Sorry to say it bro, but being a tax paying citizen in 2023 equates to funding war, pharma crime and corruption. It's no wonder so many people turn to drugs to escape the reality.
I'm with you. I've been trying to create a #nationaltaxboycott for a while, but no big names want to get behind it. Crazy we pay 25-40% of salary in taxes and sales tax and property tax while they continue to print trillions and tell us "it needs to happen" bastages man.
While all that is true...drug abuse has been around as long as drugs have
It's a weakness of personal will that sends most down that rabbit hole imo
Yes something might trigger that first taste but their weakness is what kept them there
Then you have abuse like Michael Jackson and Prince...
Weakness of personal will imo
Some can't seem to handle that free will thing very well..

You have to realize that some of these power drugs like Heroin have not been around and accessible like they are now, atleast in America before 1990 when we started dabbling in the middle east. It's really bad over there too. The issue is that one hit can instantly addict you and then you find yourself spending $300 a week on it. Things like DMT, THC, and Shrooms have been around for a while used by the native American population for a more spiritual connection. I feel if used correctly, could actually really help a lot of people. I experienced a rather spiritual awakening on DMT in college that completely changed my outlook on the natural world.
Now you say it's weakness or what have you. However it's part of the natural sense to experiment. Some of these drugs are too damn powerful and addict folks so hard that they cannot stop. It's more like a weapon than a drug. These types were not used until really the mid 80s when crack came, but it got way worse with heroin and meth, now fentenyl which I consider a chemical war attack on Americans and should be dealt as such. IMO throwing all "drugs" into a large box saying they are all bad is not right. Some people would be better off being able to go a place with friends under the supervision of doctors and be administerd DMT or Schrooms, then be forced to spend the night there. It would create a far better approach than just "don't do drugs because we said so" everyone knows kids break rules and don't always listen to adults, so doing them recreationally behind the parents/adults backs is what we see today. Unless the supply of these power drugs can be stopped, more and more will fall pray, even if they don't intend to. Children are weak minded in that sense and it's up to adults to make sure they don't fall pray. It's just that many teens are far more persuaded by peer pressure and accessibility to the drugs which makes the situation very difficult.
