All drugs should be legal and regulated. This is a part of bodily autonomy for all.

    When I was in art school it was cheaper to jump across the border into the US for art supplies, I bought a KG of marble dust (calcium carbonate), and it came in an unlabeled clear plastic bag. I was thinking if the border guards coming home stop me, I’m going to have some explaining.

      you’re missing out, if you cross the other border you don’t even need an unlabelled powder in a bag – a perceived slight or mistaken side eye is enough to get you strip/cavity searched and jailed indefinitely. lol

    I don’t know why the acceptable mainstream opinion of someone with a bag of powder or pills is that they automatically belong in prison.

      When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?

      Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?

      Will drug users ruin sober people’s lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?

      Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill in order to make sure everyone is high at all times?

      NO!

      Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists… that’s who. And we are not them

      Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.

      Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.

      Because most people are utterly incapable thinking for themselves and pants-pissingly afraid to try.
