This reminded me about year 2000 or so when we seemingly did not have any (relatively) serious problems and so our tax money was spent on stuff like this
Im gonna smoke weed even harder.
Warning: avoiding marijuana can lead to unnecessary stress.
im from the future.
it did not work out like they hoped
I believe you.
I believe you.
Can’t wait for the epic memes promoting weed
zack morris told me theres no hope with dope right before he narced on a nice guy for responsibly doing weed in his own house and then drove drunk and lied about it to his dad though
🎶Zack Morris is trash🎶
Next, these people are going to start going after heavy metal and rap music again.
Heavy Metal and Rap Music? They hurdled right over and landed on Any Amount of Dancing and Suffragettes.
Cannabis will never be as harmful as alcohol. This really outlines their intentions and how little they actually care about harm to children.
Where are the DOGE bros for this government waste?
Nope sorry the best Trump can do is pardon a single drug dealer. The Libertarians must be thrilled at their art of the deal.
I’d be flooding Instagram with pro-420 Day memes, if I had an account.
i dont even smoke weed but this anti 420 day is making me want to start tbh
Refer Madness is a fun video to watch and only gets funner after you’ve smoked a bowl.
All of those 1950 -1970s Public service announcement things are hilarious, they go so hardcore in their visuals, there’s a British one about not touching electricity transformers or something like along those lines that goes hard.
Beware the DEA kids. They knew about all the oxy all along. They knew about all the hydro. They knew every single major shipment going to Florida, Kentucky and wherever else this whole time. They knew about the opioid epidemic and they rubber stamped every shipment and quota request for the people making the drugs.
Goddamned right, our government threw its own citizens under the bus so pharmaceutical companies could make another billion. Then imprisoned the people who got addicted.
they rubber stamped every shipment and quota request for the people making the drugs.
I don’t have trouble believing this could be the case, but can you link some evidence?
So I’m out of the business now and quota guidelines have changed to a quarterly system (?) so i could be talking out my ass.
Rubber stamped might be over stating but shipment reports from registered manufacturers are reported, audited and archived for a long time. Records of shipments are constantly monitored between the distribution centers. How much active ingredient was also explicitly decided by the DEA iirc. So if a manufacturer needed to increase it’s output of a schedule 2 narcotic by a significant amount it must request the additional quota and it then goes through an approval process.
To go a step further and show just how significant quota is let me give you an example:
You have a shipment of product ready to go. Certificates of Exceptions/Assay/whatever paperwork you need to release. It’s been transitioned to the distribution center. You then find something that impacts that material and it needs to come back to the manufacturing (gmp) area. Once that comes back into the facility and then leaves again it will count against your quota. If 100kg of active leaves twice it’s 200kg as far as the DEA is concerned and you will have to destroy the left over 100kg you were provided and did not use.
I would like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs
The website of this group has a memorial page. Basically it’s a whole lot of suicides - and cannabis is to blame?
Parental neglect is probably more the reason for these “concerned mothers” to lash out on society, instead of seeing that largely the reason why people end up like that is stemming from a broken home.
Similarly to how mothers against vaccines blame their child’s autism on the medical industry, when we know autism can stem from trauma during childrearing or in the child’s formative years.
Ofc there’s always a scapegoat.
You got a source on autism coming from trauma etc.? I’m autistic myself and have never heard of autism not already being present at birth.
No he doesn’t because trauma, aka emetional or mental distress caused by experience have nothing to do with it.

Few would dispute that the causes of ASD include both genetic and environmental factors. Indeed, more than 100 genes are known to confer risk1,2 and 1,000 or more may ultimately be identified.3 A wide range of potential environmental challenges have also been associated with autism, although studies in this area lag behind genomics research. A short overview of data supports genetic and environmental contributions to ASD etiology. A focus on prenatal events will hopefully clarify that the cause of autism, in the vast majority of cases, occurs prenatally, even if behavioral signs first appear several years after birth.

ASD is a heterogeneous disorder, both etiologically and in terms of clinical presentation, and individuals with ASD demonstrate a wide spectrum of abilities and challenges. While the etiology of ASD is complex and still remains largely unknown, this condition is likely the result of the interactive effects of genetic and environmental risk factors (Lai et al. 2014; Schaefer 2016; Tchaconas and Adesman 2013). ASD is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, with a high concordance rate among monozygotic twins (Bailey et al. 1995) and an increased risk of sibling recurrence (Ozonoff et al. 2011; Risch et al. 2014). ASD is largely not a single-gene disorder. Rather, there are likely hundreds of genes that contribute to its etiology (Gilman et al. 2011; Levy et al. 2011). A number of environmental factors, particularly during the prenatal period, also present an increased risk for ASD including maternal diabetes, infection, fever, and inflammation (Ornoy et al. 2015); maternal asthma and allergies (Croen et al. 2005); the use of certain drugs during pregnancy (Croen et al. 2011; Gidaya et al. 2016;), extreme prematurity (Johnson et al. 2010), and maternal exposure to air pollution (Raz et al. 2015; Volk et al. 2013). Advanced parental age (Idring et al. 2014) has also been associated with an increased risk of ASD.
Tl,dr; genetics and prenatal disposition are the only known causes.
What i think op describe is more likely the masking autistic people do which is a defense mechanism they use after living traumatic event.
Thanks for th write up! It was very helpful, I was feeling super off about it because, like I said, im autistic, and I do also have some complex trauma. It was especially upsetting because my autism is literally what I am. It’s important to my identity in a similar way and as much as my gender identity, for example. And trauma is something purely negative that I wish I wouldn’t have gone through.
What does kind of make sense though is how trauma can exacerbate symptoms, such as being easily overwhelmed with seemingly innocuous situations.
No problem i kinda understand how you feel my SO got her diagnostic 2 yrs ago and it’s been constant research since. Keep it up and continue questionning everything, no one has ever been harmed by a question. Much love from canada 👋
Very good attitude! You sound like a great and supportive spouse. I’m lucky to have a partner like that, too. Love back from Switzerland ✨
Your casual lawbreaking will be used against you.
This is exactly what had me scared straight for the longest time. It’s not the drug, it’s the system that punishes use of the drug that’s the real threat.
The fact that ex-convicts (people that have paid their debt to society) aren’t a protected class in the hiring process is beyond me. At least insofar as non-violent offenses go, there’s no cause to throw someone away like this. This goes especially considering the current state of political affairs around here.
“Corrective Rape” as a trope within the American prison system is probably the darkest part of this cartoon.
If you smoke enough marijuana you can hear all the complicated stuff drummer Jeff Porcaro isn’t playing on the song Africa by Toto.
