i listen to what politicians and the government say a lot. i’ve voted conservative all my life and if you don’t like that then cancel out my vote by voting for someone else. i don’t like airing my political views these days because nine times out of ten you’re not going to change anyone’s opinion with whatever you have studied, whatever you know, whatever you predict, nor what you believe [in]
if you turn on your television to the right channel, you can see all the politicians left and right – talking about boosting police powers and sending the right message. you can go out in an evening, as most of my fans are going to do over the next few nights, and if you want to fuck your life up with the cirrhosis of the liver or whatever – the information is there, we’re not limited to getting our facts from print or on television [yeah i know] any more. moreover, we have evolved as a species to quickly determine established scientific fact from metaphyction. still haven’t gotten over our obsession with droning american narratives turning an online video about how to use cable ties properly over 3 posts for an hour and a half a pop – but we know when to cut the attention span off when you hear the “hey guys me again with a new video about …. *fuck off*” so i’m going to hit you with some realities now that you might not have known about because you were paying attention to some other shit and advertisements still appear frequently in your life
balloons
nitrous oxide has been used by pregnant people in labour and dentists [they never give me anything when i was having one of my front teeth ripped out, but i went private so it would probably have been dear as folk] right …
the way that honourable members and noble lords alike discuss the topic of recreational use of nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas” [i have never actually heard someone refer to it casually as laughing gas, in any context of casual conversation, except when referring to what it is “commonly known as” … nothing wrong with that] it reminds me of the tragic story of leah betts. millenial minds will not be aware of that story … so i will summarise. in 1995, a girl called leah betts consumed some MDMA upon the event of her eighteenth birthday. the advice that she was given in order to ‘stay safe’ with this class A phenethylamine was to, while she enjoyed herself by the wonderful feeling of the inhibited synaptic reuptake of serotonin, “stay hydrated.” tragically, during the period of about 2 hours iirc, the harm reduction advice of staying hydrated was abided by with the consumption of litres and litres of water in such a short space of time – which caused swelling of the brain and death from water poisoning
since the anti-drug lobby are so driven by emotional, biased, anecdotal motives … then they ought to swallow the macabre irony of their sensationalist interference with the general enjoyment of what should have been an exciting milestone in someone’s life, in the form of this example. with all the consideration and sensitivity of barrymore’s fist slowly forcing its way into the nation’s rectum, the go-ahead was given to use her dead body on the front page of a leading tabloid newspaper – selling newspapers – as a misleading example of the devastation which the consumption of a class A drug will inevitably, because the newspaper said so, cause. to this day, members of the public look back on this girl’s name a warning to the rest of us what will happen to your children if they dare acquire and consume ‘ecstasy’ … an headline immortalised, the fact of the matter lost in the depracating speculative of history.
nitrous oxide is available in tiny little canisters, and now they are being added in an amendment by a failed piece of 50-odd year old legislation that was created to separate scientific facts from government policy called the misuse of drugs act 1971. firstly, every government since this primary legislation was enacted have come out with a bonfire of peer-reviewed evidence that we need to move to a structure of harm reduction, instead of prohibition – which is the reason that drugs destroy people’s lives, ironically – people want to take drugs whether you are sickened by the sight of a few whipped cream canisters when you’re out walking your dog to the nearby swinger party in the car park next to the woods, or you have nommed a few boxes of balloons yourself back int’ day
people are getting nerve damage and wrecking their internal organs because the only way that the public can access nitrous oxide is by holding their breath for five minutes a pop, keeping in this tiny little piece of gas that is usually contaminated with industrial lubricants – simulating breathing by using a balloon to keep the gases internalised and thus cutting off the supply of oxygen being ingested via the lungs. the fact that people have to do this with a balloon just to get their kicks with their friends or to sharpen up a bit of mandy on a night out is what’s wrong with drugs and drug policy in this country
sending a message
after all these years, the toll that drugs policy has taken on people’s lives is even starting to show in the politicians – ever since the famous sacking of Professor David Nutt from the advisory council on the misuse of drugs [the team prescribed by the 1971 act] in 2009 because his peer reviewed empirical data found that MDMA is about as dangerous as equestrian, and compared the harms from horse riding to the harms from drugs. the home secretary then Labour Alan Johnson sacked that nice man, who really knows his shit and saw this ridiculous policy war including the thousands of scientific recommendations to decriminalise drugs and focus on the reduction of harm instead of arresting people for just doing what they want to their own bodies – and they will do it one way or another, with or without our help – with the risk of ruining lives [because when they have another ‘crack down’ that’s the actual thing that does the ruining of those lives] when the only thing that ought to be ruining lives forever [with a bit of luck] should be men in red woolen shirts as they get their incredible kicks from things that he’ll never know
fucking people over because of the basic supply and demand of the dopamine, serotonin, GABA A, endocannabinoid receptors – something that’s been going on with alcohol and tobacco since long before we got here – IS the problem. so the more we try and ruin people’s lives to stop people from ruining people’s lives, the problem increases exponentially and, if any politician is watching, even the police think you’re pissing in the wind – they are just trying to do as they’re told so they don’t lose their job. when an MP stands up in the commons and says that they’re going to send a message to [sales force catering for persistent demand] even the other MPs don’t believe in that shit any more. get your head down, you’re making a fool of yourself now. tax and regulate drugs, and let patients choose NICE guidelines approved medications without having to fuck around trying to ask their doctor for the medicine they want in the right way. and doctors … shipman is dead. get over it. you’re not going to lose your practice. just let patients who know more than anyone whatever works with their own suffering request the medication that they want
medication is supposed to make patients feel better, right? it is not a co-incidence that the classic illegal drugs are (a) still used by doctors in hospitals and are on the UN list of essential medicines (b) all used to be medication until some fucking idiots decided to ‘nudge’ you out of prescribing them by making a fake atmosphere at work that you are under more scrutiny than you actually are (c) something that a patient should be able to pick with or without your opinion getting in the way of treatment because you don’t think that something which was designed, developed, trialled, tested, and licenced for what your patient is suffering from (d) make people feel better, like they were supposed to
stop stamping down on patients and recreational users. we have a cost of living crisis? marketing and economic research has proven for over a century that things like narcotics, stimulants, tobacco, alcohol, nitrous oxide use persists [even increases] i think the correct term in the industry is ‘inelastic’ or something like that – through difficult economic times such as trying to strangle [see what i did there] the biggest country in the world‘s economy, calling for elimination of carbon emissions while at the same time advocating for the genocide of an entire country just because of the person who runs it
hypocrisy
yeah sometimes i’m quite the hypocrite. actually … no i’m not. i just re-visit things and build upon the opinion that i already have, whether or not it is as ethically malleable as your hypocrisy or double standards are. however, i’m not now nor never have hurt anyone. the things that i get up to aren’t killing people in little rubber dinghies across the channel, nor are they contributing to it. that’s other countries with proper criminals, not political prisoners who are on life licence because they won’t quash the IPPs – people on life licence for nothing – another Labour policy that left thousands of people [most of them by suicide] recklessly in its wake
empathy
in the 1960s, marriage counselors, couple’s therapy, was conducted over the course of a two+ hour session; at the same time that single mothers were having their newborn children snatched away from them for having the audacity to get raped, married couples who did deserve to have the [same] children would turn up for their appointment. good, upstanding, matrimonious people who loved one another- no matter how much society would want them to burn in hell should they ever get divorced; well just the wife, not both of them. they would turn up to this session to try and overcome their difficulties such as being estranged from one another, adultery, or any other outrageous things that if aired in public could annihilate their dignity and cause them to get snubbed by their extended family and all of their friends
to kick the session off, husband and wife were each given a capsule of medication specifically for the therapy, which was known colloquially of empathy. they would get on with it led by a counselor as they had plenty of time for their talking to kick in and reach the point of contention what led them to elect this therapy to begin with; where suddenly they would start to wonder what the big deal was in the first place. they loved each other, and in one another’s arms it felt so comfortable and they couldn’t be more right for each other. this saved so many relationships between people that any other type of treatment in history could ever be carefully scribbled out from realisation or sight, solidified so many marriages, rekindled more flames that one could hope to spark in this day and age where all we get for our trouble is paroxetine and swipe-to-fuck apps on your mobile device. ’empathy’ had a proper name. let’s see if i can remember it all: methylenedioxymethylamphetamine, or MDMA, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor
it didn’t kill anybody or turn them into violent, brotheleering, people trafficking savages. nobody extracting precursors and synthesising it from the roots and the oil of sassafras. actually, and this was the real version of root beer – only now a novel taste in this part of the world, whether or not one things it tastes like something called “germaline.” and looking at the bigger picture, most of the medications which were around back then for all sorts of common conditions that we know so much more about now, could be freely obtained from your local pharmacy and [ironically] temperance bars up and down the country. now all of them are illegal, and doctors too afraid to give any patient something which actually works, are handing out shit not-nearly-as-effective versions of these treatments. marketed on the fact that they don’t cause euphoria. in relative terms, the basis that the medication doesn’t make you “feel” better.
pathetically, all of these are both on the UN single convention on criminalising and prohibiting psychotropic substances, and the UN protective list of essential medicines. moronically, the media-driven sensationalism of one or two countries’ foreign policy has sprouted black markets to meet this demand that has persisted for millennia, and will persist some more, long after we are gone
opting out of their arbitrary, self-contradicting, dangerously harmful, anecdotal, imposition
if you don’t do drugs or hedonism of any kind, then give over with your fucking opinion. if you don’t like the canisters, don’t look at them. if you do, learn to spot a live canister from 100 paces and come and bring them to me. people are suffocating themselves just to get around your shitty rules, establishment. do something about it. make some regulated markets. make some severe tax income so we can strangle the real black market – or more like annihilate it overnight – and stop hurting people who are fortunate enough to work for a living
the war on drugs is over. pockets of resistance are coming to the end of their lives now and thank fuck for that. let’s extinguish this ridiculous policy and make some serious money. bring high-skilled career criminals into the legal light and watch people who have had to fool the old guard to make a living, and truly reveal some of the best criminals the world has to offer – british boys on the world stage. now, what would be wrong with that?
i know. a tapped individual tapping on about an untapped breakthrough that will revolutionise our economy and restore faith in law enforcement automatically. letting people do something that isn’t hurting anyone else doesn’t mean you are “sending the wrong message” … nobody is listening for a message. it just means that this is still a free country and the word free will mean something once again
grow up you cunts
