RE: Mexican Cartels have the moral high ground over the U.S. and I am safe living around them. You are too.

Thanks for this unconventional post. I believe that if US citizens would not consume illegal drugs, there would not be Mexiccan cartels.

You are very welcome. Can I please add some knowledge to make your comment accurate. Humans will always use drugs whether they are illegal or not. It's not the use of drugs that produced the cartels. It's the prohibition of drugs that created the cartels and placed them in power. Legalize drugs and the cartels will evaporate. Does that make sense to you? I hope I explained it well enough for you to understand.

Yes! It makes a lot of sense.

Not true. Most of the US heroin comes from occupied Afghanistan. And do you think drugs are illegal for your protection? A friend I grew up with's dad used to run cocaine from South America. He got caught with 13 kilos of pure at his million dollar house. He spent one year in the infirmary at the prison, then went back to his million dollar house and kept on keepin on, but with a new boss. The DEA. Yes most drugs are bad when abused, but what your doctor perscribes is far more dangerous when taken correctly. Look at all the mass shootings, they have one thing in common, each and every mass shooter was on some kind of perscription for anxiety and depression. Those are legal drugs and they are rotting our society.

you wrote: "Those are legal drugs and they are rotting our society."
I disagree: The society has been rotted by improper government schooling in the area of History, Economics, Law, and Philosophy. Terrible patented molecules that have to compete on level playing field (a field that contains absolute freedom of speech) are simply out-competed immediately by safer, better alternatives. Want someone to blame for the death-dealing patented synthetic molecules pushed by licensed doctors? Blame the licensing of medicine, its separation from biological teaching, and the ~ten-year "begging for permission from the FDA" before any medical treatment can be marketed.

The turn-around time for medical cures is days or weeks, given even Narrow AI of "machine learning." ...But we're still in the primitive paradigm of "surplus order" or "surplus government." (As well as "untargeted or improperly-targeted government.")

Totalitarianism is the problem, not bad drugs. Only totally free information markets are good at deciding which drugs are optimal.

I highly recommend the following videos on proper medical treatment:

Stephen Badylak on regenerative medicine:

Kurzweil on medicine:


(Also HIGHLY recommend his book "Fantastic Voyage")


"Are people dying needlessly because of all these bureaucracies and rules? And what if we say fuck you, and do it anyway?" Josiah Zayner of the-odin.com on DIY CRISPR kits.
