Tangential but my mom was hysterical about me trying a weed edible (legal here in CA for years now) going off about how it’s a gateway drug and stuff despite me explaining different drugs’ effects being completely different and the only thing that “drugs” even means is as a legal category for various chemicals and plants.
Months later she hears a podcast episode from Freakonomics or something about experimental therapies that use Molly and immediately starts suggesting I ask my psychologist about it. Lol
my family chastises me for eating edibles but recently recommended i take hydroxychloroquine for my corona
like what do you want me to have liver failure lol
Lead-poisoned Senators aren’t the only reason Rome collapsed, but it certainly helped. 😎
the man ended MKULTRA and criminalized LSD when they realized you can’t use psychedelics to manipulate people in a predictable or productive way
psychedelics also happen to be extremely unprofitable due to the large duration between doses and the absence of addictive potential
so no this is not happening

MKULTRA ended up being more about perfecting torture through sensory deprivation/overload than mind control. The mind control stuff was a limited hangout to give the illusion of transparency after the existence of the program came to light. The Shock Doctrine has a good recap of this and its use in the global implementation of neoliberalism, the juicy bits are in the free preview on Google books if you want to check it out
Yeah, I just like regular dosing, like a true communist
I get the “ha ha legal meth” and the “productivity drug” perspectives on adderall but I really feel so much more like myself when I take it, it just cuts down the noise in my brain and lets me do one thing at once until I finish it — for me it’s not about being more productive for capital, it’s getting a reprieve from having like six competing trains of thought which is super exhausting.
