RE: Drug War Stupidity: The Blind Leading the Blind

in #drug7 years ago

Thank you for the reply. That was a little before my time but I remember the same type of thing from the late 80's and beyond. I recall being forced to watch a feature length PSA called Cartoon Allstars to the Rescue when I was in elementry school where a bunch of popular cartoon characters show up to stop a kid from doing drugs (I'm pretty sure its on YouTube still and its pretty funny to watch as an adult). I can't say if it is any better for the kids now but I doubt it.

You are right. This has nothing to do with health and everything to do with protecting the legal drug dealers in society. I know how freely they give (or used to give) out pain killers. I one woke up on a saturday morning with an infected wisdom tooth. The dentist was closed until monday so I went to a walk-in clinic to get some antibiotics. I told them I was in a lot of pain (which I was) and needed something to get me through the weekend until I could go have my tooth taken care of and I was given more pain killers than I got after my knee surgery (I think it turned out to be a 90 day supply). That's the real drug problem in this country.

Thanks for reading.

Probably the Sonny Boner films are on YouTube as well. I'll check in a couple of days and let you know.

Thanks. That stuff is always fun to watch. Haha Beavis and Butthead used to call him Sunny Boner too.

That's because that was common in the early 70s. They used it on that animation probably do to the writers having to sit through those same films when they were in junior high.

That's history, eh?

Truth. Mike Judge was just about the right age for that too.

I hate to bother you, but I'd appreciate it if you'd check out the book I'm uploading to Steemit. It's called, Wackos to Obliterate. Book Two has a subplot that ties in with your focus on cannabis awareness.

I'll take a look. I went to your page and I checked out the first chapter of book one but it might take me a little time to get through the whole thing.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it. It'd be better to go to Book Two directly. It's only in Book Three where you realize that Book One needs to be read. Book Two, for the most part, is a separate story from Book One. In Book Three the two come together. Books Two and Three are more directly related to the issue of legalization.
