Fucking repukes...

To which I amend it only to say, Fucking RACIST repukes! The whole "war on drugs" was started by Nixon because he was so insanely racist, and though this was the way to get rid of black people... throw them in jail for drugs.

Funny, how that went. People want relief... from pain, from anxiety, from just plain old real life sometimes. What and how we do that is right now for many of us dominated by Big Pharma. We can take all kinds of addictive pills... even when they're not called that. They scream about me taking my hydrocodone for chronic, intense pain... but say nothing about the fenlafaxine I'm on. Though, to titrate off that SSRI drug safely would take 10 years!

How much easier and more pleasant would it be to simply smoke a joint and call it good. (SMDH)
