The right to repair your body needs to be codified into law, because human rights are supreme. Things don't have to suck. We can fix them. So let's do that.

Dear blue sky. I live in a police state. ID laws are dangerous to my health.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

That's awful. Hope you feel better.

I wish so much, that today we had these kinds of heroes.
None of these Fentanyl poisoning deaths need to happen.
This is all an artificial manmade problem.
We must repeal the Controlled Substances Act.

For a stronger fairer society sell all drugs just like alcohol.
Far too many have died from drug poisonings.
It's a policy choice to make your neighbors buy only from gangsters.

A person being loaded into a meat wagon by a couple of EMT.
The text says When the doctors refuse to prescribe, what will you do? Protect yourself now. Sell all drugs just like alcohol.

Not enough people ask this question.
People would understand why drug cartels exist if they did.

No, no he's not. Do you know how much fuel it costs to drive those carriers and ships around fighting a futile war against drug users?
He has absolutely no problem destroying the planet.

The flaw with their thinking is that nothing is being done to address demand for these substances.
Supply side only enforcement will never work. They should have read some pages from alcohol prohibition's history.
Just wasting money and lives.
Everything needs to be legalized and regulated.

Anti-drug policy directly affects doctors' prescribing numbers. Whether they do it intentionally or not the consequences are the same.
Biased science means biased studies which means bad data.

You can have drug discrimination, or you can have factual "evidence-based medicine," but not both.

Drug harm chart. 7-OH sits 4th, near the bottom of the list. Unregulated Drugs sits at the very top of the list.

With Florida's ban on 7-OH they are effectively moving it from barely registering to maximum damage.
Good bye independent 3rd party lab testing, known dosages, and instructions.
Hello gangsters and things like Fentanyl in the supply.

Market regulation was clearly the better option.
Shame.

Have you seen this petition yet? URGENT: STOP A NATIONAL 7-OH BAN & PROTECT CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS

Here is a petition to keep 7-oh users decriminalized if you would like to sign it. The reality is that this the only option a lot of people have before they are venturing into the unregulated supply. This prevents Fentanyl poisoning.

Your murderous drug dealer joke flopped, because half of the population is buying their healthcare from drug dealers. The real murderers are the politicians who mandate this policy. It's kicking down on less fortunate.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Remember they only study things they're trying to destroy or kill, as exampled by the history. Like when people talk about "fighting addiction" they're killing drug users.

This video is from the Krome ICE detention center in Miami. He’s saying that they’re essentially kidnapped. You can see how overcrowded it is, and other reports have stated that the detainees are denied adequate water.

The multidistrict litigators are running the same scam they ran against Purdue and opioid users on the food industry now. Remember they created the "Fentanyl" crisis that has claimed so many lives. People with specific dietary requirements will die if they succeed in their new prohibitions.

They're trying to create a "stimulant crisis" the way they did to opioids so they can add more bodies to the prohibition pile.

What's tragic about this is that it does nothing to stop unregulated drug deaths.
Even if 100% of Fentanyl were removed from space and time people would still be dying because the drug supply is unpredictable.
Upwards of 90% of the deaths are preventable by regulating all drug use like alcohol.

Every single problem could be ended today if all drug use were regulated just like alcohol. Remember that. Everything else is pure noise.

Yes, but ultimately drug prohibitions are the cause of all of these problems. There are some similarities too, in the way that prohibitionists, cops, and addiction for-profit rehabs scam people, and the rhetoric used to justify oppression.

How the UCP covered up police violence against the U of C Palestine encampment The Orchard has obtained hundreds of pages of correspondence from the university's executive leadership team, campus security, Calgary police and the provincial government. Part II of II.

Big scoop following up on @readtheorchard.org's bombshell just went to Paid subscribers.

It shows destruction of legally relevant documents by UofC security executives. It will be open access tomorrow AM.

Meantime, make sure you've read Jeremy's ASIRT cover-up!!

I concur with the drug supply volatility explanation.
People didn't stop using drugs, and there are no new legal drug stores or bars.

Like there's no such thing as an illegal drug. They all have uses.
What's happening is the government criminalizes people when they try to repair their body, and doctors refuse to provide services they need. That's the war on drugs.
