Joe Rogan demonstrates how easily Trump can get a BJ for the right price

Nothing says “serious drug policy” like Joe Rogan texting the president and Trump responding like he’s ordering mozzarella sticks. We have officially moved from peer review to bro review. Also, the same people who panic over librarians and drag queens are suddenly real chill about grandpa getting medical advice from a podcast guy in a sauna.

A few weeks ago, I saw Donald Trump, accompanied by a washed up whore and a giant Easter bunny set out of the White House and rant about Iran. Who needs hallucinogenics anymore?

Seriously, I used to be ibogaine curious and I spend a few years lurking in ibogaine communities online…..and I saw a whole lot of people suffer serious injury like psychosis and loss of intellectual capacity….and a whole lot of people that disappeared after their “healing journey”…I suspect they didn’t survive it…..I’m glad I “did my own research” and never tried it.

Take a moment to reflect that the President of the United States just said with his mouth that all it takes for him to fork over 50 million dollars of taxpayer money- and "fast track" an FDA approval mind- is a text from some random celebrity.

Part of Our Health Care now: Hours on the phone with insurance customer service, all of whom sound incredulous that you want to know what you're financially liable for before a procedure, and also incredulous that, no matter how many diagnosis codes or whatever they want, they are unable to tell you if it's covered, and they have no idea who you can call to find out for sure, but it looks like it's covered! Their answers are not official answers from the company that pays them, but everyone agrees that a Oija board has the same friendly attitude and inability to accept liability, plus the hold time is way shorter.

Ta, Marcie. Way back in the late 80s I knew someone who had invested in ibogana for ibogaine treatment. Her boyfriend was totally strung out on coke, and when he'd gone through the therapy had no desire for it, and even quit smoking cigarettes. YMMV.

We don't need drug trials for Ibogaine. We just need to ask Ed Muskie what it does, how it feels, and how much to take.

Ibogaine can actually be amazingly effective at treating addictions and other issues, however the therapeutic dose is very close to the toxic dose, so I expect if this arrangement actually turns into something real (26.45% chance?) that one or two "accidental" deaths later that will be it for what could have been a promising therapy.

Stinky cut off funding for all kinds of research that could help people. Like kids with cancer. But drugs that he wants? Damn he will find that money and fast even if he has to take it away from healthcare and food assistance to do it.

You just KNOW there's a gap -- a hole, maybe to facilitate passage of a tube? -- between the seat bottom and the bottom of the seat back where his bottom goes in the Resolute Chair, but for what?

The con artists are getting ready to cash in. Hair Führer will expect the usual kickbacks.

"He wrote me a little note about this and I had it checked out. Everybody came back with the same answer."

Narrator: "Trump didn't have it checked out. Nobody came back with any answers."

Wasn't that one of Raoul Duke's favorite drugs? Or am I thinking of Uncle Duke in Doonsbury?

Ed Muskie, allegedly

Just a reminder that today is 420, international pot day. So have a herb, eat some munches and go back to bed. You'll feel better for it.
