Comment: Prohibition is killing 20 Canadians every day
  • At some time we have to shed the misguided Nixon era belief that drugs are a legal problem, and not a public health problem. The war on drugs has produced nothing but losers on every single front. Addicts don’t get the help they need. An underground market thrives like crazy at the cost of human lives. Tax payers pay out hundreds of billions over the years in tracking, enforcement, and incarceration, all yielding zero net gains. people are going to prison for life on a 3-strikes violation because they got caught with a dime bag of dope. The entire thing is an absolute clusterfuck and waste of money.

  • B.C. Supreme Court pauses legislation banning drug consumption in public spaces, citing 'irreparable harm'
  • She says she hopes the revised legislation will "strike that balance between addressing problematic public consumption but also ensuring that people who use drugs in our communities are safe and are able to do so in places where they're not alone."

    Then put it in the legislation to build safe sites. The wording of the legislation as it currently stands essentially bans use from anywhere; an out-of-site-out-of-mind approach. It is a poor approach to a public health crisis.

  • Massive UFO Hidden in 'Laudatory' Building, Journalist Ross Coulthart Hints
  • …the UFO was a 30-foot saucer, stuck in the ground partway, but it felt like the inside was the size of a football stadium. When officials tried to pull it out of the ground, a shape started to pull off almost like a slice of pie, so they stopped.

    “They had a guy go into it,” Sheehan told Daily Mail. “He got in there, and it was as big as a football stadium. It was freaking him out and started making him feel nauseous, he was so disoriented because it was so gigantic inside… He staggered back out after being in there a couple of minutes, and outside it was four hours later.”

    Assume this is true and real for the sake of argument: what would this actually mean? I dont know much about space-time, but this sounds to me as though the UFO in question is merely a portal another another dimension or, (more likely?) a planet/location in a different part of our universe, and that location is closer to a black hole, so time passes more slowly.

    I dunno. I’m high AF RN

  • September 11 is the last day to join the Ontario Liberal Party to vote in the Ontario Liberal Leadership Election and decide who will lead them against Ford provincially.
  • He is my MPP. I’ve been very impressed with him. I’ve emailed him a few times voicing concerns, and each time he (or somebody from his staff) has addresses my emails, point by point, and have been very open to discussions. While i haven’t agreed with his stance on all points, i have very much appreciated the two way dialog, and the time that was taken to craft the responses (they were not short replies).
