Free Advice and Opinions

Not too long ago, I wrote an essay about Tennessee’s “Unauthorized Substances Tax”, you will find it below. (I was in one of those moods, it has some crackly-crunchy delicious irony if I dare say so!)
Briefly, the Tennessee State legislature had enacted an unconstitutional tax bill that would allow a person who possesses or intends […]

Your stupid drug czar said we are terrorists because we smoke pot.
Then, is God the Ultimate Terrorist because He Created pot in the first place?
Reality: Pot, which is called “weed” because it grows robustly from Alaska to Argentina, is expensive because it is only available via the Black Market. The Black Market exists for […]

Dear Mr. Davis,
I have written to you before about the “War On Drugs”, which is in fact only a “war” on recreational use of certain drugs, but that’s not a politically palatable sound-bite.

How do you sleep?
How do you sleep, Takeda Drug Company? How do you sleep, FDA?
How much money do you, Takeda, pay to the FDA, in order that they grant you permission to say in your radio commercials that “Rozerem is non-habit-forming and couldn’t ever, ever, ever lead to abuse or dependence”?
