Berenson is a pompous prick. So what. He has opinions, I have mine. Personally, I liked life a lot better when we could all discuss our opinions, without fear of being canceled by Big Tech, THE Karens, the Pot Party, and backdoor Deep State banning lists.

As a reformed pothead, I certainly don't think the government should ban it. But, what troubles me is the degree to which the use of marijuana is encouraged - not so much by the state, obviously, but rather by popular culture. I've found this curious for many years now. Nicotine (which makes people smarter) has the full weight of the establishment brought down to discourage its use; pot (which makes people stupider) is winked at and normalized. It's all social engineering, and none of it in our best interests. The state is one component but it's far from the only organ the managerial class uses to massage society into their desired shape.

I regret nothing (yet). Thanks for the shoutout! Taking shots at America makes me feel better about the dismal state of NWO affairs down here.

Berenson is a zealot about cannabis and...Ivermectin. When the "Together" trial came out, while many on substack ripped it apart pointing out how it was designed to fail, and yet still showed that it works, while the elite media held it up as the final nail in the coffin, Berenson was like, 'See, see fools, Ivermectin doesn't work for Covid.' in the comments of his substack, people often call him out about cannabis and Ivermectin, but he can be immune to reason.

I was for legalization in my teens because I smoked it and against legalization in my 20s because I grew it. So it all revolves around agendas and has nothing to do with health and safety. Now that I'm older I would love to be able to grow marijuana and opium in my back yard for medicinal purposes. I DON'T DO EITHER NSA, FBI and whoever else is monitoring our comments.

I raised a bunch of kids and I can tell you it's stupid to put something in a big black box with skulls on it and say, " Never open this scary box, kids. I did, and trust me, you don't want to." My boys would have it torn to shreds in an instant. They could tear up a stainless steel ball.

I have personally witnessed a teen boy plunge into psychosis from marijuana use.

It’s true and it’s real.

Anarchy where everyone can protect themselves is looking more appealing every day. It requires a moral populace. We still need Jesus as the authority. The Godless world is hell on earth.
