Trip report, October FBI conference

Some of you talk about our (drug users) ability to democratically influence the country so it is okay that we are treated like sub-human animals because of this. I wonder, how do you people who are so obsessed with the laws of a democracy justify the absolute unconstitutionality of the war on drugs? Why is it that I am promised by the constitution that the government will not make laws favoring religions, yet I am banned from using Mescaline while Native Americans of certain religious backgrounds are given religious exceptions? Why am I banned from possessing DMT, a substance that occurs naturally in my brain, while members of the Church of Santo Daime are are given religious exception to this law? Why is it that youth under 21 are strictly banned from consumption of any alcohol, and yet the Catholic children are given exceptions for their communion?

Why is it that these religious exceptions to the controlled substance act exist, yet I am banned from using LSD, a drug that I use frequently and which provides me with spiritual experiences the likes of which I will never obtain from a church? Is my method of obtaining spiritual enlightenment less valid than taking Mescaline or DMT, which I am banned from doing regardless as I am not a member of the appropriate church to be given an exception to the law?

For that matter, why is it that when they prohibited alcohol it entailed a change to the constitution yet when they banned thousands of other recreational drugs no such change was required?

Oh and are we allowed to democratically change the laws? Not those of us who have been convicted of felonies resulting from the war on drugs! Additionally they make it very difficult for us to gain meaningful employment, or to obtain funding for higher education. As I said before, they treat us as subhuman animals. So spare me your talk of democracy. How can there even be a democracy here when the established powers pump out propaganda through every available channel, they falsify "scientific" studies to paint a picture in common perception that is inconsistent with reality.

My favorite analogy for what is happening is this; image two small and isolated populations of say thirty people each. In one of the populations, there is no illusion of freedom for the people, a small subset of them violently dictate the rules to the others. In the second population, the people are allowed to vote on the issues. Now imagine that there is some substance, I will use DHMO as the name of the substance. In the first population the powers desire to ban this and so they say that it is banned and will use violence against those who still come to possess or consume it. In the second population they put it to a vote, but the powers first mandate that at the schools they teach that it is a highly dangerous substance. Through the media they say that it is a highly dangerous substance, they give their official opinions that it is a highly dangerous substance as well. Now they allow the people to vote on the matter, people who have never before even heard of the substance.

Now the second population may have the illusion of being free, but in reality they are just as controlled as the first population. You cannot have a true democracy when the channels through which information flows are controlled by a select few! This is exactly what has happened with drugs. They have made up lies about drugs but disguised them as real science, they teach at the schools that drugs are horrible things, they spread through the media that drugs are horrible things. And then you say that we have a democracy because we can vote to say they are not? It is a facade of a democracy, it is only ostensibly a democracy! The masses are too ignorant and they are kept from the truth and they are indoctrinated to the goals of the powers, how is that freedom or democracy? It is merely a disguised form of totalitarianism!

I have been a drug user since I was a young teenager, I have tried every drug you can think of and many more. I still find that I am more intelligent than most who do not use drugs! Additionally, I am not a criminal, I do not steal from people I do not physically attack people, I do not put a burden upon society. And yet this society has made me into a criminal. They have made my friends into criminals, and they treat us as such. They are vicious animals, we are innocent people who merely desire to consume recreational substances! Where is the victim I have created? I am not a victim to myself, if such a thing could even be possible. I have harmed nobody, and yet these paramilitary troops try to find me to throw me into a cell maintained by a private prison industry that will be paid to hold me! And these paramilitary troops and private prisons spend their money funding these politicians and organizations that say they must spend more money to put more people like me into prisons, on the pretense that they are either "bringing justice to criminals" or "helping drug addicts", depending on their political affiliation. They force us to go to rehabilitation facilities staffed by ignorant social scientists who have only been taught to regurgitate propaganda, they force us to attend pseudo-support groups which more often than not are merely religious indoctrination groups (which is unconstitutional), they put us on probation and parole, etc. They are just using us as a fucking commodity, there is no difference between this and slavery! We are enslaved for their profits, not for ANYTHING else, and the penalties of their evil behavior are the deaths of thousands, the spread of disease, the spread of crime from street level gangs to cartels and the funding of terrorism! It is absolutely abhorrent, it is despicable and it is purely evil.
