Drugs As Weapons and Racism As Political

I don't usually speak of politics but upon doing research on the dark side of psychedelics the pro-psychedelic crowd doesn't talk about, I found this podcast that seems to talk about the dark side of psychedelic substances has this article that details how racism can be institutional, not racist in the usual definition, and how the African American community has been exploited and deliberately targeted by the government: http://www.dosenation.com/listing.php?id=8836

I am not here to create racial tensions but to point out that yes, African Americans have been deliberately targeted by people in governmental power who were mostly white, not because they hated people because they were black, but because civil rights movements were a threat to their power. It's not about race but groups exploiting other groups for power. Drugs are dangerous substances, obviously, and they certainly can be used to destabilize groups. What was deliberately orchestrated against the African American community is absolutely inhumane and what both a lot of conservatives and liberals are doing are only making it worse. It is up for us all to fight against inhumane policies that destroy entire communities and engender tensions between races just so a few people can have more money and power. I've seen plenty of people of all the races who are good and bad. At school I had friends of various races and today when I go to the gym I see many different races working out together. Yes, Americans tend to be more accepting of races than a lot of other countries, but institutionalized racism that destroys entire communities is very real, and it is up to us to join together and help put an end to such things, and simple-minded "race-baiting" is only making it worse for us all. Although we the American people aren't the ones who orchestrated these monstrous acts, we have been manipulated into supporting them, such as Western governments invading and bombing the Middle East has fueled ISIS and religious fanaticism.

If you're wondering about me looking into the dark aspects of psychedelics, well I've noticed such substances have gotten very popular lately and there's almost an anti-rational psychedelic community convinced that such substances are the answer to everything, which I think points to a manufactured agenda. I may end up looking more into it and perhaps writing an article about what I find out about it but what I can say is there is evidence that drugs, and also psychedelics, were and are bring used to push social agendas and even destabilize movements and communities. We all know how bad drugs like cocaine and heroin are, but we also must acknowledge that contrary to the increasingly popular wisdom of how great they are, psychedelics are drugs that certainly can be abused and even used for agendas. I'd say the topic of substances such as LSD deliberately being spread for manufactured agendas is a pretty deep rabbit hole and something that goes against the current narrative of psychedelics being so wonderful, but the truth is the truth and I'm dedicated on finding out the truth. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and our society's increasing affinity for psychedelics sounds too good to be true and is only deluded at best, buying into manufactured psy-ops at worst.

As I like cartoon stuff, here's a comic made by a guy who cut open his own arm with a razor blade to put in heroin (Ellis Holly Chambers):
                                                  
Quite a beautiful comic for a guy with morbid drug habits.

Anyways, thanks for reading!
