@TransformDrugs @DrugPolicyNerds @IDPCnet @DrugPolicyOrg @SafeAccess @ParabolaCenter @d4dprorg @PoliceForReform @uscfcr "With respect to controlling the extent of marijuana use, the present policies have obviously been unsuccessful..." 👇👇🏿👇🏽👇🏻👇🏾⬇️🔻🔽\/ "Regulate the sale of marijuana in the manner of alcohol controls." - U.S. Department of Justice (1971)

When the government bans something, they also ban the demand for that thing. That “thing” magically disappears and anyone previously using that “thing” stops, and does something virtuous instead. From my upcoming book “How The Government Thinks Bans Work”

Prohibition doesn’t stop drugs or crime, it CREATES crime because only criminals control the manufacturing, supply & marketplace, and it only makes drugs into the strongest and deadliest concentrations for efficiency & effects. Think Fentanyl instead of heroin. There’s no single policy change that could save more lives, more money, benefit more countries, almost immediately, than the legalization & regulation of all classes of drugs. Aren’t they dangerous? Yes, but no more dangerous than the legal drugs, and almost ALL the dangers could & would be mitigated with a regulated, legal system. Will there still be overdose deaths if we legalized drugs? Yes, just as there are still many deaths from alcohol & tobacco use. But we don’t prohibit those substances, instead we use regulation to make them as safe as possible and only available to adults, and the second key is education. The key isn’t prohibition, the main key is education. Look at tobacco, there was a time that cigarettes were promoted to such an extent that zippo lighters were standard G.I. Issue and smoking was at an almost 50% population wide usage and a societal commonplace. Now a recent high school drug survey had, as a percentage, more cannabis smokers than tobacco for the first time ever, and smoking of tobacco cigarettes has gone down every year for thirty years straight. We didn’t accomplish the downward trend by prohibiting tobacco, we did it through education and safer methods to obtain nicotine. Education and packets, snuff & vaping has cut down on smoking while still allowing nicotine. Prohibition doesn’t work, safer methods of using nicotine and education does. Prohibition doesn’t make drugs or their problems go away, it only makes everything worse. Prohibition doesn’t mean the banned substance goes away, but it does make everything more dangerous.

They think like the fantasy land idiots they are. They have programmed American sheeple into thinking the drug war has magically eliminated coke & heroin and all other drugs from streets, and most illicit fentanyl is captured in drug busts by heroes @ dea and fbi. 🐏🐏

@Greenthumb_one Its ironic to ban something for its effects on people if there is no medical use. That implies its ineffective. Than why are people buying it?

Sounds. Familiar. 🌱⚖️⚕️👀 #ksleg #ksgov

@StateAffairsKS ⚠️KS🆘 Where we get told #ksleg doesn't understand evidence based drug policy & harm reduction without telling us they don't understand drug policy or harm reduction. No, we get tax-funded increases to societal risk, violated rights & underground markets. kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/me…

Come July, 7-OH kratom and related kratom-derived products will be classified as Schedule I drugs in Kansas — meaning they would be deemed as having no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. #kspol #ksleg pro.stateaffairs.com/ks/politics/7-…

Kansas. Where corruption runs rampant & corporations ban plants to capture markets, because ideology-driven prohibition bias is favored by irrational minds. Our 'Free State' may be disguised as a police state, but the Wizard can't hide behind a curtain forever. #adastraperaspera

@CatoInstitute @bdank88 @dr4liberty Kansas just did it. #ksleg

Arizona’s HB 2415 would effectively ban 7‑OH products based on rare overdose reports—often involving multiple substances. That could push chronic pain patients to black markets or fentanyl-laced opioids. Regulate potency & labeling, don’t prohibit painkillers, says @dr4liberty. ow.ly/gvhb50YH9hX

@Mountainman1723 'accidentally' or intentionally without knowing or resolving real impacts? Let me just say those of us who have been observing from the beginning knew what was happening all along, warned about it & are now the ones most affected by elected officials not learning lessons. #ksleg

The Farm Bill was supposed to legalize hemp fiber and seed oil. Instead it accidentally created a $28 billion unregulated psychoactive cannabis market sold at gas stations with zero testing & no age gates $MSOS $CNBS $CWBHF cannanews.io/article/hemp-l…

@drmicheleross It definitely follows given who helped ban cannabis here in the first place... x.com/i/status/16180… Thank you for the continued due diligence & support, Dr. Ross.

Kansas is about to ban kratom but has no problem running a mitragynine trial for pharma. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07204… Same plant. Same alkaloid. This is like making cannabis illegal while approving Marinol. Or banning CBD while selling Epidiolex. It doesn’t protect people. It just makes it unaffordable.
