  1. Future historians will look back on the war on drugs and be baffled at the stupidity.

  2. Sorry, that kind of thing terrifies me as an American who knows what any government that goes unchecked is capable of for the benefit of a few powerful people. That is why we need to stand together across oceans against misinformation and coercive control and most importantly the ignorance of others. Glad you are safe and so happy we can now all reach out to each other.

  3. Honestly I don't think cares about politics, he just knows it gets attention.

  4. We used to commit People like that now we give them a YouTube channel and send them on their way. One scientist put it perfectly as an infection of the mind. Totally NUTS
    27
  5. It will never change the way drugs are now. People will always do drugs and until we take the criminality out of drugs then nothing will change!
    20
  6. You are absolutely correct!
    19
  7. And here we are today a deeply divided nation one gunshot away from completely breaking down! But some people sure made a lot of money! Makes me sick.
    17
  8. I feel horrible for the grieving families but this has been going on long before social media. I raised my 3 kids with complete awareness of what they're around such as drugs including alcohol. People didn't approve of my open conversations with my kids but they're a!l now in their 30s (with kids of their own) happy and healthy. I didn't try to control them rather than educate them and had a policy that they can call me 24/7 and I will come and get them if they're not feeling safe. Also can talk to me about anything, especially if they're thinking of "trying" something.
    15
  9. Yeah, we're all still waiting for the "trickle down"! What a joke
    14
  10. That's because you're not a misogynistic narcissistic sociopath!! Thank you!!
    14
  11. Loved how they broke out some Donetsk rap! Funny (ironic) because there are "war zones" here in American too, they're just fought between gangs where occasionally civilian casualties get hit too, only without the heavy artillery, thank God! Also there are silent curfews, meaning there are places you DO NOT want to be caught after dark. It's so sad that after all these thousands of years men still can't seem to work out their shit, maybe it's time to give the women a turn?!
    12
  12. Ahh, another wonderful product of our prison system. These guys are great, hope they can help others too.
    11
  13. Yes but a lot of people who watch Vice are young and have no clue about this stuff.
    8
  14. There's no difference between 20 year olds or 60 year olds who constantly party except the 20s are better looking. Everyone is looking for a connection or just to dance and have fun. At least when you see an older person partying they can usually handle their drugs where kids can turn into complete dumbasses.

  15. Bobby Hall, that's the problem though, they will never be arrested let alone convicted!! It's a shame!

  16. Unless you're a man, then you can be superior to a woman (in his ideology)

  17. uschi lou you have to remember that life is always changing, no matter what your choices are/were the consequences of those choices will bring change. What you do with whatever is thrown at you is how you determine your happiness. What I'm trying to say is, instead of deciding to shoot up heroin, maybe you learned to play the tuba, but while walking to tuba practice you were hit by a bus and paralysed. Now you are either going to make your life what you want it to be, whether you're a paralysed tuba player or an ex heroin addict, or ballerina. So being "well" is a state of mind, or attitude, that is completely and totally under your control no matter what the circumstances.  <3

  18. The more money a person has the more corrupt they are in concealing it. Drugs should be decriminalized then where would they be?
    5
  19. I am a firm believer that adults should be able to decide what to do with their bodies as long as it doesn't involve hurting others, unless of course that's what they're into. I'm glad he has found his peeps, most haven't.
    5
  20. Anonymous needs to hit this company.
    5
  21. Yes thankfully Kratom and even pot are mostly legal now. We can even get ketamine infusions if you can afford it.
    4
  22. I can't grow 50 poppies in my garden but these monsters can get away with these atrocities?! Yeah right
    4
  23. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the government has the final say of what I can put into my own body?!! Yet killing me to protect me is ok??! WTF kind of absolute insanity is that!
    4
  24. Yes he quit right when his next choice to go on would've meant the "drugs" in sex, drugs and rock and roll!
    4
  25. Importantly remember they could've ridden all the way from the beginning in an RV!!
    4
  26. This is great! As long as people can go to their religion (churches, mosque, temple) and do whatever they do inside them then they cannot judge these folks. And a huge plus is they're outside in Nature
    3
  27. And if a bunch of naive poor college students can do this what can huge experienced fully funded organizations do? People are so easily led, the unfortunateness is this is used to keep people divided and conquered and also today is leading to a lot of violence!!
    3
  28. Or as the admirable Hunter S. Thompson said "you can turn your back on a man but you can't turn your back on a drug"
    3
  29. Like the kkk?
    3
  30. So you take no responsibility yourself? Typical, and who should the alcoholic blame?
    3
  31. Our drug laws have done much more harm than good! I hope those kids are doing good today.
    3
  32. Throw a person in prison for choosing to do drugs, guy kills thousands by out pricing?
    3
  33. This is why people like Trump cannot be President! We cannot function like this because if we do at some point everyone is fair game! These absolute psychos forget we are ALL HUMAN!
    3
  34. Omg I almost fell off my chair when he asks the doctor "man, have you tried this"?
    3
  35. Never heard of this before and at first I thought it looked like "Jack Ass" but after his Minneapolis coverage I may watch some. He should do more coverage on the suffering of the poor liberal working class because we're out here.
    3
  36. Agree and since Burning Man has become SO over hyped, over priced and so many idiots go it's time for a new grass roots desert festival
    3
  37. Back when Congress still did good things, when some politicians were good people and we weren't arguing about stupid already resolved issues like religion!!! And for showing that Reagan was just another puppet.
    3
  38. If an adult makes the decision to drink themselves silly, walk on the side of the road and get run over, or get behind the wheel and kill themselves and other people we do NOTHING to make alcohol illegal, but if an adult wants to do other drugs then WHOA BABY!?!! WTF?? Stop trying to babysit adults, if they want to do drugs they'll find a way, remember glue is always available.
    3
  39. VERY good question! We need to have an answer that is not crap.
    3
  40. Sweetie (my daughter) you are like me, whether for good or bad, you always see the best in humanity. I too hope she has learned, but Indrek also could be spot on.

  41. I live in a small town with a small Mall and they decided to set up a couple chairs and display stands with pamphlets. Well I said (I work at this Mall) you can't be here and he said "we have permission from the owner" so I left it alone. Well come to find out someone knew the owner and asked them and they had no idea! This was right before Covid so I didn't have to deal with telling them this until this week they came back Sept. 29, 2024! So I said again, they don't have permission and again he tried to say they did so I called him on it. He then said they did the landscaping and had put into their contract they had permission!!?? He finally admitted he did NOT have permission from the owner but asked the property management!? Lied to me face and did it without batting an eye! Nope they're a CULT and a dangerous one!!
    2
  42. As long as it's their choice to be there, they're all adults and get paid etc. I'd like to see bigger rooms or even little apartments. If the world was a fair place and they'd be able to get regular good paying jobs but let's be real of course they're discriminated against. It's a double edged sword, for people to accept them they need to live in society but to live in society people need to accept them.
    2
  43. What about tax evasion? If he's not a federally recognized church and doesn't have tax exempt status then he's screwed
    2
  44. Those people just want the place to themselves, I feel for 3rd eye man because he wants to make a village. I am shocked there's not more people there it looks like true paradise!
    2
  45. And that's why we need government oversights! One of many reasons, or people like this (which sadly these days in America is A LOT) would literally have slaves if they could!
    2
  46. In the end he just wanted to be Hollywood elite and honestly lost his charm. He needs to accept "Birdemic" is not "Star Wars" (the first low budget one) at least he's got a great day job!
    2
  47. Humans will look back to the war on drugs for what it is, insane money making propaganda that ruined millions of lives for power.
    2
  48. Yes and who would support rich companies over the average hard working American? Hmmm rhymes with Pibublican
    2
  49. There's clinics everywhere now but they're super expensive! I was looking at it for help with migraines but it was $700 for one dose and they recommended 3 visits, $2100 for 3 weeks????
    2
  50. Funny how the drugs that most open your mind are the most punishable? Right no agenda there?
    2
  51. Genius! Absolfuckenlutely shows the true colors of the entertainment industry, no ANY multimillion dollar industry.
    2
  52. You can see their absolute jealousy of women and minorities! It's so sad except that they act like spoiled children but with guns! If you don't like women fine stay away!
    2
  53. Sounds like my last boyfriend.
    2
  54. ADORABLE British skate rats! As a Gen-X OG I've raised another generation of skaters with the next on the way! Better than having them out stabbing people, you gotta be fit to skate.
    2
  55. Fighting a war on drugs is like trying to stop eating all sugar, not gonna happen, ever.
    2
  56. How does he make money?
    2
  57. I think because first of all the reporting was not biased either way and hippies been living like this for a long time, without the guns so rational people understand and stay outta politics!
    2
  58. No amount of money would have me go through any pain by choice!
    2
  59. So the one person he finds with a negative outcome took 40 times a normal dose? That's like asking someone who drank 10 gallons of coffee or whisky if their inevitable hospital stay should be the reason they're made illegal?! That was just bad journalism guys.
    2
  60. It should be a choice!!!! People can drink from dawn to dusk but do any other drug and you're a junkie loser!?!?
    2
  61. I know this sounds hokey but if you're going to do this you need to have total positive energy. It's the law of attraction. Safe travels everyone!
    2
  62. Yes now MILLIONS of legitimate, legal chronic pain patients are needlessly and horribly suffering now since the 2016 CDC B.S.! The overdose rate has gone up since 2016?!?!
    2
  63. Fast food

  64. He reminds me of my son. My son was raised with 2 sisters a grandma and single Mom so was always very comfortable with women, he's also very masculine. For Halloween at 10 he was Richard Simmons and at 13 he was Brittney Spears. When he was 12 I got him 2 pairs of boxing gloves and for the next 3 years he had a fight club at our house. Seems the stronger and more self assured a man is the more he accepts and appreciates not only women but his own femininity.
    2
  65. Are you sure she's not the CEO of McDonald's
    2
  66. Hey back.in the 60s and 70s.CA was awesome! My grandfather and grandmother lived there in the 1940s during ww2, he was in the Army. Now it's VERY different.
    2
  67. Oh the cops are more than equipped to stop this but the majority of their resources are used to go after NONVIOLENT drug users who have never hurt anyone!!
    2
  68. Very well said! These people are like the little kid who shows the other kids their candy then say nah-nah-nah ALL MINE!!
    2
  69. This guy is a true hero!
    2
  70. If these greedy people cared for anything but money they would have thought about the children's lives but they don't remember that.
    2
  71. I live in an area that's become very Alt right and gang stalking is real if you're a trans or super liberal person. But I do believe some are definitely mental disorders.
    2
  72. The fact that in America we can't even make tea from dried poppy pods sure tells you who is really in charge of drugs, not Cartels, but governments.
    2
  73. As a women though I want men to understand and change so including them in our conversation is the only way.
    2
  74. I guess she hasn't been told that American Qanon is racist and misogynists! Can't wait for these trolls to crawl back into their dungeons.
    2
  75. No one elected President will ever be for the people, we need to press the reset button.

  76. I would rather have a root canal, without novocaine by a dental student.
    1
  77. Perfect blend of nurture and nature! Such a beautiful man.
    1
  78. If law enforcement even put 1/4th the resources into stopping REAL crime, violent crimes that ruin lives that they put into catching nonviolent adults who decide to use substances other than alcohol we wouldn't have paedophiles, rapists etc!!! End the failed War on drugs and start fighting REAL crimes like this. It's embarrassing and curious that these guys have to do this, not law enforcement! I'm not blaming the good cops out there who ARE fighting this but the higher ups who make these decisions.
    1
  79. War on drugs is equal to someone sawing off their foot to cure a stubbed toe.
    1
  80. As a women I would be totally put off by that! But I'm put off by plastic surgery as a whole
    1
  81. So where does it say if you do drugs you're sinning? Thou shall not smoke A blunt!!!
    1
  82. I had to fast forward past the evil raw meat guy.
    1
  83. "I'll probably just take the pain" HA! Says someone who has never had surgery!
    1
  84. Yes, but its really good coke. ;)
    1
  85. Oh please there's influencers in EVERY country and culture, not just America!
    1
  86. So he's a Mormon then?
    1
  87. The insidious propaganda! That's like being super excited about a supermax prison full of serial killers being built in your town? Wow awesome!! Only this is much worse systematic death by government of people and planet.
    1
  88. I had one son and I didn't want circumcision but his dad did. We had a Jewish pediatric doctor so I was out numbered. He's in his 30s now and I think he's ok with it, not a conversation he wants to have with his Mom even though I've asked. I agree we should not do it through.
    1
  89. They're shooting themselves in the foot by pandering to the shareholders they will lose the entire business. I stopped going to Starbucks when this whole thing started!
    1
  90. I think what may be missing is the elder "unicorns". So many have already been (hopefully lived through) the true exploration of ourselves and the wide world and have wisdom. I was blessed to have kids and now grandkids to share with. I think they're all wonderfully bright lights trying to live their truth.
    1
  91. I'm glad these are happening, around here we used to call them Barter Fairs. Personally I'd rather just go to Costa Rica and explore but there's something fun in collectively gathering. But where are the people who may not look like they're models?
    1
  92. YES! Eloquently put
    1
  93. Rather them than the elderly on fixed incomes! In today's world when over half the worlds.population lives below the poverty line and these "influencers" flaunt their wealth they've accumulated by doing absolutely nothing what do people expect? It's sickening these people exist in a world that's on the brink of extinction. But we are destroying ourselves and to me this is a huge 'sign of the times' as to why.
    1
  94. There are real empaths out there but they don't come out of house, ever.
    1
  95. Nope, glad they like like it but give me a nice hippy party any day. Too much alcohol and testosterone.
    1
  96. Typical America!! We need the government to save us from ourselves!! URGH!! If an adult wants to run in a bubble to Bermuda just let them!!!
    1
  97. So happy he's such an awesome guy! Came out in high school for me, great memories
    1
  98. It is absolute insanity that people can be put in prison for growing a plant I will never understand it
    1
  99. Thank goodness for the internet where we can still see actual news stories like this, shame on those rich vampires for their knowingly evil deeds, may karma visit you soon.
    1
  100. This should be priority number one for law enforcement! Stop making drugs and users the villains, these are truly evil people who have to be stopped!
    1
  101. My friend was busted with drug paraphernalia his bail was $150,000. He was in holding with a guy who molested his daughters aged 8 and 10 his bail was $30,000! The system is corrupt and evil and needs to stop!
    1
  102. Just another reason we need to overthrow the wealthy!!! Viva la Revolution, Viva La Resistance!!
    1
  103. Acquitted??!!
    1
  104. One thing at to quickly stop this is to decriminalize drugs, give adu!it's what they want regulated by the government completely cutting out the middlemen (gangs). We will never ever stop drug use and humans (even animals) have been using mind altering substances since the dawn of time. We pretend to care that people are on drugs yet have no problem throwing nonviolent drug users and sellers into prison giving them life long sentences of felonies?!! Yet we push alcohol like it's a right of passage giving so many mixed messages it's no wonder people feel lied to. Legalization of all plants would also help solve this giving people a safer alternative to get their drugs.
    1
  105. Allied govs love this! Why do people allow that horrible government to continue? I'd give my life to help stop that in my country if it ever happened
    1
  106. Those are coveted views?? Urgh! I have trees mountains and rivers for my views, now those are worth 85billion! Personally not at all for me!
    1
  107. Sickening!! Wait until they come upon true evil, oh wait they do every time they look in the mirror.
    1
  108. Trillions wasted and we've actually managed to make the problem worse, but I'm sure a lot of people have made a lot of money from peoples misery.
    1
  109. CE5
    1
  110. The minute we decriminalize drugs crime will drop, it's the illegality of it that makes it dangerous and much more profitable for everyone, especially the government.
    1
  111. Scientists have found that 1% to 3% of people become addicts period, whether it's drugs, shopping, gambling etc and no matter what they'll find something so instead of fighting all the people who use safely and recreationaly set up a system for those who have the problem. Make them legal and regulated like alcohol and same laws apply. It's better than what we're doing now and we would save a ton of taxpayers money.
    1
  112. Only in the UK, in America they would've been shot, or at the very least labeled terrorists and locked up FOREVER. No more war!
    1
  113. Funny because from a women's perspective I saw the song as showing the absolute stupidity of men who cheat, oh wasn't you, buh-bye
    1
  114. I'd rather have a root canal
    1
  115. Sorry if I missed this but is she a medical doctor?
    1
  116. These employees and people living there are all heroic! Overcoming childhood trauma is a lifelong pursuit, it's a worthy pursuit and these people are doing it with grace and love. Thank you.
    1
  117. An adult should have the right no matter what, psychological illnesses are no different in terms of suffering. Instead of making it yes or no maybe have support for people or a period of time with trying different medications. I had to laugh at the guy saying "doctors only help" when they're cutting people off of their years long stable pain medications because the government is playing doctor and they did that in weeks!! The daughter wanted to be consulted but it's not her decision either. I pray no one has to make this decision but if they do they should be able to choose.
    1
  118. I want to know more about what McKinnon found. Don't forget to look up.
    1
  119. We are allowing a small minority of greedy power hungry HUMANS enslave us, we don't need any influence from an outside source.
    1
  120. That's why anyone who follows a party or candidate without any reservations is not someone who should ever be trusted. I am pro-choice, gun rights advocate and my number one issue is the environment so those are the issues I look for. I don't care what you believe as long as you keep the violent actions out of it!
    1
  121. This is how law enforcement started out, but now they are too influenced by corporations and the rich, also the feds have way to much say in what local government can and cannot do. But remember we the people can change the laws! Hats off to these men and women, true heros!
    1
  122. So that's the gateway drug, CARROTS! seriously though the old axiom holds true, absolute power corrupts absolutely! He's a conman 100%
    1
  123. I'm all for it if a women wants to work as a sex worker but I also believe adults should be in charge of what they want to consume, call me crazy!
    1
  124. Just ask 90s club kids about dosages and safety, they're still going, at least the friends I know. On a serious note, since pot and now ketamine have become "legal" we may have hope for the end to this broken system, the demonizing of drugs, opening up to better treatment and research, and an end to the utter failure of "the war on drugs".
    1
  125. Mental illness and drug addiction both are misunderstood and have been demonized. Compassion and education is what we need. Thanks for being so eloquent, and beautiful.
    1
  126. The aliens love snowflakes

  127. No different than any other religion, better than some!

  128. If you work for corporate America you've already given yourself over to evil, you are possessed, utterly.
    1
  129. It is no more dangerous than any other drug and the only people suffering from the crackdown are legitimate patients who depend on opiates for pain relief!!
    1
  130. Mix Tang with instant tea mix and serve hot, yummy!
    1
  131. Watch "idiocracy" you'll understand.
    1
  132. There's all the hype over opiates but if used correctly and not abused they are probably the most safe drug next to marijuana. I know there's been 'evidence' to the contrary but I have personally known 70 year olds who were heroin users for 50 years, and I've known opium smokers that were some of the healthiest people I've ever met. I truly believe that moderation is key.
    1
  133. The next candidate for the Republican party!
    1
  134. My life would be wonderful! I'm A chronic pain patient and in 2016 they made up this opioid epidemic and cut ALL opioid prescriptions by 60% thanks to a man named Kolodny and sent the DEA after all doctors scaring the crap out of them. So now we suffer, millions if us who took our prescriptions safely and without deviation. If I could get the medicine I need to have a less painful life, my life would change immensely for the better.
    1
  135. Who is that guy kidding??!! "potential law enforcement targets" that will NEVER be investigated let alone face justice. These's guys are making a difference and are actually saving lives! Law enforcement has no problem targeting non violent drug users for everyone to vilify!! But when they expose these guys then it's oh my god their lives are endangered,. well who cares they're violent predators??!!! I call complete bullshit on law enforcement in this matter.
    1
  136. Awww young'ns, all parties should be outdoors.
    1
  137. If we "commoners" could get our act together and stop our petty bickering we could come together and change the world for the better. Funny how we are kept divided and conquered by our own stupidity while the ruling elite laugh themselves to power and the bank.
    1
  138. It is way past time to decriminalize ALL plants! The war on drugs was lost decades ago and in America we throw 300 billion A year of taxes at it making no sense. Love this town and it's definitely on my bucket list!!
    1
  139. This is what happens when they don't let us do the normal drugs!
    1
  140. Ball opens his mouth and crap comes out.
    1
  141. Don't stereotype, not all grandma's are maniacal.
    1
  142. Yes when you can't feed your family or pay rent even after working 2-3 jobs it's easy to see why they rob these shallow people.
    1
  143. What they do by choice my great grandparents did by necessity so I was raised self sufficiently, without the religious aspect. Or what I'd call "how you live when you've poor"
    1
  144. Well the 60 year old was a party promoter and it sounded like he got rich doing it so maybe there's an idea! We need a Keith Richards meets Boy George American style party promoter!! It would be a blast!
    1
  145. Sans beautiful
    1
  146. Heck yeah they're scared of us we're an elitist run war driven world!
    1
  147. It's one of the reasons the Government in 2016 through the CDC discontinued opiate medication for chronic pain patients who do not abuse it! It's criminal
    1
  148. Surprised? No. If you really want to go abroad and help, then go, find a place, live there and communicate with locals and when you find an opportunity to help follow through. Maybe you can buy a family a motorcycle or help an orphanage directly by working with a local whom you trust. Just be careful, Western laws do not apply and neither does shoving superiority in people's faces. Just like anywhere there are a lot of good people and some bad so speaking the language helps so does humility.
    1
  149. So this just keeps people willingly under the control of others. Forget taking responsibility for your own actions, this way not only is it some demon doing these bad things but the need someone else to eradicate it??? If we put this money into teaching real healing techniques maybe we would actually do some good. And he was right, they have to believe in the devil because without him there's no Christian God!!
    1
  150. Same thing is happening where I live, not so much The Village but just big money vs local lower middle class. I'd never seen a subdivision here until 15 years ago, NIW they're everywhere so sad. I'm moving in the next few years.
    1
  151. What kills me is there so many famous revered actors in America like Al Pacino Daniel Radcliffe Elijah wood Seth green Woody Allen and So many more! Yet these guys feel the need to subject themselves to this torture.
    1
  152. We all.gotta die of something, if that's how they want to go its their life!!
    1
  153. Vote blue because no rich Republicans will ever fight for your rights against a rich huge company!!
    1
  154. This is ALL politicians, Dems Republicans, Trump every single one does not care about "the people".

  156. Well the USA did this with our 2016 CDC "recommendations" for doctors prescribing pain medication so the gov could sue drug manufacturers for billions in revenue for the government. They knew how successful the tobacco lawsuit was and saw dollar signs! So many people have committed suicide or gone to illegal drugs or had to say they were addicts when they weren't. Even cancer and other horrible painful conditions not being adequately treated which is torture.

  157. No not even close. The US has MANY laws like "right to work" and no reason need be given in firing people, also no overtime has to be paid plus we do not have a NHS and most people have no health insurance and if they break a leg they'll be fired. Trust me America is worse.

  158. I know everyone will freak out at my comment but how is his choice of doing this any different than someone else's choice to do drugs? Both are dangerous each time you do it, both create endorphins and adrenaline surges, both have complex reasons behind them, and there's a lot more. I am not against either if an adult wants to do something that can potentially hurt them then that's their choice. As long as no one else is in danger of being killed by their actions.

  159. Just like alcohol, for every one person who consumes them and dies or abuses them there's 10000 people who use them without a problem. If we made all plants legal so much of this violence with gangs would stop.

  160. I don't care what people want to believe or who they want to give their money to but when they start trying to run my life the way they see fit based in THEIR beliefs I draw the line! Not to mention all the really REALLY bad people who call themselves "Godly" and AMAZING people who call themselves atheists it's proof that people are people and it comes down to live and let live, be a good person and stay the F out of politics!

  161. 3 things, 1, why do they need religion and sexism? Everything else about it is amazing. 2. If he says don't be superior to others, why do they make their women less superior to men, and third, if Trump can call himself president, then this guy can call himself jesus.

  164. Nothing wrong with celebrating beauty or intelligence, athletes etc but we need to take a wider view and look at the entire person as a whole. If a person is physically attractive but has a shallow ugly personality then check the off the list!!! Also everyone gets old so what will they have then? So sad what we have become, so enamored with power, greed, narcissism, no wonder we re killing ourselves by killing the planet and still we don't see the truth? Take a closer look at your own life, are you a good person, are you aware?

  166. I think sex working is like drugs, if made legal there would be a lot less criminal activity. With any "vice" like drinking, drugs, sex, gambling etc 99% of people will be safe and only do it occasionally for pleasure and like everything else there are those who are violent and will do their overloards. Look at any aspect of society, there are mostly good teachers, doctors, housewives you name it but there's always that 1% that are bad. Making things illegal not only doesn't stop bad people it promotes bad behavior by making the nonviolent act criminal and makes reporting it and solving it harder because the nature of making it all a criminal act.

  171. Spice only exists because cannabis is illegal. America doesn't have the spice problem the UK does directly because pot is legal in most states. Now heroin and fentanyl exist today because they made raw opium illegal. Time to decriminalize drugs and get rid of gangs and prisons resulting from the criminality of drugs.

  175. Hate to break it to him but your first kick is a cakewalk, and not until he's up to taking 50 to 100 a day does he have a deep habit. That said, hats off to him for even doing that and realizing he's 100% correct in his need to be where he is. But a side note, opiates are beneficial for some, just like any other "medicine", it's not the substance, it's the person on the substance, in the words of Hunter S. Thompson "you can turn your back on a person, but you can never turn your back on a drug..."

  186. I liked the angle, but your stats are wrong. If someone is stabbed while on drugs then it's "a drug related death"! Also there's a difference between a user and an abuser. Millions of people drink socially and legally without issues, but I guarantee if alcohol was made illegal we would have many more deaths. A lot of these deaths are caused by street drugs made with deadly chemicals and with widely varying amounts of the actual drug in them. The reason we (the U.S.) made alcohol legal again was because so many people were dying because their "street" alcohol was wood grain alcohol i.e. rubbing alcohol because it was cheap and easy to make, and the same thing is happening with drugs. I know I'll be vilified for saying this but drugs should be legal for adults. And don't say then kids will do more because as of right now kids are the only people who know where the drugs are. We are filling our prisons with nonviolent drug offenders and letting out the actual people we should be afraid of, not people we want to control. Some people fought the legalization of pot, and look not only are we not falling into anarchy but the states that did legalize it are making billions in taxes because of it!!

  187. I'm sorry but if society didn't have religions saying it was wrong, I don't think we'd have this. And btw you can be married and.have kids and be gay! God doesn't care, love is love and THAT'S what matters.

  188. When the sh*t hits the fan, the wealthy will be outnumbered a million to one. When people cannot feed, clothe, and shelter themselves and their families there will be a tipping point and we will have a bloody revolution. Look at the French revolution, Russian revolution, and even Britian! When you work your ass off and still cannot afford basic things you get desperate, remember this wealthy people!

He has and does nothing in his personal life that supports any of these or other alternative ways.

All have been denied adeqate pain medication it's Criminal what they're doing and it was only so they could sue the pharmaceutical company like they did the tobacco companies. Not only that but since 2016 prescriptions have been cut 60% yet overdoses have risen 50%!! Nothing good and more bad came from it!!

  221. THANK YOU! I'm A chronic pain patient with diagnosed illnesses and since the 2016 CDC BULLSHIT guidelines to combat the BULLSHIT opiate epidemic I've had my meds cut 75%. I went from having a life to daily suffering. I never sold, gave away or diverted my meds. My doctor died in late 2019 and no new doctor would take me unless I cut my meds drastically. It is criminal what they're doing to us and many more people die because the war on drugs, it's time for major changes.

So be took her question about the responsibility of being the spiritual guide of vulnerable people, meaning "are you taking advantage and charging out the butt a group of vulnerable people that would do and pay anything to get away from their pain". And he twists it into "yeah I feel vulnerable because there's crazy people out there and I could be in danger"?!! Wow!

  227. I really wonder if ants notice us beyond being a natural disaster? SETI uses mostly radio frequency identification, yet the ETs may not, so possibly that's why they're missing their "signal"? I can't prove what I've experienced, but I know I experienced it. To me it seems like the skeptic here was overly concerned about what other people think, which is about control and conformity, not actual experience.

  240. I think you get out what you put in and funnily enough with the belief of some Physicists believe in the law of attraction where you attract what your 'vibe' is. A problem today which is the same with festivals like Burning Man is it's gotten HUGE and corporate and not fun really. As usual the police can make things a lot worse but we can't police ourselves (wink, it's a big forest) Just always have your rules, don't get so Inebriated you can't take care of yourself, never leave your kids (including teens) with people you don't know and trust. Be respectful and leave if things or people are to confrontational like that women who freaked out about them filming (that's toxic behavior of a control freak with anger problems). Remember narcs are there too.
