 I prefer to call it medicine. 😀

Because it is indeed medicinal in many cases.

 Very much so… CannaCures. I will always support #PlantsOverPills but I also understand that’s a very different thing to many.

 Yeah, I was a hardcore 12-stepper in the early years… which still has a place in my life. But it’s a problem that needs a holistic solution. I tell people about the Freedom Model as a path to moderation or abstinence. People need autonomy.

 Wouldn’t it have been something if MKUltra had been used to correct these manipulations instead of planting them? Or The Program(ing) at youth “camps” had aligned with helping rather than hurting.

 Maybe, but I’m not sure how much info they were getting…something to do with why SC was getting so many users, etc…but I don’t know how much of that was fluff or if it went deeper than that.

@QW has PCR touched on it, I had not heard it mentioned…

 ALL the social platforms have legal issues right now. They are all in trouble in either the US or EU.
