Been busy with life shit and work shit and just shit in general. The bummer is that it is keeps me from being all that busy around here. A day may come where I have little else to work on BUT this – and then y’all are really in trouble. Til then – rolling with quality over quantity in picking through recent pickings. I can’t ask you to “enjoy” any of this, and I wouldn’t ask you to suffer through it either. How bout you just muddle through like I do!
- We are approaching the end game.
- This is interesting.
- The busybodying during COVID is epic and scary.
- I don’t know if this stuff works or doesn’t work – but I am convinced no one actually knows and whoever wants to use this narrative to push their own agenda.
- The good congresswoman doesn’t mention anywhere in her heartfelt plan as to whether she will commit to abstaining from all opiate use the same way she is imposing on everyone else. Then again, she will never be refused anything she wants – so why bother amirite?
- The motive for this research is a little muddy – but they do go in for more FUD around Rx opiates, so I suspect it is more general FUD.
- The DEA has created a black market far more dangerous than any of the illegal substances would be if they were legalized and regulated. We are being very very selective about who gets put in a cage for participating in that market.
- The politicians and drug warriors will never have to taper. They leave that to you.
- We had a war on drugs. the drugs won. no parades for the losing warriors when they return please…they started the war after all.
- The drug warriors haven’t even won a battle as far as I can see. Why do we keep arming them?
- I love a good polemic.
- I think this kind of thing is called news even though everyone already knows it.
- No one pushing drug prohibition is serious about solving any opiate crisis. The black market created by the drug war is the crisis. Opiates save lives. Black market opiates take them. The COVID spin is just more woo-woo.
- Everyone in our country has some idea of at least one agency that should be removed from earth. Mine is the DEA. There is simply no aspect of our lives made better by its existence. Glad I am not alone.
- I think we know how these will turn out.
