🔥Temporary Solutions💉

Dear President Trump (@realDonaldTrump ) I write you on urgent behalf of thousands of Americans, now scheduled to die. The DEA ban on harm reduction supplements from the kratom plant like 7-OH is their death sentence. You are our best leader on drug policy (thank you - marijuana reform was long overdue - for rapidly delivering real results instead of hollow words like Joe Biden) and you are also the only person who currently can intervene to save all the innocent lives that hang in the ballance. It would be a tragic mistake to allow your legacy here to be tarnished by a misguided attempt doomed to fail, prompted by uninformed and misguided people who have not fully analyzed the reality that faces us. Virtually zero people have died from these products alone- they are remarkably safe! Tylenol unquestionably causes far more fatalities. While obviously doing drugs is widely considered bad, a holistic perspective is vital: banning a safe product used by millions to treat pain & cure worse addictions in the age of deadly fentanyl is utterly unconscionable. Overdose deaths are down right now, and that is truely amazing news. They need to go down so much more. The problem is that people taking 7-OH to improve their lives are suddenly facing a choice with two likely outcomes: 1 go to addiction medicine for suboxone or methadone, 2 go do crime drugs (some might convert to eating a pound of raw kratom a day or whatever, perhaps switch it up to heavy alcoholism, and I guess a very very very tiny number may go cold turkey sober, for as long as they can stand it.) Now there are a lot of things to be said about addiction medicine, but overall: they have a terrible success rate and countless issues- cost, work, relationship, & lifestyle impacts... in short: there are so many reasons to avoid healthcare overall, but especially here. So some people cut off from their previously legal options will choose illegal ones, and that is oh so very dangerous in the current environment. Obviously: some of them will die. This does not have to happen. You can save their lives. When we eventually achieve a "Fentanyl Free America" as the slogan goes, then ok sure, crack down on all the other stuff. Until that happens tho, we should focus on real problems that have obtainable solutions. Overdose deaths going up after a poorly thought out plant medicine ban would be a massive black eye for the MAGA agenda, an unforced error so easy to capitalize on politically. Nobody wants to see a grief stricken mother at a 28 rally on tv, sobbing profusely, all because her beautiful child -who was in recovery, finally getting his life back together- died... after someone banned the 7-OH he was using to defeat addiction. A disastrous decision, which led directly to him going back to fentanyl, and dying. A grim spectacle that will become all too real if you do not intervene. There is so much more to talk about here, and reviewing our nation's drug policy would be one of the best possible ways to celebrate 250 years of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Obviously I would cherish the opportunity discuss anything further, and thank you for your time, but in conclusion: Please, please, please: Hear from the millions of everyday Americans who know and care here, the people who will suffer the most. Be fully informed about all these and more issues before allowing this death sentence to be scheduled. There are so many good people, law abiding citizens, from all walks of life, who use -safely and responsibily use- these products to improve their everyday quality of life. You can get valuable insight from patriots who understand and disagree with the proposed 7-OH ban, like @mattgaetz for one - who would have made a fine Attorney General. Also @SenFettermanPA could perhaps be helpful too, working bipartisan to prevent these cruelly unnecessary deaths. He has long supported plant medicine & harm reduction. But you know, and you've always known: as you basically said back in the 90s: ~We have to provide legal options in order to truely defeat the cartels~ Thank you, 🇺🇸

@runaway_vol this is an increasingly worrysome tweet given recent key posting indicator shortcomings 😢

give a man a job and he can quit one day, give him an addictive personality and he can quit something every day

@xlr8harder the funny part is the edge cases. did u see the viral guy who got hospitalized running it hot before the magic vanished kek

hovering hand over a big switch that says "disable fable access" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

@KlonnyPin_Gosch they're all on fent or cool opioids and constipated af. its probably a +ev from all angles move

Dropping an explosive diarrhea bomb on a local old folks home in the midst of a cyclospora outbreak just so you don’t have to throw the stuff out yourself is a level of misanthropic laziness rarely witnessed

@iron_redux @Grimezsz seconded. what do you mean by "(some)" as the qualifier? pretty important

@TSBurkhardt honestly very curious to know if she includes Islam here @Grimezsz pls elaborate

you know people have said for years that grimes is really secretly smart, smart enough to impress elon musk (whatever that's meant to mean) and she's AGI pilled and wants to go to the stars, but like... like what is this dawg

@iron_redux @violetvariant i mean like factoring in banging out the temple priestess or slaves kinda throws a wrench in the gears lol. idk. but properly reframed i think her statement holds up.

@TSBurkhardt @violetvariant marriage was largely about social stabilty, producing heirs, the continuation of families... i don't think one needs religion or rather to attribute it to religion

@iron_redux most success was nuclear family based, even with takes a village expansion packs. and (some) religion seems to institute a you cant bang out your homies girl... that (some) of hers is so problematic lol

@TSBurkhardt Arguably they do the opposite, and family was such a necessary institution because of the material realities of life for most of civilised history.

@iron_redux @violetvariant just with the major monotheistic cultural blends having bastards was kinda frowned upon, and religious influence worked on both men and women (even if it was by having her male relatives do some murder over premaritals)

@TSBurkhardt @violetvariant Historically patriarchy has not really been bounded or limited by religion.

@violetvariant @iron_redux yes that's better put overall the successful religions basically instill the patriarchy having responsibilities

@iron_redux @TSBurkhardt what she said isn’t inconsistent with the husband being held to the family by religion? isn’t he the one that needs a reason to stick around?

the more you explore the dialogue tree in drug policy, the more you realize nobody actually believes in majority talking points there's so much room to radically explore new frontiers once you break the boring failure loops of tired tribalism and repetitive retarded redundancies

@iron_redux ig the (some) religions is pretty loadbearing. you either import the major winners or calculate all the losers into the math

@iron_redux like im not saying it was all roses, but successful long-term religions do tend to nurture family even if you might not love how they do it

@iron_redux i mean tho like from a pair bonding and you're stuck with them kids btw perspective it holds up pretty good. like being able to rule of thumb her for burning the biscuits didn't really change the material reality

@TSBurkhardt false. religion makes it harder to divorce sure but historically divorce was harder anyways.

@NateSilver538 lol running out of money is job number one in the attention economy political game. wait til the field is half influencers.and rich scammers in 28 you're gonna learn things

It's particularly "interesting" given that Platner's main opponent dropped out 40 days before the primary. If nothing else you might expect that to produce a relatively robust war chest/head start for the general election.

@DaphneB76234 lol i searched for grave dancing only to find you had already covered that on samh gg

bullies ALWAYS pull this card out at some point they can dish it but they cannot take it

@bathcat i have mixed feelings

@jonesjjlb @marwilliamson @unusual_whales yes! without work and life requirements leading to mandated sobriety attempts, a bunch of party it up while the robots handle stuff seems inevitable. this is a very interesting discussion too often ignored by the techbros in their worldbuilding. appreciate the realistic outlook

I would imagine the beginning stages of this cultural transformation will result in even more mass drug addiction, people won’t know what to do with themselves- we are already seeing it now due to our mass welfare state (people don’t need to work to survive- unlike India/China for example). Drug addicts will likely be segregated in their own nice mansions in the future and can do their own thing as long as they don’t abuse our friendly robots and law abiding citizens.

Elon Musk: AI+Robots will be able to do everything, resulting in universal high income. Work will be optional.

@goblinodds @btmlesspitsim @atlanticesque it is a really fun thought exercise no doubt, and appreciate the positivity. i just find the "suspending everything about how healthcare insurance actually works" preface hard to ignore.

@btmlesspitsim @TSBurkhardt @atlanticesque i love this idea

There is… an elixir… to help with this…..
