@Shurik pharmaceutical companies have spent billions in lobbying to keep weed and various other substances illegal and use their influence to manipulate US public opinion, actively suppoorted by the federal government. the "war on drugs" largely helped to perpetuate the public opinion that the evil "street drugs" will kill your children but the methamphetamine derivative your doctor prescribes to your 3 year old is perfectly safe. This has been going on forever, big pharma has no interest in treatment and every interest in profits.

That would be hilarious

And don't let them hear you shittalk him, they take it real serious

Like, for real

No I'm talking about his son

oh

The old King was a dope dude

Well, same probably applies to him?

Apparently Thailand tried to sentence some American to death for smuggling?

good

They got it reduced to 25 years

Does anyone remember what country makes the drug smuggler do all their drugs?

Yeah don't fuck around into Haviland

Thailand

I swear that's a thing I've heard of

Cebu City is the only place in the world where people pass on HIV by needle sharing more than is gets passed on through sodomy

thailand banned kratom, where is grows wild, because it competed with the opium trade

So dumb dude

Kratom is supposedly amazing @radeon

it is

I wanna get in on that rohingya scam that other country has going

I wanna get my hands on some

Can you buy on Amazon?

Seems like a great way for less than legitimate PMCs to get a start

Lawl

shitty photo but yea

Send me some

@radeon I'm aware. I still think they are necessary. Big pharma also drove 3 of the most prolific diseases into extinction.

Damn nigga you taking it by the hour

and is about to make aids go away

kratom is basically everything a traditional opiate is but it is far less addictive and has no known long-term health issues. on an addictiveness scale of 1-10 with 10 being heroin, nicotine is about a 5 and kratom is like a 2 or 3

I think that the US should annex the Philippines

@Shurik im not saying pharmaceutical companies are unneccesary, im saying they've extremely corrupt and have little interest in actually treating people

Like it's the same reason I'm ok with the US's military industrial complex. For all the shit it does it's also prevented a 3rd World War.

The most pro American country in the World

Only surpassed by Japan after their floods awhile ago

They already fucking did

they will knowingly sell you an addictive harmful substance as opposed to a safer alternative exclusively because it makes them more money, and then they'll pay to keep the alternative illegal and taboo.

Again

they're morally deficient
