Colombia’s president calls for cocaine legalization – “It’s as good as whiskey!”

Gustavo Petro sincerely believes that prohibition is only being upheld because cocaine is made in Latin America. At the same time, the Colombian leader is sure that since the powder is produced and… pic.twitter.com/oZeIzLcou0

If it were not for the blacks using cocaine to make crack, there wouldn’t really be a viable argument for banning cocaine.

It’s certainly nowhere near as dangerous as marijuana. Virtually all marijuana use is habitual, with users using it every day, whereas cocaine is not especially habit-forming, and is usually only used at parties or with friends on the weekend.

Cocaine can cause serious health problems, but so can virtually every type of “food product” sold in the United States.

I don’t encourage the use of cocaine, but people must have some kind of freedom.

RT:

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has claimed that cocaine is no worse than whiskey, arguing that the drug’s illegality stems from its Latin American origin rather than its effects. Petro made the remarks amid tensions with US President Donald Trump’s administration over deportation policies and recent threats to impose trade tariffs.

Colombia has long been associated with cocaine production, with significant portions of the global supply originating from the country. The drug is made from the leaves of the coca plant, native to Latin America.

“Cocaine is illegal not because it’s worse than whiskey, but because it’s produced in Latin America,” Petro said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The president apparently used whiskey for the comparison because the US is a leading producer and exporter.

Petro went on to argue that the “business” from criminal organizations engaged in drug trafficking could be “easily dismantled if cocaine were to be legalized around the world.”

“It could be sold like wine,” he said, claiming that the profits could be used to prevent underage consumption.

It was sold like wine, historically.

That was never considered a problem.

Why did it become a problem?

Because there was a lot of money to be made, and a lot of freedom to be stolen from the American people, by declaring a “drug war.”

These people in the US government do not care about your health. They allow every kind of poison to be dumped into your water supply, they allow food companies to sell you poison with no warning label, they try to force inject you with experimental gene therapy. There simply is not a serious argument that these government people are so concerned about your health that they have to protect you from cocaine by sending you to prison to deal with the blacks.

Drug abuse is a social problem. It is not a legal issue. Junkies should be imprisoned because they are a cancer on society, but that should not impinge on everyone else’s freedoms, nor should drug laws be used to create a massive criminal underworld that the federal government is able to make billions from.

The “drug war” is a result of the establishment of all of these intelligence agencies that effectively function like secret societies and operate as criminal gangs. If cocaine was the same price as coffee, no one would be making billions of dollars off of it, and if it were legal, private prisons would have a serious deficit of inmates.

This whole drug thing is yet another gigantic scam, especially when it comes to cocaine.

Fentanyl possession being a crime is a lot easier of an argument to make, but its effectively been decriminalized, while the US government somehow blames China for the fact that we’ve got junkies all over the streets making a complete mess.

Marijuana use is encouraged among the youth, despite the fact that it makes people into zombies.

None of this is designed to help you or your health. The entire US government operates as a criminal gang intent on harming the US population as much as they possibly can, so even engaging with it as if it is a serious institution in any way leads to ridiculousness.

I always wondered how all that cocaine got to Europe.

Turns out it was youths.

The Guardian:

Hundreds of unaccompanied child migrants across Europe are being forced to work as soldiers for increasingly powerful drug cartels to meet the continent’s soaring appetite for cocaine, a Guardian investigation has found.

EU police forces have warned of industrial-scale exploitation of African children by cocaine networks operating in western Europe in cities including Paris and Brussels as they seek to expand Europe’s £10bn cocaine market.

Child protection agencies warned that cocaine gangs, which are exploiting the “unlimited” supply of vulnerable African children at their disposal, are using brutal means to control their victims, including torture and rape if they fail to sell enough drugs.

This whole report is a bit racist, no?

I mean, black people torturing and raping little boys? Are we allowed to talk about something like that?

Sources told the Guardian that London may be next after police recently found a number of Moroccan and Algerian children, seemingly victims of torture, who they believe were trafficked into the country by cocaine gangs.

Concern over the level of exploitation was so great that in March, EU police forces – along with UK and UN agencies and Europol – met to discuss how to tackle the exploitation and trafficking of African children by drugs networks based in western Europe.

A separate recent assessment by EU police forces investigating serious organised crime and human trafficking concluded: “Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and France presented several concrete cases of the exploitation of hundreds of north African minors, recruited by drug trafficking networks to sell narcotics.”

Eric Garbar, head of human trafficking and smuggling at the Belgian federal judicial police, is one of the officers leading attempts to tackle the exploitation of unaccompanied children by criminal networks. He said: “With African minors, essentially Moroccan and Algerian, the most important area is the exploitation by OCGs [organised crime groups] involved in criminal activities such as drug trafficking.

“What we have in the EU is an unstoppable low-cost human resource from Africa.”

You could outlaw illegal immigration. Or legalize cocaine.

Or both.

Most problems have simple solutions.

Junkies are nearly as oppressed as trannies and niggers.

National Post:

For an NDP government that was looking to take a public stand against rising rates of drug-related disorder, the “playground” amendment was arguably among the least controversial things they could have done.

B.C. was already nine months into an unprecedented pilot project to decriminalize personal amounts of illicit drugs. Fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, meth, MDMA; so long as it was only 2.5 grams, by federal exemption it was now legal to possess illicit drugs basically anywhere in British Columbia.

The “playground” amendment — enacted on Sept. 18 — dialled it back ever so slightly. You could still possess illicit drugs without consequence, but you couldn’t do it within 15 metres of a playground, skate park or “outdoor spray pool or wading pool.” Schools and “child care facility premises” had already been written into the original decriminalization order.

According to the official text of the Restricting Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act, police were officially discouraged from arresting violators, and if anyone was found using drugs in child-centric areas, officers were instructed to “direct” them elsewhere.

That’s very authoritarian by Canadian standards.

But in an injunction issued just before the end of 2023, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that even this most delicate check against public drug use was a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In a Dec. 29 injunction, B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled that it would impose “irreparable harm” if drug users were warned away from public areas — even if that came at the expense of public parks filled with biohazardous drug paraphernalia and other “social harms” such as “unpredictable behaviour.”

“I … accept that the attendant public safety risks are particularly concerning given that many of the restricted areas and places in the Act are frequented by seniors, people with disabilities, and families with young children,” wrote Hinkson.

This fat fuck thinks he’s doing you a favour

Nevertheless, he concluded that given the severity of the overdose crisis, those concerns had to take second place.

“I am satisfied that the suspension of the Act … can be properly characterized as a substantial public benefit,” he wrote.

It’s just a temporary injunction until March 31, but the entire decision was premised on Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In essence, Hinkson ruled that B.C.’s attempt to restrict open drug use in public areas was a violation of “the right to life, liberty and security of the person.”

This, in turn, was premised on Hinkson accepting the assertion by the plaintiff — the Harm Reduction Nurses Association — that any restriction on drug use in public areas would prompt “lone drug use” and increase the number of British Columbians dying from fatal overdoses.

“It is apparent that public consumption and consuming drugs in the company of others is oftentimes the safest, healthiest, and/or only available option for an individual,” he wrote.

According to the decision, the counter-argument provided by lawyers acting for the Province of B.C. was that the Harm Reduction Nurses Association was mostly making its case with “anecdotal evidence, unsubstantiated conclusory statements” and “layers of unattributed hearsay.”

Hinkson accepted that this might be true, so he instead based his “irreparable harm” conclusions largely on the assertions of a 2022 Death Review Panel by the B.C. Coroner Service.

The B.C. Coroner Service has long been a vocal advocate of harm reduction, including a vast ramp-up in the province’s “safer supply” initiative. Hinkson cited their assertion that “criminalizing drug use behaviour ensures an ongoing public perception that it is deviant and shameful, creating a barrier to people seeking the support they need as well as requiring people to hide their needs for fear of criminal sanctions.”

“Given the evidence before me, I find that there is a high degree of probability that at least some of the harm set out by the plaintiff will in fact occur,” he wrote in a conclusion.

At its unveiling, the “playground” amendment was endorsed by some of the province’s most emphatically pro-harm reduction municipal leaders, including Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto. “As the longer-term effects of decriminalization are assessed … it’s important to consider and take steps that specifically protect children,” she said in a statement at the time.

The context for the amendment was the fast-rising appearance of tent cities across B.C., and mounting reports of drug-related crime and disorder around such sites.

This is no doubt going to be a boon to the city.

Tourists love this kind of vibrancy.

Families take a look at these scenes, and it gives them fond memories they’ll cherish for the rest of their lives.

Just part and parcel of living in utopia

You throw in a couple million refugees from Sierra Leone, and you’ve got yourself a city in competition with Disneyland for “the happiest place on earth.”

One of the main supporters of decriminalizing drugs is an NGO called Pivot Legal Society, which is staffed by the exact kind of people you’d expect it to be

This is scary.

It’s a vaccine that shuts off your brain’s ability to respond to cocaine.

We’re in the opening phase of an attempt at a mass biological transformation of the human race.

Japan Today:

Scientists in Brazil, the world’s second-biggest consumer of cocaine, have announced the development of an innovative new treatment for addiction to the drug and its powerful derivative crack: a vaccine.

Dubbed “Calixcoca,” the test vaccine, which has shown promising results in trials on animals, triggers an immune response that blocks cocaine and crack from reaching the brain, which researchers hope will help users break the cycle of addiction.

Put simply, addicts would no longer get high from the drug.

If the treatment gets regulatory approval, it would be the first time cocaine addiction is treated using a vaccine, said psychiatrist Frederico Garcia, coordinator of the team that developed the treatment at the Federal University of Minas Gerais.

The project won top prize last week — 500,000 euros ($530,000) — at the Euro Health Innovation awards for Latin American medicine, sponsored by pharmaceutical firm Eurofarma.

The vaccine works by triggering patients’ immune systems to produce antibodies that bind to cocaine molecules in the bloodstream, making them too large to pass into the brain’s mesolimbic system, or “reward center,” where the drug normally stimulates high levels of pleasure-inducing dopamine.

Frederico Garcia

Similar studies have been carried out in the United States — the world’s top cocaine consumer, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. But they stalled when clinical trials did not demonstrate sufficient results, among other reasons, Garcia says.

Calixcoca has so far proven effective in testing on animals, producing significant levels of antibodies against cocaine and few side effects.

It also protected rat fetuses against cocaine, researchers found, suggesting it could be used in humans to protect the unborn babies of pregnant addicts.

The vaccine is now set to enter the final stage of trials: testing on humans.

As Anglin says, “addiction is a behavior, not a disease.”

People make choices. Every time you choose to do drugs, you’re making a choice. You could choose not to do drugs.

If you’re making bad decisions, you need religion, not science. This idea of treating a behavior as a disease is fundamentally dehumanizing, as it denies the basic divine nature of man as having free will choice.

A vaccine is for “cocaine addiction” is an attempt at using science to engineer the decision-making process.

The hot air balloon driver just needed…. a little pick-me-up.

AP:

A mistake made by a hot air balloon pilot who had drugs including cocaine in his system caused a crash in 2021 in New Mexico that killed all five people on board, investigators have determined.

The National Transportation Safety Board said in its final report released this week that pilot Nicholas Meleski did not maintain enough clearance from power lines while trying to land. He hit the power lines and crashed into a busy intersection. The report said investigators found no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures.

I want to write a play about this story.

In fact, I want HBO to contract me to write and direct a mini-series like White Lotus about this hot air balloon crash.

Hot air balloons crashing is just funny no matter what. Because like, it’s moving so slowly.

Right? 

It makes it so much funnier that he was on coke.

Anyway, if I wouldn’t have become the world’s top advocate for forced child marriage, I would have liked to have been a hot air balloon driver.

Cocaine sharks are like regular sharks – except they are high on cocaine.

This is the new crisis – worse than the coronavirus, worse than BLM, worse than democracy in the Ukraine: sharks on cocaine.

New York Post:

Sharks lurking off of Florida’s coast may be eating bundles of cocaine dumped in the ocean by US-bound drug smugglers — and scientists want to find out.

With the massive amounts of drugs washing up on beaches and being pulled out of the ocean by authorities each year, marine biologist Tom Hird wanted to investigate whether or not sharks had ingested cocaine as part of a new TV series “Cocaine Sharks” — which will premiere during Discovery Channel’s beloved “Shark Week” next week.

In the program, Hird and University of Florida environmental scientist Tracy Fanara conduct a number of experiments on sharks off the Florida Keys, where fishermen have reportedly told tales about drug-addicted fish.

“The deeper story here is the way that chemicals, pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are entering our waterways — entering our oceans — and what effect that they then could go on to have on these delicate ocean ecosystems,” Hird told Live Science.

They’re actually making a film about this, in addition to the documentary show.

This comes after the “Cocaine Bear” movie.

For some reason, people have become fixated on animals taking cocaine.

I do not even have a theory as to why that is.

It’s retarded.

Why does the White House have carpet in the first place?

Carpet is really disgusting.

Haven’t people gotten the memo on that yet?

You can’t clean carpet.

RT:

The White House and the surrounding area were evacuated on Sunday as the Secret Service investigated an unknown substance found on the grounds that turned out to be cocaine, the authorities have confirmed.

The grounds were cleared “as a precaution” after the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division Officers spotted an “unknown item on the White House complex” at 18th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, a Secret Service spokesman told reporters on Sunday.

The Washington, DC Fire Department’s hazardous materials team was dispatched to evaluate the find, while the Secret Service closed down multiple streets in the area around the White House.

DC has the highest percent of homosexuals and the highest percent of cocaine users.

However, you would think there would be airport-style security at the White House, and no one would bring in cocaine unless they were relatively high-ranking. Even if you don’t think you’re going to get caught, bringing drugs through security would make someone nervous.

Furthermore: the only way it would be on the floor is if someone took it out to snort it and then spilled it somehow. Otherwise, you know – it’s in a baggy.

What’s more: it seems like it would have to be a lot to be seen. Usually people do “bumps” off of something about the size of the end of a car key.

You drop that much powder, and it’s just going to sort of float away like dust.

Someone must have dumped a load, as if they’d pulled it out for a party.

Or, I guess, it could have been a baggy. The White House didn’t say. If it was in a baggy, it could have fallen out of someone’s pocket when they pulled out their phone or whatever, and they didn’t notice it. A baggy with white powder would be visible.

It’s sort of an interesting story.

NOTE: I realize that much of the White House contains hardwood flooring with tasteful rugs. A lot of it, however – including the Oval Office – literally has carpet, like it was designed by M/I Homes.

Do niggas think that niggas don’t have to get paid?

Because if there is one thing niggas be has to do on the reg, it’s get paid.

New York Post:

A Brooklyn mailman was caught making special deliveries — kilos of cocaine — on the clock, authorities said.

Letter carrier Zarwardy Lewis, 35, was charged with drug distribution in Brooklyn Federal Court on Friday after the US Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General said he delivered at least three packages of cocaine to addresses across Brooklyn in December.

The probe began after authorities searched a package originating from the Caribbean destined for Bedford-Stuyvesant and found that it contained about two kilograms of cocaine, Special Agent Kyle Knieste said in court papers

The package, which has a street value of about $60,000 according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, was one of three parcels investigators tracked that came from the same sender, all with delivery addresses around Bed-Stuy, and Lewis delivered the other two packages while working his route.

Every time Lewis dropped off one of the parcels, he received $500 electronic payments from a woman named Evangeline Nery, according to court papers.

Investigators began conducting surveillance on Lewis and witnessed him making another alleged cocaine drop from his mail truck at Atlantic Terminal mall in Fort Greene on Jan. 26, Knieste wrote.

There, investigators watched Nery, 45, of the Bronx, give Lewis an empty plastic bag before going into the mall, Knieste testified.

Moments later, Nery emerged from the shopping center and retrieved the bag from Lewis’ truck although this time the bag seemed to have a large brick-like object in it, according to court papers.

Investigators later found a kilogram of cocaine in the bag and searched Nery’s cellphone, where they found messages with pictures, postal receipts, and packages like the ones Lewis had been delivering, Knieste wrote.

Lewis was arrested and allegedly admitted to agents that he delivered the cocaine to Nery for $500 per package.

Yeah, that was probably fentanyl.

A $500 package of real cocaine is not very much.

Hear that sound? That sweet, sharp sound?

That’s the train whistle blowing. We’re rolling out of patriarchal white supremacy.

Next stop?

Utopia.

Fox News:

One of the largest provinces in Canada is moving forward with a plan to become the first province in the country to decriminalize several hard drugs.

Starting on Tuesday, residents of British Columbia who are older than 18 will be allowed to carry up to 2.5 grams of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine and morphine, the BBC reported.

British Columbia was granted permission by the government to try out the plan for three years, when the drugs will still be illegal but those carrying less than 2.5 grams will not be arrested, charged or have the drugs confiscated.

Instead, residents carrying the drugs will be offered information on health and social services.

As of Jan. 31, 2023, adults aged 18+ in BC who possess 2.5g or less of certain illegal drugs for personal use will not face criminal charges. BC will be the 1st province to take this step to treat addiction as a health issue, not a criminal justice one. https://t.co/jAa8Ehmcqt pic.twitter.com/0yMqnvvp6k

— BC Government News (@BCGovNews) January 26, 2023

“Decriminalizing people who use drugs breaks down the fear and shame associated with substance use and ensures they feel safer reaching out for life-saving supports,” Jennifer Whiteside, the British Columbia minister for mental health and addictions, said about the plan.

Carolyn Bennett, Canada’s federal minister of mental health and addictions, said the move is a “a monumental shift in drug policy that favors fostering trusting and supportive relationships in health and social services over further criminalization”.

…

Many critics of the plan in Canada say it does not go far enough and that 2.5 grams is too low of a threshold that will not make a difference for users who consume large amounts of drugs.

“Decriminalization, to my mind, would be if you have a substance for personal use, then it’s for personal use, and the police should not have a role to play in that. … What you decide to use for your personal needs is your choice,” Lisa Lapointe, British Columbia’s chief coroner, told CBC.Some have publicly voiced opposition to decriminalizing drugs, including Chuck Doucette, president of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada, who said that “making drug use easier for them is kind of like palliative care.”

“It’s just condemning them to a slow death because of drugs, whereas if you get them off drugs, get them a life back, they can enjoy life,” Doucette said, the New York Times reported, adding that the plan is a “cop out” and that drug users should be provided help addressing the root causes “that led them to use drugs in the first place.”

This is literally just culling the population.

No one thinks this kind approach leads to less drug users or less drug deaths. The whole argument is that it’s nice. But of course, if you were a crooked elite that wanted large numbers of people dead, this is exactly what you would do.

You can then blame the victims for their own deaths.

Remember: as the bodies pile up in the streets, these people are telling you with a straight face that we are on the road to a utopia and the only thing in the way is white racism and the patriarchy.

It’s interesting that the overwhelming majority of these drug deaths are young white men, no? Seems maybe relevant. Perhaps.

First rule of Congress: you do not talk about the coke-fueled orgies.

Second rule of Congress: you do not talk about the coke-fueled orgies.

The Hill:

The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe into embattled Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) to determine whether he improperly promoted a cryptocurrency without disclosing he had a financial interest in it and whether he had an improper relationship with a staff member employed in his congressional office.

The announcement of the probe came on Monday, after the committee voted to establish an investigative subcommittee on May 11. The committee noted that establishment of an investigative subcommittee does not mean that a violation has occurred.

Cawthorn, a 26-year-old first-term congressman, lost his May 17 primary election to Republican state Sen. Chuck Edwards after a long string of scandals that included the two matters being investigated by the committee.

The outgoing congressman’s office is maintaining that he has done nothing wrong.

“We welcome the opportunity to prove that Congressman Cawthorn committed no wrongdoing and that he was falsely accused by partisan adversaries for political gain,” Blake Harp, Cawthorn’s chief of staff, told The Hill in a statement. “This inquiry is a formality. Our office isn’t deterred in the slightest from completing the job the patriots of Western North Carolina sent us to Washington to accomplish.”

If Matt Gaetz getting done up on fake jailbait charges didn’t send the message, then Madison Cawthorn getting run out of office and then investigated is going to send the message.

Congress is a club, and they do not tolerate the presence of people who are not on board with the club agenda.

The club agenda is Jewish, homosexual, and weird.
