No. It was just an innocent jogger. That said, I’m concerned about the other Jewish-on-Asian murder over duck sauce reported at the DS. It’s really insane.

It will likely turn out at some point that just like 99% of people prescribed opioids and antidepressants and are told they are trannies are in fact victims of toxic systemic greed and incompetence, the same will go for back surgery.

A ten-day regimen of non-invasive physical therapy annually would probably be the less clive barker deal for most sufferers.

Welp, a nigbo doctor killed Kanye West’s fatso momma, and another one killed Michael Jackson. I’d stick with YT if I wanted good trreatment.

Then again read about this colored boy, who went from a car mechanic to a doctor in his late 40s. Let him explain to you racists why it’s so important to have doctors who “look like him”:

….“His bedside manner and his work ethic certainly distinguish him. But there’s something else that could really benefit patients particularly in urban areas: his race.

“Being a physician of color, you have a special connection with patients when you look like them. There is a certain level of trust between you and the patient. This person who looks like me understands what I’m going through,” said Dr. Stephanie Gains, an emergency department physician at University Hospitals who mentored Allamby during one of his clinical rotations in medical school.

Allamby understands the importance.

“There are so many times throughout the different hospitals where I will walk in and [a black patient] will say, ‘Thank God there’s finally a brother here,’” Allamby said.”

What’s Trashcan Martin doing in that picture-learning how to steal the catalytic converter off of the aircraft? LOL.

I hate to say it, but I was hoping it was revenge for a bad COVIDVaxx. It may well have been that in reality, but TPTB would never let that story see the kight of day, lest it inspire thousands of others.

These shootings occur with too much regularity to not have deep state or government fingerprints all over them. This one might seem to have a legitimate motive, but who’s to say that Michael Lewis wasn’t groomed by government operatives for years and his unhappiness with his back surgery just gave them an opportunity to act. The other idea that the author proposes (that this could make calls for Oxycontin to be legalized) is valid. They could be trying to kill two birds with one stone on this one.

The so called Civil Rights Act does not enshrine affirmative action. It expressly forbids it yet here we are because of Jews like Alfred “Alfie” Blumrosen, Jewish activism in general and feckless, self hating whites.

It’s a good thing the doctor was black or the media and black activists would jump on this and accuse a white doctor of deliberately trying to harm the black patient. The black patient would be charged with murder but likely judged “mentally incompetent” to stand trial since he tried to murder a white doctor and all white people are now an untouchable class even those whites who have BLM stickers on their electric cars.

Keep Trayvon’s name out your fuckin mouth!!!

There should be no such thing as a prescription. Absolutely everything should be available to every adult. It’s the idea that all men are equal but some are more equal than others when they are granted a license by the State that causes the problems.

The gov’t decided that Cocaine, Heroin, etc are illegal and that decision has caused all the violence surrounding the illicit drug trade. If they were ignored under law, like cabbages, there would be no drug cartels because there would be thousands of individuals in a peaceful drug trade where buyers and sellers wouldn’t be killing each other.

A lot of back, bone and joint pains are resolvable by (super)nutritional and natural methods that are totally ignored by low caliber, dogmatic or mentally rigid MDs. Some of these deal with in vivo deficiencies, tissue regeneration or anti-inflammatory actions.

Mild, fundamental biochemical solutions certainly should be exhausted before messing around with surgeries and hard drugs. Almost 20 years of mostly rapid, long term relief from back and joint issues for me.

Orthopedic surgeons do a lot of unnecessary surgeries whereas rest and physical therapy would be a better treatment. But surgeons work on the “fee for service,” “usual and customary” payment model. The more surgeries that they do the fatter their wallets. This Negro gentleman was sold a bill of goods by the Harvard Med School graduate surgeon and expressed his disappointment in a positive way.

I can see wanting to kill an incompetent who operated on you and ruined your life- that is a valid reason for revenge. But, wouldn’t it be much mcuh better to hire a lawyer and get millions in reparations and be set up for life? Unless there were another really good reason, such as, the surgery made him impotent…

Nowadays most doctors and dentists are crook$.

Consider the Indian removal act of 1830

The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress and then enforced by President Andrew Jackson.

The act authorized President Jackson to set aside lands west of the Mississippi for Indian relocation.

Hmmmm . . .

Perhaps we can hang on long enough to see the “Negro and Mexican Removal Act of 2025”.

Build a really huge wall (with gun towers) on the Southern Border. March all the USA’s coons and spics down to Mexico.

Darwin and Fentanyl will sort things out south of the border.

Imagine the USA without graffiti, theft, looting, riots, B&E, shop lifting, purse snatching, arson, rape, and murder. We sure as Hell wouldn’t need as many prisons.

Now now, let’s not forget the forest for the trees. Sure, this random violence is by a Haitian immigrant from NJ married to a physician. But don’t let the rubber hammer hit your knee and trigger the BlacksBlacksBlacks reflex, you’re not a hopeless timid moron like Kersey.

Now then. We’ve got an availability cascade generated by Mockingbird media from the dull roar of fatal shootings that is US society at its finest. It’s Buffalo that shows you the template here, and how CIA adapted it to US use. This is the Brabant massacres for the US audience.

https://asawinstanley.substack.com/p/how-the-cia-oversaw-belgiums-secret

Random murder, often in grocery stores, to make the threat ubiquitous. In Belgium CIA was justifying repression of the left. In America, on the other hand, CIA is justifying repression of the whole subject population. There’s no need for skill or professionalism, since you’re not hyping fear of revolutionary cells. Spergs and schizos work fine. Here Langley wants to diffuse the threat, make people think it could be anyone, so you’ll hold still for more spy cameras and mall cops and tracking apps. But they want to criminalize resentment of all the routine predation of American life that CIA props up. So some guy screwed over by shit US healthcare is perfect.

Look into Louis. As an immigrant, as a healthcare apparatchik, as a pain patient on meds, CIA had multiple opportunities to program him. Did he get hypnosis for his pain, biofeedback, benzos? Contact tracing.

Did they literally stand in the way? Like “I’m gonna take a bullet for my nigga”?

Probably not.

Well, as you go on to note, all three were White, so it’s likely they were sacrificing themselves to save a Magic Negro. What else is new?

I would question AA’s speculation in part:
Back pain is dreadfully painful, but to expect pain relief after surgery within only ten days of the operation is not realistic. that can take many months.
All accounts I have seen use the phrase ‘Botched operation’. Where is the evidence that it was botched?
To suggest that mere lack of painkilling drugs from the surgeon, or that his inability to source such relief, might justify-in any sane mind- this action the next day is rhubarb.
He is black. He has some money. he is in pain. Therefore he could go out and illegally obtain opioids instead he went out and purchased guns.
So revenge was clearly his motive. He believed the surgeon had harmed him. Maybe he had heard rumors of the surgeon’s incompetence?
Some ask why he didn’t simply sue the black doctor. Not much hope of a big payout there. Had the surgeon been white- a different matter-obviously a black-hating white supremacist and possible Klansman.

Not to mention how many people were sent to prison for innocent cannabis.

All drugs should be legal.

Every single effort to treat drugs as a criminal problem has resulted in social catastrophe. Witness the violence, the Cartels, social marginalization, health problems, bloated prison population and the endless money spent by governments on a futile effort.

In general, only a small percentage of people will ever get addicted to a drug. And that is a behavioral problem, not a moral or criminal one. Of those who do get addicted, a large number will be able to function perfectly well in society as long as they have a legal and clean source for their supply. Those unable to function due to their addiction – ironically, most likely will be alcoholics – will be best served by psychological or medical attention rather than a criminal record.

There should be no such thing as a prescription. Absolutely everything should be available to every adult. It’s the idea that all men are equal but some are more equal than others when they are granted a license by the State that causes the problems.

Tens of thousands would drop dead overnight from unforeseen medical complications because they aren’t pharmacists. Men are indeed not equal and the average man did not go to college for 8-9 years to get a pharmacy degree where they learn about how mixing medicine A with B can be deadly unless C is added.

Would be another case where libertarians learn that the White man’s laws exist for a reason and are not the result of a Big Bad State.

Most AA med graduates today are affirmative action and it doesn’t matter if you live in a state where it is supposedly banned.

The med schools are extremely competitive and they aren’t going to allow blind admissions. The pols would flip out over the results and people in academia in general are liberal as they depend on government funding.

One tactic they use is the in-person interview. Basically you are interviewed by a team and given a score based on the interview. You tell them why you want to become a doctor and what you plan on doing with your profession.

Well if you have a majority liberal team you don’t even need to tell them how to score. The word race doesn’t even need to be used in the entire process. Of course they aren’t going to score everyone based on merit.

If you are a straight White male you better have a great story about how you are married to a Black woman and will be practicing in the ghetto or something alone those lines.

Most White men however are honest and don’t realize they are being graded based on race and sexuality.

How many people have died due to the violence of the “drug war”?
How many people have been incarcerated for nothing but non violent consumption and sale?
How much tax money is feeding the corrupt DEA while the CIA is known as the Cocaine Import Agency?
Wasn’t alcohol prohibition tried and didn’t it fail? Why would anyone think that making another vice illegal would work?

I could go on but won’t.

Tens of thousands would drop dead overnight

A bald assertion with noting backing it up, so I can label it bullshit.

Even if true, so what? It’s their choice. Why is it that you think you have the right to tell others how to lead their lives? If they want to be stupid and OD, let them. It gets rid of the junkies that are now part of the crime problem. Getting rid of the stupid and criminal is a plus.

The gov’t created the entire illicit drug trade just like they created the illicit booze trade almost a century ago. The gov’t learned that arbitrarily making things illegal allows them more control of the society. Having the gov’t be the primary importers of drugs into the country offers them the profit to run their murder incorporated operations. Licensing is another way of controlling and profiting from what should be a free market. A gov’t license doesn’t provide any proof of competency. It’s the university diploma that shows that the holder has the skills advertised. Why is gov’t involved in licensing is they aren’t just a mafia for profit operation?

andrew, you really are the best writer in this rightwing thing…better than steve sailer, who grifts for cash by milking his donors and giving their comments priority in publishing..the better to pump up their egos…he is so sad…

keep at it…btw, where is dailystormer located now?

an excellent point, bat surgeon…back surgery is notoriously painful and quite often UNsuccessful…that said, if the VA gives me a black surgeon, I am going to use my medicare instead….lol…

Tens of thousands would drop dead overnight

A bald assertion with noting backing it up, so I can label it bullshit.

Pharmacists partly exist to catch errors from doctors. Meaning a doctor doesn’t realize that prescription A will conflict with prescription B. Or he makes a mistake and accidentally adds an extra zero to the prescription amount which makes it deadly.

This happens every single day and saves lives.

Then there are all the people that would run out and OD on painkillers because they don’t realize that they conflict with an existing medication. That is why so many would be dead overnight. All the people with pain would go crazy with OTC painkillers.

Easily 10 thousand dead in a year as a conservative estimate. I would put it at closer to 1 million given the number of Americans on a dozen prescriptions.

You could give all the speeches you want about FreeDumb but the public wouldn’t care. They would demand a return to having pharmacists after losing aunts and grandmas.

Maybe we need an island to test all these retarded libertarian ideas. An island where you buy crack at mini marts and write your own prescriptions. Oh and also allow unlimited immigration from Africa since Allysa Rosenbaum said Western countries need that as well. Give it a year and when it implodes maybe libertarians will re-think their ridiculous cult.

Might one suppose that as result of this slaughter,surgeons in future, may perhaps be somewhat apprehensive or reluctant to treat black persons?

congoid doctors and angry congoid patients aside,

hospitals are notoriously filthy, dangerous places.

never, ever, go there. Be your own physician.

I was unable to ride my bike for more than 20 minutes because of the pain it caused in my shoulder. Acupuncture made it possible to resume riding. No drugs, no surgery. It’s voodoo, but it sometimes works.

If a Black is actually smart enough to become a competent doctor, he have much more lucrative options. The demand for Blacks who can pass for intelligent far exceeds supply, so unless a Black is willing to refuse a well-paid position, he will find himself promoted far beyond his capacity.

This is not just at the professional level. Blacks who could be perfectly adequate truck drivers or mail clerks will be sent to college, to get jobs in social work or the diversity industry. Blacks who would make fine janitors are driving trucks and sorting mail. It’s a rare one who knows their abilities and makes the most of them at a task they can master.

This happens every single day and saves lives.

Easily 10 thousand dead in a year as a conservative estimate. I would put it at closer to 1 million given the number of Americans on a dozen prescriptions.

One bald assertion after another.

Note that I never said to get rid of the pharmacist. I said to get rid of the laws that prevent people from obtaining prescription drugs without the prescription. This is aimed more at the doctors that have the legal system protecting their profit racket. If people want to consult the pharmacist, go for it. If they want to consult with the doctor, be my guest. It’s the force applied that I’m objecting to.

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers.
Socrates

As soon as you start name calling and labeling people, you lose the argument since that indicates your assertions can’t stand up to scrutiny and all that’s left is more bullshit.

I live on an island where what are prescription drugs in the US are over the counter here. I have at least of pound of Ivermectin, regular Chloroquine, can purchase hypodermic needles along with injectable B12, every antibiotic I can think of is readily available without a doctor’s permission slip and sans his fee. What’s more, these things are as cheap as dirt, pennies a pill and I know of no one that has died as a result of self medicating.

You are swallowing the propaganda and claiming you have a lock on the truth when what you really have is a conditioned mind ready for more programming.

John Johnson has laid out some good reasons to keep the prescription system, and getting this too intertwined with the War on (Some) Drugs is a mistake, for example drugs you can’t get a prescription for don’t exactly play into the thesis. I’d add some specifics:

Some drugs are inherently addictive, at least physiologically. That is, the body develops tolerance and that needs to be managed, including weaning off the drug. Narcotics and all the drugs that hit GABA like the benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax) and Z drugs (Ambien). Alcohol also hits GABA…. Various stimulants also have this, although I’m not sure how many are available. Ah, it’s a big problem with nasal decongestants.

If we don’t want to return to the days before effective microbials we need to limit and guide the prescribing and use of antibiotics. See New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 for a classic example of that, and note how (typically very stupid) “Indian politicians” got completely bent out of shape over the completely accurate name for this particularly powerful beta-lactamase (the β-lactam ring is what gives the penicillins and a number of other families of antibiotics their killing power).

Some drugs have narrow therapeutic indexes, that is the distance from a therapeutic to a toxic dose. Screw this up and you absolutely will kill people in a very direct way.

Men are indeed not equal and the average man did not go to college for 8-9 years to get a pharmacy degree where they learn about how mixing medicine A with B can be deadly unless C is added.

Speaking of not equal, your knowledge may not necessarily be equal to the subject matter. Any current/former pillheads or pharmacists are welcome to correct any of the below so that we all know the score:

A) Pharmacy school lasts five years, not 8-9.

B) It lasts five years largely because, like most schools, pharm school is all about extracting the maximum amount of money from students and not about teaching them something worthwhile every second of every schoolday.

(Ask any pharmacist how much of the advanced calculus and chemistry they learned in pharm school they use in their daily work.)

Ever wonder why your local pharmacist is so cranky? It is very likely because, after all of their tedious, rigorous, and expensive schooling, they learned the very first day on the job that they are little better than a glorified stockboy.

(Of course, they only learn this after years of the pharm schools lying their heads off and promising them they will be a “valued member of the community” once they graduate and don the white coat.)

C) A drug user does not need to go to college to learn which drugs do not go together. Anyone can consult the Physicians’ Desk Reference (now known as the Prescriber’s Digital Reference) and learn that information with no greater ability than the ability to read.

In fact, any pillhead worthy of the name makes it a point to pick up an older copy of the PDR early in his drug-taking career. Please stop making staying alive out to be something only “experts” are capable of advising them on. Not only does it make you sound like a square, but it is self-evidently untrue (the streets would be littered with the bodies of dead pillheads if it were so).

None of this is to say that a career of taking drugs will end well (it very likely will not). I am only trying to point out that any pillhead who is serious about staying alive can do so without any “help” from self-righteous squares.

You must be part of the crowd that said legalize marijuana and it will put illegal pot dealers and growers out of business. But in fact the illegal marijuana market has exploded in the wake of all the state level legalization that’s occurred the last several years. Around my area people are selling it illegally to undersell the state licensed pot dispensaries and we just had a shootout and murder resulting from an illegal pot deal gone wrong.

But the main lesson is that legalizing marijuana did not destroy the illicit marijuana trade so libertarian and leftist theoreticians have egg all over their faces. The black market is thriving like never before.

Big Pharma is the gov’t approved drug dealer. Recently, they produced a toxic vaccine that isn’t a vaccine at all since it doesn’t prevent infection and has numerous side effects. To top it off, the gov’t mandated that people take the toxic substance in order to stay employed, etc. The gov’t became the drug pusher.

So, to intertwine pharma drugs and the illicit variety is apropos since they function along the same lines with the gov’t variety now being forced on the population, whereas the illicit variety is distributed to purchasers that are not forced to take it but want it for whatever reason they may have.

The animal products in the US are shot full of antibiotics and other drugs so any purchaser is ingesting Big Pharma’s product without informed consent. The canard that people who want to self medicate by taking an antibiotic when they feel it is necessary never includes the force feeding of antibiotics to the whole meat eating population on an ongoing basis and then blames them for drug resistance for the one or two times a year they may need the med. I think you know as well as I do that if a patient insists on an antibiotic that many doctors will oblige just to avoid the confrontation. I recall being prescribed antibiotics for what was most likely a viral infection in the doctor’s estimation.

The issue is force, fraud and who benefits. The doctor’s income would be a fraction of what it is now if their prescription pad wasn’t required to obtain certain meds. If people want to consult with a doctor for what he believes in his opinion is the correct medication, then they are at liberty to take that option. If they want to consult with a pharmacist, they may also take that option. The problem is that there is no option to bypass these cost centers thus adding to the overall cost of medical care in the country that happens to be the highest in the world with nowhere near a commensurate positive outcome. US healthcare is way below other nations.

Maybe you missed my observation that on the island I live on, I can get anything I want just for the asking and people are just fine. The scary prognostications are just unfounded propaganda to keep Big Pharma and the Medical Mafia well funded.

I rarely come across thinking as shallow as yours.

The reason non approved pot distributors are still around is because the gov’t raised the prices so high as to make competing an attractive option.

In a free market, there would be no licensing, added costs, etc. In a free market, pot would be sold on the same terms as cabbage and I’m unaware of any turf wars over cabbage.

Let’s clear up a few things

Affirmative Action Med School admissions came concurrently with lawyers and MBA’s making more money than orthopedic surgeons. (the highest paid specialty). So…intellectually gifted jews (and a few goys with foresight) dissed medical school or medical practice, and got that 5th grade math degree (aka “MBA”) instead. Way easier, too, and no malpractice lawyers nipping at your ankles. (heh, the OB’s were the first to go – there’s your proof)

As for prescriptions? Did you know that 10% testosterone cream is now a “scheduled” script – a controlled substance requiring a DEA license? Yup. Guess who came up with that? [clue – she has tits and a hatred of men].

And oxycodone: whatta crock! When one has back surgery or another major (very painful) surgery (like knee joint replacements) or an injury where muscles are smashed, etc, it fucking hurts! Sometimes for weeks! o’codone was re-engineered 40 years ago to be less habit-forming (never a peep about that) and doesn’t get you high unless you take enough of it to make you vomit. But…the media has you all cowed. Such that media-suckered people are actually talked into getting their hands on the stuff creating this oxycontin drug “market” AND even worse, doctors responsible for your post-op comfort have their hands tied behind their backs – woefully reluctant to prescribe oxycontin to their patients writhing in post op/ post injury pain – why? because some bureaucrat threatens to yank their license! (they tell you to just take a lot of Tylenol – Tylenol is hepatotoxic, dammit) A fuckhead who probably never took a biology class in their life! Calling the shots.

I told them to stick my medical license up their giggie. (the CME has been taken over by Karens and I couldn’t tolerate even one hour of it – yet 54 hours of that lame brain nonsense is required to renew a license. – 54 hours of indoctrination, that is – not medical science) The great “reset” is already there in the medical field. Wanna know what the reset will be like? Just ask an old white male doctor – he’ll clarify it for you.

o’codone was re-engineered 40 years ago to be less habit-forming (never a peep about that) and doesn’t get you high unless you take enough of it to make you vomit.

The claim against the Sackler family is that they claimed it wasn’t habit-forming at all, which is obvious nonsense since all narcotics are, so I’d home in on proving the truth of that or not. I can believe the time release version was less habit-forming as you say.

Not sure “getting high” is the metric to use here, what about relief from psychological pain? How much faster does physiological tolerance develop when there’s less or no physical pain to counter?
If Official (now) story about the Sackler claim is correct, it would imply there also wouldn’t need to be a weaning off period and process to address the physiological dependency I’ve read since forever that sufficiently long use of narcotics induces.

But I can’t say I have any real knowledge of this except being prescribed for shingles for 2-3 weeks the weakest one (that’s now off the market due to heart issues) compounded with Tylenol which obviously serves two purposes, one using its hepatotoxicity to kill if taken to excess. I understand there’s still quite a fight over the insistence of both having those compounded drugs and putting them at a lower schedule.

And I have heard from many sources the backlash is resulting in a lot of unnecessary pain, doctors losing their licensees and/or liberty … where I live, if you’re looking for a new primary care physician they say upfront they’ll never prescribe narcotics to you. And I do wonder what’s going to happen if I run out of old white doctors….

Have had 4 back surgeries over the past 35 years (discectomies, laminectomies, decompressions). Each was successful at the time but things continue to go bad for me in the spine area. One thing I will never do is a fusion.

Most back surgeons push fusions, which puts lot of metal in your back. Fusions often relieve pain for up to 5 years and then go south resulting in more pain on the way to post-10 years according to studies. If this guy got a fusion, he would be in pain for some time until he began to heal.

But must have been quite serious pain to decide to shoot the doc.

Or possibly he was already hooked on pain pills from the pain he likely experienced for years before the surgery and wanted more/stronger after the surgery but doc said nope.

P.S. They always gave me a script for pain pills after a back surgery but I never filled them. I stay away from drugs as much as possible.

btw, where is dailystormer located now?

Acupuncture made it possible to resume riding. No drugs, no surgery. It’s voodoo, but it sometimes works.

Doing nothing, plus time, will work just as often. Acupuncture is like ‘the emdrive’; it doesn’t work, because it can’t work. There’s no ‘there’ there(the postulated mechanism does not exist).

Oops, maybe I’ve been punked(“…for more than 20 minutes…”). I’d thought that maybe it was straight because of “It’s voodoo, but it sometimes works.” but on reflection nah that’s just part of the prank. Well played sir(as The Beast says).

totally agree about the 10 days; maybe the doctor was overly optimistic in his description of expected relief? He should have given him enough pains meds for two weeks and then sent him to a pain clinic.

Maybe we need an island to test all these retarded libertarian ideas.

When it comes to narcotics, that experiment’s been done – Portugal decriminalised personal-use quantities of everything in 2001. This was accompanied by sensible ‘diversion’ programmes, which encouraged addicts to seek treatment… along with needle-exchange programs for ‘hard’ drugs.

The decision was greeted by clucks of outrage from the Chicken Littles who think that the State rationale for Prohibition is anything other than a flagrant lie.

Quite rapidly – within the next 5 years or so – there was a marked reduction in all manner of ‘social indicators’ strongly linked to low-level drug use: OD deaths; HIV infection; hepatitis C infrction; homelessness; petty theft, burglary etc. And of course, a huge reduction in incarceration rates.

The results were so good, that one of the main Chicken Littles changed his ind and became a bit famous (in the late 2000s) going around the the world singing the praises of the Portuguese approach (I forget his name, but will dig it up if you like). Italy and Spain have since taken smaller steps towards decriminalisation.

The Prohibition approach results in poor quality control, which leads to highly-variable potency of available street drugs… which can lead to a user dying from an accidental OD.

It has also led – very directly – to a kind of ‘arms race’ to pack as much active ingredient into as small a weight as possible (so coke → crack; amphetamines → meth/ice)… that’s just sound business practice, because then dealers can have more doses on them for a given quantity.

And it’s so bad nowadays that MDMA (‘E’/’Molly’) is often adulterated with fentanyl (possibly accidentally because the production process for pills is so amateurish).

That ‘arms race’ was clear even for weed: between the 1970s and the 2010s, the THC content of weed went from ~4% to ~14% because higher potency was more profitable in smaller bales, and smaller bales are harder to interdict.

Prohibition is not remotely concerned about public health, or about the well-being of the downtrodden and vulnerable. It is inspired by the social cuntery of the Methodist Spinster: “If I can’t have any fun, then nobody else can either“.

Don’t be a cunt.

And if you drink alcohol (which has far worse metabolic effects than any of weed, MDMA, coke or heroin), don’t be a hypocritical cunt.

And if you smoke cigarettes (which has far worse long-term health costs per addict) don’t be a stupid hypocritical cunt.

Disclosure: the only thing I use quasi-regularly, is weed tincture. Couple of drops under the tongue, and in half an hour I am deeply relaxed.

For me, the ‘legal’ alternative to get the same effect is ~1.5l of red wine, which aside from being expensive does all sorts of fucked-up shit to next-day performance, and will fuck a body up, long-term.

It is a fucking travesty that weed is still illegal in Australia – but we live in a society where ~¾ of the population are so retarded that they would allow themselves to be injected that Pfizer’s Magic Jizz – so I don’t really care about their collective opinion (as expressed by their corrupt cunty ‘representatives’): they failed a #OneQuestionIQTest.

There’s no ‘there’ there(the postulated mechanism does not exist).

Don’t underestimate the power of the Placebo Effect. (And its flipside – the nocebo effect).

There are people for whom this effect can be quite marked.

Give my Dad half a baby Panadol (paracetamol/acetaminophen 200mg) and he will sleep for 12 hours – I kid you not.

Meanwhile, there’s no evidence that acetaminophen outperforms increased hydration as a treatment for headache, and 4000mg daily does not outperform placebo for back pain (see Williams et al. (2014), “Efficacy of paracetamol for acute low-back pain: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial“ Lancet Vol 384, Issue 9954, P1586-1596, November 01, 2014).

4000mg a day is starting to get to “You’re on a path to a fucked liver” territory.

I wish I could induce placebo effect in myself, but I am strongly non-suggestible – to the point of being just a contrary cunt about anything and everything.

In the same vein: if it was possible to ‘bluepill‘ oneself, I would do it in a heartbeat, and live in relatively-happy ignorance of the bullshit in which we’re all buried.

What, no attempt at showing where my analysis is somehow wrong or in error?

All you’ve got is labeling me a troll when you can’t counter my arguments?

Next time, don’t come at me unless you can take the heat.

I rarely come across thinking as shallow as yours.

That’s funny because when you were all calling to legalize marijuana I don’t recall anyone predicting that state regulated pot dispensaries would prove cost prohibitive, but I might have missed it. But this is typical ad hominem because you’re talking points ring hollow. In fact, pro-pot state legislators, usually leftists, were bragging about windfall revenues they would reap from the taxes but even that’s failing to materialize.

The reason non approved pot distributors are still around is because the gov’t raised the prices so high as to make competing an attractive option.

Duh, but even if states lowered prices the illegal distributers will still find a way to undersell them. If there isn’t minimal regulations how can you tell the really good shit from the bad shit? How ill you know how much THC is in it if the seller isn’t required to disclose this to the buyer?

and I’m unaware of any turf wars over cabbage.

Comparing hard drugs to cabbage? Now that’s some deep thinking and insight for ya! The last I checked you can’t get a buzz or a high eating cabbage, so the cartels or the mafia won’t be entering the cabbage business anytime soon.

Back in 2009 UR had this article detailing all the affirmative action special treatment given to blacks by our medical colleges.

https://unz.com/isteve/medical-school-test-scores-gpas-and_27/

The push was to decriminalize pot. Remove it from the list of banned substances. The state instead made it legal as long as you jump through their expensive hoops so they can act out their mafia leanings and take a significant cut for doing nothing that anyone wanted.

Only the crooks in gov’t wanted to make pot a cash cow for them. Everyone else wanted it to just lose the threat of getting locked up for having a weed in your possession.

You keep coming back to legal and illegal distribution. Is there a legal and illegal cabbage distribution? Are cabbages taxed at some ridiculous level? Does one need a special license to sell a cabbage?

Your a statist and see things from that mafia’s perspective instead of the free market.

BTW – the cartels are taking over the avocado business in Mexico.

>>>the percentage of blacks smart enough to be doctors without AA is so small that statistically speaking, any black doctor is almost certain to be unqualified for the job and pushed through schooling and hiring by AA laws.

In the interest of clarity, the odds that a black person in a high-status position got his job as a direct result of “affirmative action’ is roughly 97%.

The specific figures were from the Harvard office of undergraduate admissions from roughly four years ago: there were 31 blacks in Harvard’s freshman class, and the admitting office stated on the record that 30 of them were only admitted because they were black….

He was released from the hospital on May 24, five days after Phillips operated on him, and “called several times over several days complaining of pain and want[ing] additional treatment,” according to Franklin.

Five days?!?! I got back surgery and the doctor told me that the pain would last for four months – and it did. Does the idiot expect miracles?

“Quite rapidly – within the next 5 years or so – there was a marked reduction in all manner of ‘social indicators’ strongly linked to low-level drug use: OD deaths; HIV infection; hepatitis C infrction; homelessness; petty theft, burglary etc. And of course, a huge reduction in incarceration rates.”

And yet, something doesn’t smell right here. What necessary connection is there between “personal use” quantities being decriminalized and all of these reductions in crime and other health problems? Presumably, the personal users will still need to buy their drugs from somewhere. Who is providing those drugs and how are they making their drugs in quantities that fall below criminal quantities yet produce enough to sell? Moreover, how does the government get addicts to get into treatment programs if these same addicts can just obtain “personal use” quantities of drugs? Why would quality, cleanliness, and safety improve if the illegal infrastructure is unchanged? Drug dealers suddenly become more conscientious if their business is legal? None of this makes sense.

The only way this circle is squared is if you assume the drug business was run by the Portuguese government from the beginning. Drug dealing creates social problems that give politicians opportunities to loot the treasury and secure more power. To end the social problems, the government just cuts off the dealers, purifies the product to pharmaceutical levels of quality and safety, and then administers this “methadone” version of drugs to addicts to wean them off. When the government creates a new crisis, then it restarts the drug operations as a distraction from the new problems it created.

Meanwhile, there’s no evidence that acetaminophen outperforms increased hydration as a treatment for headache, and 4000mg daily does not outperform placebo for back pain

I cannot say I am surprised.

I have, on occasion, spoken with Yanks who have been in real pain. Based on what they have told me, “pain management” in the US consists largely of patients being thrown a few Super Tylenols and getting chucked out of the physician’s office. Shameful.

What does surprise me is the apparent lack of furore over this state of affairs. A friend recently posited that the lack of outrage has an awful lot to do with American politicians being on gold-plated healthcare plans that allow them to get anything they want in the way of pain relief.

Were they suffering along with the masses, the theory goes, things would be quite different.

Good evening, Mr. KenH,

I hope this message finds you well…
(I truly hope you are enjoying your evening…)

How much cannabis have you enjoyed?
Have you ever even partaken of the so called devil weed…?

I’m beginning to think that you know nothing about cannabis.
(Surely you don’t equate cannabis with “hard drugs”?)

Maybe you should try cannabis before you criticize it…

But; please keep in mind, such things, while great for some people, are not for everyone… One size does not fit all…

Please be considerate of others…

I hope you have a nice evening…

If a Black is actually smart enough to become a competent doctor, he have much more lucrative options. The demand for Blacks who can pass for intelligent far exceeds supply, so unless a Black is willing to refuse a well-paid position, he will find himself promoted far beyond his capacity.

This is correct. Such a person can easily make 6 figures in the corporate world and without going to school for 10 years. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone for taking that path.

This is not just at the professional level. Blacks who could be perfectly adequate truck drivers or mail clerks will be sent to college, to get jobs in social work or the diversity industry.

We need good trucker drivers and there is no shame in that profession. The country would be better off without social departments or diversity industries. I knew someone in social work and it was appalling. No one understands as to what actually goes on behind the scenes to even make this fake society look presentable. The government is trying to be a nanny to all these irresponsible women. They suck in White female college grads and make them work for Black women with 5 kids and 5 daddies. That is what social work looks like.

Maybe we need an island to test all these retarded libertarian ideas.

When it comes to narcotics, that experiment’s been done – Portugal decriminalised personal-use quantities of everything in 2001.

Portugal is filled with Portuguese and they don’t have the same level of self-loathing and degeneracy as the US. Just because a policy works in Europe does not mean it will work in the US.

Hard drugs have been decriminalized in SF for years and their overdoses have increased. It didn’t make SF a utopia and in fact even their liberal voters are tired of the open drug markets and addicts filling up public spaces. Even the mayor admitted on television that tolerating heroin needs to end.

The decision was greeted by clucks of outrage from the Chicken Littles who think that the State rationale for Prohibition is anything other than a flagrant lie.

Chicken Littles? Is that you call people that oppose drugs that its supporters don’t deny will destroy people and families?

If I were in charge I would have every drug dealer shot in the head and think nothing of it. Drug dealers are losers that don’t want to work a real job. Kind of like prostitutes.

That is how China dealt with opium. Shoot the dealers and they get the message.

I don’t give a goddamn about Alyssa Rosenbaum and her followers. Americans can’t control how much KFC they eat and the last thing we need is heroin sold in vending machines.

Pharmacy school lasts five years, not 8-9.

I said “the average man did not go to college for 8-9 years to get a pharmacy degree”

It can take six to eight years to become a pharmacist after graduating from high school.
https://www.singlecare.com/blog/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-pharmacist/

Plus one year of their equivalent of residency where they get garbage pay as part of a internship type scam.

That means 7-9 depending on the state.

Come talk to me when you actually research an issue like pharmacy before trying to promote your Allysa Rosenbaum fantasies where something like Pharmacy is just the Big Bad Government trying to hold down rugged individualists from writing their own prescriptions.

The libertarian party has actually declined from getting 1% of the vote for presidency to half a percent. And in fact Trump would have won if the open borders ‘n machine guns for everyone party didn’t rally around another loser.

Your ideology has serious problems if your party can’t break a 2% barrier since the 1970s. Pathetic.

The public has rejected this d-ck f-ck dumb party where you are expected to trust amoral foreign corporations to Do The Right Thing cause capitalism is all bunnies and hugs once we get rid of regulations. This ideology is so goddamn stupid and yet you are one of the Unz regulars here that bashes the Jews. Do I need to point out how many Libertarian intellectuals were Jewish? Rand? Rothbard? Friedman? This ideology is more Jewish than a NY bagel company.

The move against OxyContin also caused a chilling effect on the prescribing of normal opioids, which are not nearly as dangerous or addictive as OxyContin. These drugs had been around for centuries.

It’s worse than you think.

The wife’s in pharmacy and among the people she’s heard from recently is a long time deputy sheriff who said people would be amazed at the number of chronic pain patients who are suiciding because of the pain pill cut-off. Two things stand out:

1. They are getting rid of long time useful drugs, such as Darvocet and Norco, but they are STILL prescribing Oxycontin. Why’s that? Sackler family still need the royalties?

2. They’re actually trying to get pain patients on anti-depression pills. Yeah, the stuff with the real good safety record… as in murders, suicides, and all the rest.

The Sackler-Perdue thing was very probably an inside job. Especially since Purdue off-shored all its assets before the investigation even ended. They didn’t lose a dime. And the CDC, DEA and FDA all have extra funds for the… ah-hem… “opioid epidemic.”

Deal!!!

I’ll just wipe my ass with his face. Oh wait I can’t, since he is buried 6 feet deep Thank God! Never forget at the same time that a “White” Hispanic Zimmerman is quietly living his life somewhere free as a bird and there is NOTHING your dumb black ass can do about it.

BTW George Fentanyl Floyd has been drug free for 2 years now and good for him.

Andrew is even better than Jarod Taylor, Jim Goad, Paul Kersey and all the other legacy professional so called right wing dissidents. Anglin is a destroyer of stupid boomers which are truly the bane of the Conservative community. If we kept listening to the fools above we would keep getting told never to fight back, never insult when insulted, and never ever call someone names. conservatives want to force us to love our enemies when we should be using a front end loader to bury them in mass graves. These idiots like Shapiro Malkin or Buchanan tell us we need to get elected to the school boards that are working so hard to dox parents and turn their kids into faggots. I guess they forgot November 2020 when the leftists were taping up the windows. The option to vote your way out is long past. What needs to be done to these school boards and for us on the real Right to provide photos, names, home addresses, home and cell phone numbers, employers, spouses and their employers and any other information and post it to overseas servers for public use. We should be calling CPS on these school board members and reporting suspected child molestation, then spread on social media that they are sexually molesting their children if CPS does nothing. SWAT them and their spouses, Get credit cards in their names and send them non refundable gifts, in other words do every single dirty trick you can think of to destroy these people. That is a whole lot more effective than voting them out like Malkin and the other morons want to do.

Anglin reported the truth about the covid hoax from day one. While the cucks got stuck blaming China (cause they’re funny looking Asians) and got stuck in illogical circles, Andrew instead explained that we should have a Sino White alliance. Andrew has been %100 correct about Ukraine and has been one of the only English speakers to show the reality of Ukraine and their love of taping civilians to polls, spray painting their faces green, and sticking flags or other assorted objects in their asses (must be that Western LGBT brainwashing). While self professed moderate commenters here were foaming at the mouths over Russia blowing up theatres, slaughtering villages and other atrocities that have disappeared from the news cycle because it was easily proven that they were all hoaxes and in fact war crimes committed by the Ukrainians themselves on their own people.

The main criticism of Anglin is that he calls people naughty names or didn’t graduate from university. Imagine to be so fragile that naughty names hurt you. Imagine insulting someone over not going to college when every american college is a full blown SJW indoc center and barely even teaches hard sciences, history, Writing or anything else traditional. So Anglin is supposed to have a degree, Hell I have several degrees and idiots online their first attack to avoid facts is to claim I am lying about my education. So if you don’t go to college you are a moron and if you did graduate university then you are just lying to these people online on their overpriced cell phones.

The ONLY criticism I have for Anglin is that he does not offer unmoderated comments on his constantly changing websites. If Anglin added comments to his site I would leave Unz and never comment again here. The boomer cucks here who “just want to debate without name calling” would LOVE for me to leave so I suggest they beg Anglin to open a comments section instead of insulting him.

I have no idea how acupuncture is supposed to work. I had never considered it, but Kaiser sent me there, and after a few visits I could ride my bike for hours instead of minutes at a time. Beats surgery or drugs. No prank on my part.

I agree.
But — where I have doubts is so-called “uppers”. These drugs will cause psychosis if abused.
Maybe it’s a price worth paying to get rid of massive organized crime & the corruption that inevitably follows in its wake…?

Agree with your point, but there are plenty of government regulations about cabbages, as with every other product, e.g., https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/cabbage-grades-and-standards

Hopefully Hollywood will capture Michael Louis’ brave story against the medical establishment on film. I’m thinking a revival of Denzels role for John Q 2.

…all three were White, so it’s likely they were sacrificing themselves to save a Magic Negro.

Or maybe not. Maybe, they simply couldn’t get out of the way of his gunfire.

You keep coming back to legal and illegal distribution. Is there a legal and illegal cabbage distribution? Are cabbages taxed at some ridiculous level? Does one need a special license to sell a cabbage?

That’s because is states where marijuana is legalized it must be bought and sold through state sanctioned distribution channels. I really don’t have a dog in this fight but if there isn’t minimal regulations how do you guarantee the purity and control the potency and safety of the marijuana?

You really like cabbage. How is a food item and a drug with mind altering effects equivalent? Like I said cabbage cannot give one a high or a buzz. At most you might get food poisoning if not cleaned properly or vomit if you eat too much. Have you ever heard of cabbage fueled crimes or someone who killed their family member or carved up their dog after eating too much cabbage?

Marijuana can cause several psychiatric disorders like psychosis and schizophrenia. Cabbage cannot.

I told you that the push was for decriminalization, not legalization. Legalization happened because the gov’t mafia wanted to have a source of control and massive profit by using extortion to get its way, as usual. Under decriminalization, pot would have been treated like any other normal plant or weed. Under legalization, it is a profit center for gov’t and that raises the cost to supply it as well as the price to purchase it and thus entrepreneurs show up to undercut the “legal” version.

This isn’t rocket science. Had pot been decriminalized instead of legalized, then pot would have fallen off radar and treated like cabbage or tomates, broccoli, etc. Pot has been used for thousands of years and there has never been an instance of death recorded by overdosing on pot. Your bullshit about purity, etc is just the excuse gov’t uses to maintain their cartel like control no different that the Columbian, Mexican and other cartels that operate outside gov’t sanction.

Your pot fueled crime bullshit falls apart when you realize that the gov’t is sanctioning THEIR authorized pot as legal. Do you think there’s a difference and that only the “illegal” pot is involved in crime? Same with your psychiatric claim – does the gov’t sanctioned pot somehow differ and doesn’t cause issues? Both the crime and psychosis claims are not proven to be true at any rate. They are trotted out as assertions for the weak of mind to take as facts.

Your arguments are as weak as water and fail logic tests.

Totally right. I am trying to convince the grand son of a friend, recent high school graduate, that perhaps being an orthopedic surgeon is not the brightest career future. Not because a disgruntled patient might kill one, but for the reasons you’ve mentioned. I’ve spoken to Grandma about this, since giving black pill advice to non-kin really isn’t appropriate for me. Being conservative, she’s largely in agreement. If I get to comment, I will address Junior not only with the Woke realities of the job market that make being a White Male the bottom of the totem pole, but also how corrupt and poorly managed our health care system is. I’m pretty sure he’s smart enough to not have taken the mRNA experimental shot yet, but I will point out to him that a surgeon will be largely dependent upon having hospital practice privileges and who knows what dubious mandates will be placed upon him many years hence?

I’ll suggest to the young man that taking advantage of a generous scholarship is a great idea, but he might want to research his career choices before potentially taking on hundreds of thousand in student debt. Sadly, I can’t think of any particular career for him. But if he can get a mostly free ride in undergrad, I would say “do it.”

On a more personal level, I don’t think I need to persuade anyone reading at UR (save trolls, of course) that if you are presented with a Black physician, run, don’t walk for the exits. I’m violating my own advice, to some extent, as I see a Haitian cardiologist. However, to date he has done nothing more invasive than prescribe baby aspirin and a statin (I have no major issues — yet.) Much to the dismay of the present readership, statistically when selecting a doctor, one will be best off with a white male Jew. 😛 Good luck finding any these days!

I will have to disagree on a few counts. I concede the point that pharmacists can and probably do prevent many harmful or fatal drug interactions. Also that absent a regulatory structure, many would self-medicate with all the risks that entails. What’s missing are the arguments against government licensing or monopolies. If a free market existed, why couldn’t there still be pharmacists and other quality control measures? If a person wanted the peace of mind such additional levels of safety and expertise would bring, he could pay for it. For those who wanted to play doctor on themself, why not let them? They’d save money and, yes, risk bringing injury or death upon themselves. So what? But government regulation exists to prevent this! Specious argument. Regulation exists to primarily to create artificial monopoly and drive up costs. It’s just a updated name for the ancient guild system.

Yes, in a libertarian system stupid people would likely off themselves. But is that really such a bad thing? Darwinism and natural selection beg for precisely that — for the unfit to be eliminated from the gene pool. It is a feature, and not necessarily a good one, of civilization to succor the weak and the unfit. It sounds good in theory, but in practice it leads to a weakening of the species. Being our brother’s keeper sounded good in Sunday school, but in practice it means being one’s brother’s baby-sitter and, if he deviates from your Divine Plan, his jailer. I’m not saying that compassion and a helping hand are always an error, only that good intentions often lead to worse outcomes than if one had done nothing at all. I think an excellent case can be made that drug prohibition (and the medical guild system) is just such an instance.

Finally, consider the fact that medical errors are a leading cause of death already. Would it really be that much worse if the yoke of government were taken off our medical system?

Orthopedic surgeons are normally conservative in their prognoses about back surgeries. They will only say that the surgery is intended to prevent your problem from worsening but will not promise that it will not. Degenerative joint disease is progressive and will get worse as one ages (believe me, I know). They can decompress the spine temporarily but the process of compression of the nerves continues. I use an herbal pain relief called Kratom for pain relief. It has some mild opioid and anti-spasmodic qualities and is much safer and less expensive than prescription narcs. Big Pharma has tried for years to get their bureaucratic and legislative shills to ban it but has succeeded in only a few states (this while those same shills allowed the pill peddlers to kill hundreds of thousands with Oxycontin!).

A physicist I know says that the sharper White boys at his very prestigious institution are aware that they have very limited futures in academia, and are looking elsewhere.

Evil business. Fertile, intelligent White women going college for six years in order to work as nannies for Black and Mexican mamas, instead of creating their own families.

Do I need to point out how many Libertarian intellectuals were Jewish? Rand? Rothbard? Friedman? This ideology is more Jewish than a NY bagel company.

And for the more intellectual (maybe, I’m not familiar with Friedman’s non-popular works) perhaps top dog Ludwig von Mises.

Although per Wikipedia and vague memory not his student Friedrich Hayek who’s insight into the information problem of planned economies is invaluable (price signalling, what got him his Memorial Nobel Prize in Economics per Wikipedia). And I’m pretty sure The Road to Serfdom is still worth reading today, maybe even invaluable. If you don’t have time, there’s a picture book version that’s pretty cool to the extent I glanced at it and he said he was amazed by the quality of the Reader’s Digest condensed version (it did have a lot which could be profitably chopped, or read if you’re interested in economics).

But, yeah, in general there’s a reason “lolbertarian” was coined. That people could still be pushing it in this age of old fashioned state and corporate fascism, the deliberate and ongoing destruction of US manufacturing and energy poverty, and the totalitarian tech Left is amazing.

The wife’s in pharmacy and among the people she’s heard from recently is a long time deputy sheriff who said people would be amazed at the number of chronic pain patients who are suiciding because of the pain pill cut-off.

Yeah, I’ve heard of that, it’s certainly plausible.

Two things stand out:

1. They are getting rid of long time useful drugs, such as Darvocet and Norco, but they are STILL prescribing Oxycontin. Why’s that? Sackler family still need the royalties?

Darvocet is first of all weak sauce, and the only one I have familiarity with due to a bout with shingles. The official reason it was taken off the market is that it causes heart arrhythmias plus of course all narcotics with acetaminophen AKA paracetamol are disfavored because that’s as much a way to kill those who abuse them as something useful. Norco is also in the latter category, hydrocodone plus acetaminophen. Better to take each drug individually, or as people are saying maybe skip the acetaminophen, but I find it to be a useful drug.

Note the dextropropoxyphene narcotic in Darvocet was I think mostly favored over codeine because the latter is a pro-drug of morphine meaning your body has to metabolize it for it to be useful, and that can cause all sorts of problems if you do it too fast or too slow.

Oxycontin is out of patent protection, I just found six companies that make FDA approved generic extended time release versions of oxycodone and it’s very unlikely your pharmacy benefits program will allow you to get the brand name. Plus aren’t there plenty of alternatives? I mean, I read about fentanyl patches being dangerous to touch for those who aren’t already tolerant of the drug. Which brings up the next issue:

2. They’re actually trying to get pain patients on anti-depression pills. Yeah, the stuff with the real good safety record… as in murders, suicides, and all the rest.

What you claim about a bad safety record is grossly overblown, especially since you’d have to distinguish between correlation and causation, they’re prescribed to people who are already a lot more prone to homicide including suicide.

And then there’s tolerance. I have no idea how it’s managed, but it’s certainly an issue that anti-depressants don’t have, so the safe (in immediate side effects if you insist) third generation ones sound worth a try. Especially since as I’m sure you’re aware doctors are in danger of losing their DEA license, medical license, or freedom if the DEA etc. decides they’re prescribing too many narcotics.

Had pot been decriminalized instead of legalized, then pot would have fallen off radar and treated like cabbage or tomates, broccoli, etc.

Yeah, sure, we could all get pot at our local farmers market along with our cabbage and corn on the cob. I’ve never heard of a cabbage or tomato deal gone bad.

Your pot fueled crime bullshit falls apart when you realize that the gov’t is sanctioning THEIR authorized pot as legal. Do you think there’s a difference and that only the “illegal” pot is involved in crime? Same with your psychiatric claim – does the gov’t sanctioned pot somehow differ and doesn’t cause issues?

Not what I said and typical straw man argument tactics used by almost all pro-pot hardliners. Opponents of legalization were just as critical of marijuana sold legally by the state. I don’t know whether the legal stuff is better/safer with higher/lower THC than the illegal stuff but you can’t seem to answer that question or don’t think it matters. If your doctor prescribes a drug do you trust a licensed pharmacist or some rando who says he can give you the same thing from his basement lab on the seedy side of town for 50% cheaper?

Pot can be a harmful drug regardless of its legal status. Unlike cabbage it is sometimes found in both homicide victims and perpetrators. Decriminalizing it won’t change the fact that the high it provides to users will make it in demand and guarantee that criminal networks will largely control the sale and distribution because of the revenues it brings in. If you try to get entrepreneurial and sell in an area claimed by the Sinaloa cartel or a major outlaw motorcycle club then you are in big trouble and will be crying to the state that you hate for protection.

https://www.phillyvoice.com/monroe-county-woman-stabbed-babysitter-edible-marijuana-pennsylvania/

It’s your right to believe that all pot is created equal and using it can grow 20 inch biceps, grow hair on your chest, and raise one’s IQ 15 points. Like most pro-pot hardliners you think you have all the answers and know everything related to pot.

I have never used cannabis and don’t plan to. Does one have to smoke lots of weed to be considered an expert? Like you said Cannabis is not for everyone and some people do have bad reactions to it.

Pot pushers act like it is almost the perfect drug and if something seems too good to be true then it usually is.

Pot is a weed that almost anyone can grow for themselves. If decriminalized and ignored by gov’t laws, then the average person can grow his own and the care and feeding of the plant will determine what he gets. This is the best possible pot as the user / grower is the same person. There would be no profit in pot for anyone to get into the market because most folks would know someone that is growing it. Throw some seeds in a field and there it is. It would become a nearly worthless crop due to wide cultivation just like there’s no market for crabgrass.

But the gov’t couldn’t let this occur because there’s no money or control in this scenario. Decriminalization was converted to legalization with all the strings attached to have a new problem completely invented by gov’t of people undercutting the “legal” prices. This provide the gov’t goons with people to charge, arrest and prosecute for denying the gov’t their cartelized revenue stream.

Where I am in the Caribbean, pot grows randomly in fields. No one cares.

Come talk to me when you actually research an issue like pharmacy before trying to promote your Allysa Rosenbaum fantasies where something like Pharmacy is just the Big Bad Government trying to hold down rugged individualists from writing their own prescriptions.

My fantasies do not appear to be nearly as elaborately constructed as yours, whereby individuals are completely incapable of looking after their own interests (such as staying alive).

I am not saying that people cannot never be foolish and make mistakes. I am saying that a drug user does not need to attend years of pharmacy school to gain enough knowledge to stay alive. As I pointed out earlier, the PDR does exist, and one does not have to be a pharmacist in order to extract enough knowledge from it to help avoid making mistakes.

If there was anything in your post to refute that, I must have missed it.

However, if you want to continue to insist that people who do not attend pharmacy school have no idea what they are doing, go right ahead. While I am not a fan of drugs, I am even less of a fan of people who take the position that people ought to sit on their hands until the government gets around to making their decisions for them and what you do and don’t put into your own body is as basic a decision as it gets.

PS: anon numbers are recycled, a fact worth remembering before you start discussing an anon’s older posts.

Just remember – it is in fact possible that the surgeon Dr. Phillips was not incompetent but merely “average” and maybe adequate to perform the type of surgery he had performed on the particular patient Michael Louis. Some types of surgery have a high failure rate and even leave the patient worse off than they were before the surgery. Back surgery is one of them.

Maybe Louis was told before the surgery that it might not work out. Maybe he even signed documents to that effect. Or maybe there was a rehabilitation and recovery issue that Louis did not quite understand. There are a lot of possible issues here other than the familiar “dog bites man” trope of the affirmative action surgeon botching the procedure.

Most medical practice – even a lot of types of surgery – is not brain surgery, neither metaphorically nor literally. Most medicine is something any moderately bright person can learn even without all of the sequences of undergraduate science courses that constitute the minimal requirements for medical school admissions. Most medicine. Although one becomes an licensed physician after completing medical school and an internship, the profession maintains a lot of de facto control over who is allowed to do what.

Maybe the doctor did nothing wrong. Maybe the surgery wasn’t even a failure. How do we know?

I just found six companies that make FDA approved generic extended time release versions of oxycodone and it’s very unlikely your pharmacy benefits program will allow you to get the brand name.

Was not aware that oxycodone fell out of protection or why it’s still being prescribed anyway — that was the one slagged the most as “hillbilly heroin” and uniquely abuse-prone. So it’s out there anyway? This kicks the ground out from their cover story AND annoys pain patients greatly because… as Dr Josh Bloom points out… it’s not being prescribed anyway.

Especially since as I’m sure you’re aware doctors are in danger of losing their DEA license, medical license, or freedom if the DEA etc. decides they’re prescribing too many narcotics.

Very. A very respected internist was threatened by the DEA via email. He treated my wife’s stomach trouble with low doses of a very weak drug called Ultram (tramadol) and he was told it’s now restricted-use. In the 1990s, tramadol was going to be an over-the-counter drug and just missed it. I was amazed. Tramadol is barely more than a mild dose of caffeine.

Doctors — even ones with proven excellence and fine track records are under great stress. Some, such as out internist friend, no longer prescribes anything for pain at all. Which comes down to saying they can’t do their job.

I don’t think it’s any great surprise, that’s the trouble. People now deal with drug cops when they visit their family physician — a time that’s pretty stressful for some anyway. Every prescribed drug goes into a Federal database. It looks like make-work for bureaucrats who know they’re not going to “solve” any epidemic but they can sure get a bigger pay package by shaking down the most law-abiding people in the country.

Jose Bloom’s articles on all aspects of this subject are highly informative:

https://www.acsh.org/news/2021/10/05/analyzing-opioid-crisis-updated-100-articles-published-op-eds-15848

all these so-called boomers on the dissident right are just in it for the money–jared taylor, sailer, ramzpaul, etc….they almost certainly know that their “activism” is going to change nothing…but they do it for the money…and anglin does it for the money…but at least he does not pretend to publish comments “randomly” or according to his “whim”…I am betting that his whims run in favor of those who donate to him…

there will be no revolution…this war is over…and we lost…

yeah, the USA is a globohomo slave labor camp…laws everywhere…and nothing we can do about it…that is why I am in favor of giving the elites exactly what they want–good and hard…open the borders….and even have the military import as many thirdworlders as possible as fast as possible…cause a breakdown of the system…break the control of the elites…and then the fun starts…

When I heard why he shot the doctor my first thought was that he must have been denied sufficient pain medication for his pain. That is a common problem these days. Countless people suffering from severe pain are denied what they need thanks to the DEA and the demonizing of narcotic pain medication.

Once, recently, I had a very real need for the stuff and could not get it from any doctor. Fortunately I was resourceful and was able to get it anyway, but not from any doctor. It cost a lot of money but I would have otherwise lost my job and at one point been stranded 600 miles from home and unable to drive my car …as sitting in the seat more than a minute or so brought on severe pain in my leg. I was eventually able to remedy the cause of that pain but I had to turn to the black market to get what I needed.

As far as I’m concerned, many of the doctors practicing today have become monsters. I would never go shoot a doctor but thoughts of inflicting serious pain certainly has crossed my mind.

For an answer, review video of niggrows who have issues with their orders in fast food restaurants.

It’s a standard chimp-out, dude. This junk happens wherever blacks are.

“No one cares” is sort of the ideal state of things and might even serve as a personal motto, right, Panama Red?

You’ll have to take my word for it that I had to do a search on ‘Panama Red’ to ascertain that it is a strain of pot as I suspected from context.

I have no idea what grows around here. I just recognize the shape of the leaves and other characteristics to know it’s pot.

Anyway, point being: banning normal opioid pain medication as a response to OxyContin wasn’t really helpful to society.

I support khat legalization. Chewing fresh leaves every goddamn day makes your breath smell OK and keeps the population tame. Sacklers can put their brand name on it, win-win.

No doubt your pot-detecting abilities are good.

No prank on my part.

Well that’s a pity since it was quite a good one. Never mind.

I have twice had a prolapsed disk which was so bad, both times, that I was lying flat on my back for a week. Had to, slowly, turn on my stomach and back out of bed onto hands and knees and crawl to the toilet. Fortunately they happened after I’d retired from airline flying so I didn’t even have to see a doctor. I’m blessed with severe iatrophobia, so I didn’t end up permanently damaged by surgery; the effluxion of time fixed both events. That is certainly also what cured your problem.

I’ve heard that TEOT even cures broken hearts, but since I’m a heartless b I don’t have personal experience of such. At least I’m not as bad as Kratoklastes; I’m only a b but I believe that he’s a c.

Oh, another one of your glorious saints! We whites have our share of scumbags and losers also; but the difference is we don’t glorify them. Your race is pathetic and a menace to civilization.

When it comes to avoiding black doctors, I suspect blacks are smarter than guilt-ridden white leftist with the urge to sacrifice themselves in the name of social equality.

“Being a physician of color, you have a special connection with patients when you look like them.

That’ll be the excuse that forces their demand for more munt docs nationwide. I’ve known a lot of family and friends that’ve had surgeries and I’ve yet to see a black doctor involved in any of them. After looking it up and finding that out of all surgeon’s in the US, less than 5% are, or claim African heritage. I’m sure this will and must change because of muh equity and other such nonsense but the sad part of all that is medical residents at some point will have to violate their ethics and standards to allow for the influx of those not up to the task for bowing to the god “we’re all the same.”

Don’t diss third parties quite so much. If not for the Greens and Ralph Nader, Al Gore would have been presidents. Al Gore was and is outright delusional. Being so didn’t hurt him in his post-politics career of film producer and activist. Not sure it’s a good idea to have someone who is outright hallucinatory in the West Wing.

Being out of politics wasn’t that bad for him. He got to split with the old cow, and think how much he got compared to what he would have gotten if he’d been president and then former president. I ain’t talkin’ about money here, although I’m sure he scored more of that too thanks to losing in 2000.

The interesting thing about affirmative action is that it makes it logical to discriminate against even groups one has no bias against.

I realized this when I had Kaiser as my health care provider at one point. Kaiser let you scroll through their list of general providers who were accepting new patients and pick who you liked.

I’m very racist with respect to blacks, so of course they were right out. But then I realized I didn’t want a Hispanic doctor either. I don’t have any particular bias against Hispanics — really, no foolin.’ But Hispanic doctors as well might only have qualified by virtue of affirmative action.

So it was whites or Asians. I wound up with a nice Vietnamese woman, who proved to be just fine, thank you.

Jews have done so much harm.

People on meth or fentanyl or crack or tranq cannot function perfectly normally under the influence of their drug of choice. They are an unemployable danger to everyone around them.

And as for society paying for the consequences of the actions of the drug takers and drug dealers (psychological and medical attention), that is a classic case of the drug dealer profiting bcs he can do business without having to bear the negative externalities of his business.

Drugs destroy people, families and communities. Drug addicts cannot function in society or work and turn to prostitution, theft, robbery, pimping, dealing, kidnap and unlawful killing (through their reckless disregard for the lives lives of others). This is not the result of policing. It is the result of drug taking.

If we allow drugs to be freely available, who will pick up the tab?

The problem with modern enforcement is that it is neither sure enough nor forceful enough.

60,000-100,000 drug overdose deaths a year. It is a war on drugs in which only one side is taking fatalities.

If that figure became 60,000 drug dealers executed per year for a few years, we would soon have the problem well under control.

I hate to say it, but this article is spot on. I too am guilty of shopping around for my doctor. I simply cannot trust a Black doctor. And I think blacks, browns, and yellows are all the same human beings. It is their home life and environment that determines their potential. I believe in the untapped potential of the human mind. I believe in Nurture over Nature. I think the Bell Curve measures environment, not genetics.

The problem is that US Affirmative Action laws have destroyed TRUST in the black race. These laws have artificially promoted blacks into positions they are not qualified for; creating in some cases very dangerous scenarios – like neck surgery. Everyone familiar with Affirmative Action laws knows there is a very good possibility that Black Lawyers, Judges, Doctors…etc are, “bottom of the barrel”, last in their class, and are actually very stupid people who gamed the system. Look no further than Ketanji Onyika Brown and compare her resume with Amy Vivian Coney Barrett .

I have seen Affirmative Action my entire adult life. I have seen “Race Norming” on University admission tests. I have especially seen it in the Military. I remember a Commander’s Call at a local National Guard base, in which the commander stated, “The Demographics of this base does not reflect the greater community, from this day forward we will accelerate the promotion of minorities into leadership positions” (aka…women and people of color).

A year later you had all these women and other minorities with Master Seargent Stripes. It absolutely destroyed the morale of the white soldiers who had worked for years to earn their rank and the right to be tested, interviewed by a promotion board, and if qualified – promoted. The minorities promoted, especially the women, were unqualified fucking IDIOTS. It was a dangerous creation because some of these cows worked in aircraft maintenance. Oh, but they smiled and snatched up that paycheck and enjoyed a huge jump in retirement benefits, knowing all along THEY DID NOT EARN THEIR STRIPES. But hey, “Fake it until you Make It”. Stack that cash.

In the private sector, I literally have seen minorities (blacks) promoted over their white coworkers because the company was lopsided and was afraid of being sued. I have seen blacks lay up on their asses and do half the work of the white co-workers because they know the HR Department and their WHITE bosses are terrified of them and a lawsuit. They literally bully their White Fragile bosses.

I have seen blacks move into a company, with the sole intent to cash out. They record conversations, and emails, and keep daily journals of interactions —building the groundwork, waiting for the opportunity to cash out with a discrimination lawsuit. All of sudden you hear about them leaving the company and then through the grapevine, you learn the company settled a lawsuit and paid them a couple hundred thousand to just go away. Do you not think upper management and the HR Department and the Legal Department of every company are not aware of these tactics. These are known facts.

Have you noticed the quality of police departments in Democrat ran cities where there is a Black Police Chief installed (Was he or she Passed Along?) Is there more racism and corruption and ineffectiveness of that police department with blacks in charge???? What happened to South Africa after Apartheid ended? It appears to have devolved into a festering shit hole of corruption and chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cew-BnjA_q4

So, any rational person (brown, white, black, yellow, or red) should think twice about turning over their neck surgery or any other type of surgery to a BLACK doctor. Why would you take the risk of possibly getting assigned an unqualified Affirmative Action hack (who was passed along through high school, college, and medical school) taking a scalpel to your neck bones? Do you think the white hospital administrative staff would ever actually prosecute a black doctor for malpractice –or would they too…” PASS HIM/HER ALONG” to the next idiot patient? Do you think that a Black doctor would ever openly state; ” I failed my med school exams but graduated anyway” . You see I did not actually fail because a black man’s 58 score is the same as a white man’s 85 score —–Screw You Whitey!! Give me my damn paycheck bitch!!

Libertarians didn’t call for combined state/county/local retail sales/excise taxes of THIRTY to THIRTY-SIX percent on legal pot sales, as in California and Washington State. They didn’t call for the wholesale taxes on top of that, either.

Sell pot in stores with no hassle and only regular sales tax, then you’ll make illegal sales undesirable and unnecessary.
