right now! I could get off Effexor! This is just psychological common sense. And yet our drug policy tells us that drugs must be outlawed for everybody if they could be misused by the white young people whom we refuse to educate about safe use.
This algorithm represents a veto on human progress. It represents the end of personal health care. It is illegal to take care of one's emotional and mental health in America. Illegal.
If Americans had a clue what was going on here, then all sites on the topic of Effexor withdrawal would contain protests against drug prohibition, the drug policy which makes that withdrawal impossible. And yet no one connects the dots. That shows how successful the Drug Warriors have been in blinding us to all benefits of demonized substances.
Drug warriors should be put on trial for denying me the godsends that grow at my very feet, for denying me the right to take care of my own health. That is a crime against humanity.
How do they get away with this?
Answer: They never consider any stakeholders in their drug policy debates except for white American young people -- the ones whom they refuse on principle to educate about safe use. They never take into account the depressed whom they are forcing to go without godsend medicines.
A few months ago I wrote about a progressive cousin who spoke favorably about the idea of killing drug dealers. That cousin has a deeply depressed wife. I should have said to him: "That drug prohibition that you champion is the reason why your wife is living in hell 24/7!!!"
Alas, the Drug War clearly demonstrates that you can fool all of the people all of the time. You can even convince progressives to abjure time-honored freedoms in an effort to keep Americans from using godsend medicines. Propaganda is all-powerful. As historian William Shirer wrote in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich:
"No one who has not lived for years in a totalitarian land can possibly conceive how difficult it is to escape the dread consequences of a regime's calculated and incessant propaganda."
The Drug War proves that propaganda works, even in so-called democracies -- and this is a truth that the world has to come to terms with if freedom is to survive on planet Earth. Unless we take steps, like re-legalizing Mother Nature based on common-sense democratic principles, then racist politicians will continue to successfully promote inhumane agendas at the behest of self-interested billionaires.

@HKSExecEd The use of Ecstasy brought UNPRECEDENTED peace and love to the British dance floors in the 1990s. When are political scientists going to acknowledge the potential for such substances to pull our species back from the brink of nuclear annihilation?
Magazines like Psychology Today continue to publish feel-good articles about depression which completely ignore the fact that we have outlawed all drugs that could end depression in a heartbeat.
Irony of ironies, that the indignant 19th-century hatred of liquor should ultimately result in the outlawing of virtually every mind-affecting substance on the planet EXCEPT for liquor.
Mayo Clinic is peddling junk. They are still promoting Venlafaxine, a drug that is harder to kick than heroin. The drug is only a problem, though, because of prohibition. It would be easy to get off of with the help of other drugs!!! WAKE UP, MAYO!
Rick Strassman isn't sure that DMT should be legal. Really?! Does he not realize how dangerous it is to chemically extract DMT from plants? In the name of safety, prohibitionists have encouraged dangerous ignorance and turned local police into busybody Nazis.
I'm grateful to the folks who are coming out of the woodwork at the last minute to deface their own properties with "Trump 2024" signs. Now I'll know who to thank should Trump get elected and sell us out to Putin.
This pretend concern for the safety of young drug users is bizarre in a country that does not even criminalize bump stocks for automatic weapons.
Drug prohibition is the biggest tyranny imaginable. It is the government control of pain relief. It is government telling us how and how much we are allowed to think and feel in this life.
That's why we damage the brains of the depressed with shock therapy rather than let them use coca or opium. That's why many regions allow folks to kill themselves but not to take drugs that would make them want to live. The Drug War is a perversion of social priorities.
The drug war controls the very way that we are allowed to see the world. The Drug War is thus a meta-injustice, not just a handful of bad legal statutes.
