It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

I'm starting to think this Trump guy is up to no good.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

I've been banned from facebook and twitter because I run the only psychedelic storefront in the world that openly sells shrooms, LSD, DMT, 2CB and more, located in Vancouver Canada. Follow me before I get banned here too!

I see it. Drugs should be legalized, and I mean all.

The global "drug war" is at the core of so many of the world's problems. I wish more people could see that.

The 2028 Democratic ticket should be Alex Soros and Hunter Biden.

No matter how much police budgets increase they always go over budget every year.

The drug war causes and worsens every single one of the problems it claims to solve.

Hunter Biden 2028

Way more people should be using marijuana.

I'll be in CBC shortly to defend the cannabis leaf as the ultimate symbol of BC. What do you think BC's ultimate symbol should be? www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Seriously considering a run for leadership of Canada's NDP.

again, Canada should legalize and regulate all currently prohibited drugs. we should control the supply chain by creating a new crown corporation to manufacture and distribute drugs to government-owned retail outlets and provincially licensed consumption spaces. regulate drugs.

Near record of 105 samples analyzed yesterday at both Get Your Drugs Tested sites! All paid for by our cannabis and shroom sales with zero government funding! getyourdrugstested.com

NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George was a tyrant. How many of those now apply to Donald Trump? Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Acid Dialectics' by Vincent Rado - a very engaging and thoughtful book. Our review is available here: psychedelicpress.substack.com/p/lsd-and-st...

The Alberta Recovery Model is a scam that tricks media with false data and coerces its subjects into false belief of progress and control.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Growing up, I didn’t find the Emperor’s New Clothes story very believable but now as an adult I live that shit every single day in this country and it fucking sucks.

the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

I'd vote for this as our new Canadian flag, except it would look even better with a cannabis leaf in the middle.

You may not like it but this is what 2 high agency males look like

Remember, it's okay to punch nazis.

Hey @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com post How about “Trump Posts Unhinged Rant on Memorial Day, Attacking Biden, Judges, Immigrants and Democrats-Further Demonstrating His Cognitive Decline” Or do you just intend to sane wash us all the way into tyranny

I know several cannabis activists and weed lovers who supported Trump because they thought he would end the federal cannabis prohibition.

The unlicensed cannabis industry is grateful for these high taxes and fees that keep us in business.

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

My drug war memoir / manifesto is avail everywhere. Its hard to punch thru the noise of a federal election, but this is exactly the time to read it - esp the chapter on the rise of the Canadian far right & moral panic against harm reduction. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/700597...

"...we believe that there is a real risk of epistemic erasure with the loss of cannabis compassion clubs & medical dispensaries... it is important to document what made cannabis compassion clubs and medical dispensaries so effective, impactful and innovative before legalization."

Amazing turnout for the global harm reduction conference #hr25 here in Bogota. Always inspiring to be reminded that our drug peace movement is truly global. So many great people here!

I'm giving away 70% of my book collection. Come by 651 E Hastings alley April 24 from 12-5pm and get some great books! Plus a bunch of other stuff too.

Mostly friendly chats with the VPD and Community Safety Unit officers. I told them all there was way too many police here for this small event. CSU intimidates anyone who tried to sell cannabis. Will there ever be a massive 420 in Vancouver again?

More cops at 420 getting overtime to watch a small crowd smoke weed.

Selfies with cops at 420 in Vancouver. Very small event today, 20+ cops for under 100 people.

Happy 420 everyone!

Grievances 16-19 in Declaration of Independence 16. "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" 17. "For imposing taxes on us without our consent" 18. "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial" 19. "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

If addiction to video games is essentially the same as addiction to heroin, then why aren't video games criminalized in the same way? If it's completely different, then why do the same places offer treatment for both kinds of "addiction"?

Is being "addicted " to video games basically the same thing as being "addicted" to opiates? Or is it fundamentally a different thing?

If we're going to have a billionaire running the government I would prefer it was George Soros.

So many of the world's problems would be instantly and dramatically improved if we just ended the global drug war.

The prevalence of fentanyl is caused by prohibition itself. More prohibition will result in stronger drugs than fentanyl. The drug war itself causes and worsens all the problems it claims to prevent.

Wild coincidence that dictators are also supernaturally skilled golf champions.

Canadians agree that legalizing cannabis was Trudeau's greatest accomplishment.
