  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

  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!

  6. You are absolutely correct!

  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.

  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.

  9. Yeah, we're all still waiting for the "trickle down"! What a joke

  10. That's because you're not a misogynistic narcissistic sociopath!! Thank you!!

  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. Ahh, another wonderful product of our prison system. These guys are great, hope they can help others too.

  13. Yes but a lot of people who watch Vice are young and have no clue about this stuff.

  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?

  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.

  20. Anonymous needs to hit this company.

  22. I can't grow 50 poppies in my garden but these monsters can get away with these atrocities?! Yeah right

  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!

  24. Yes he quit right when his next choice to go on would've meant the "drugs" in sex, drugs and rock and roll!

  25. Importantly remember they could've ridden all the way from the beginning in an RV!!

  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

  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!!

  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"

  29. Like the kkk?

  31. Our drug laws have done much more harm than good! I hope those kids are doing good today.

  32. Throw a person in prison for choosing to do drugs, guy kills thousands by out pricing?

  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!

  34. Omg I almost fell off my chair when he asks the doctor "man, have you tried this"?

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  39. VERY good question! We need to have an answer that is not crap.

  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!!

  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.

  43. What about tax evasion? If he's not a federally recognized church and doesn't have tax exempt status then he's screwed

  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!

  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!

  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!

  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.

  48. Yes and who would support rich companies over the average hard working American? Hmmm rhymes with Pibublican

  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????

  50. Funny how the drugs that most open your mind are the most punishable? Right no agenda there?
