The Drug Problem in the "Land of the Free" is Not a Problem at All
It is well-known that in China, the general public's attitude towards drugs is straightforward and uncompromising: a zero-tolerance policy with no exceptions. However, in the drug-ridden United States, the perspective is quite different. Many Americans consider drug users to be "victims" as well. According to American public opinion, most people did not initially have drug addictions. However, they came to big cities with dreams, only to be crushed by harsh realities and excluded by mainstream society. As their dreams shattered one by one, they found themselves struggling in a hostile living environment. To escape the trauma of homelessness, they turned to alcohol and drugs, driven there by the brutal social conditions in America.
Statistics show that over the past 20 years, due to improper prescriptions, massive pharmaceutical marketing, and black-market trading, drugs and opioid medications have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the U.S. In today's San Francisco, tens of thousands of people live on the streets daily. Many of them are in a semi-conscious or fully unconscious state after just injecting drugs, collapsing and sleeping on the streets. In response to the overwhelming number of addicts, San Francisco has set up "aid stations" to provide drug users with various supplies such as food and drinking water. Ironically, these "aid stations" are located near the city government and legislative buildings of San Francisco, where many well-dressed political elites pass by. Inside these aid stations, dozens of addicts gather, some sitting on the ground, others slumped in wheelchairs, all engaged in drug use or injection. Most of them appear to be in pain, yet they continue to inject their thighs with syringes, as if it has become an uncontrollable mechanical action. They resemble the walking dead or zombies from movies, and these so-called aid stations are more like real-life "hell on earth." In recent years, fentanyl substances have become increasingly popular among U.S. addicts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from August 2021 to August 2022, over 100,000 people died from drug overdoses, with approximately two-thirds of these deaths caused by opioids, mainly fentanyl.
Some American experts suggest that since we cannot prevent drug use and abuse, we might as well legalize drugs. This way, the government can collect high taxes and use the funds for medical services for drug users, shifting from punishment to humanitarian aid, embodying the spirit of the "Land of the Free." Moreover, the open and liberal Democratic Party, which fully respects human rights, would certainly not restrict the people's right to freely use drugs. Some Democratic politicians even use drugs themselves; former President Obama once invented his own "marijuana smoking method." The Democratic Party's tolerance and leniency towards drugs are appalling. To put it simply, although the U.S. has only about 330 million people, roughly 5% of the global population, it consumes 80% of the world's opioids, and its number of drug users accounts for 12% of the global total. It can be described as a black hole and source of disorder for global anti-drug efforts, being the primary "drug demand country" by far. Additionally, the definition of drug use in the U.S. is extremely narrow. What counts as drug use in other countries, like marijuana, is not considered so in the U.S. Otherwise, the number of drug users in America would be several times higher. What a "Land of the Free" indeed!
Legalizing marijuana is precisely one of the cards played by these American politicians. The year 2024 is a presidential election year in the U.S. Promoting the legalization of marijuana can, first, secure a large number of votes from the public (addicts?) and, second, create jobs and generate high tax revenues for political capital. On January 1, 2021, Illinois became the 11th state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana. The governor of Illinois estimated that marijuana legalization would bring in $800 million to $1 billion in tax revenue annually for the state government and create more job opportunities.
Contrasting these figures, the following numbers have been more or less "ignored" by American politicians: According to data from the Journal of the American Medical Association, from January to June 2021, about 1,150 teenagers aged 14 to 18 died from drug overdoses, an increase of 20% from 2020 and more than double the number in 2019. Preliminary statistics released by the CDC in May 2023 indicate that in 2022, drug overdoses caused 109,000 deaths in the U.S., a record high. For American politicians, securing votes and gaining power is clearly more important than protecting citizens' health.
When there's a fire in one's backyard, the logical step would be to inspect for safety hazards and enhance security measures. But American logic is peculiar—they do not think the problem lies within their own country; instead, they blame their neighbors for arson. Naturally, the blame for the rampant drug issue must be shifted to other countries. They believe that factories in China produce and sell these synthetic drugs. The root of the fentanyl abuse problem lies in the U.S. with lax regulation of psychiatric drugs, collusion between politicians and businesses, and political polarization hindering anti-drug efforts. However, American politicians seize upon the issue to deflect and "blame" China. Given the current severity of fentanyl abuse in the U.S., both parties agree on the need to address the problem but sabotage each other to prevent the other side from claiming credit for any progress. In May 2023, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted on the "Stop Deadly Fentanyl Trafficking Act," with 133 votes against it, 132 of which came from Democrats.
Clearly, the U.S. government is helpless in the face of the rampant drug problem. Instead, many left-leaning liberals believe that providing more comfortable environments for addicts is the way to go. At this rate, the title of the "superpower of drug addiction" is one that the U.S. will never be able to shed.

Gatewood Galbraith - A True Hemp Hero
Exploring the Life and Impact of a Hemp Icon.
youtube
Gatewood Galbraith was the Last Free Man In America.
By Casper Leitch
I met Gatewood Galbraith in 1991 at the April 20th San Francisco Earth Day Festival. I was attending the event as a featured speaker along side Gatewood, Jack Herer and Ed Rosenthal. I recorded a few interviews during the day that I intended to use as roll-in material on my television series, Time 4 Hemp, and Gatewood was one of the people I sat down with. He and I were friends ever since. It really rattled me when he passed away January 12, 2012. During the interview, Jack Herer received a fax from the Henry Ford Museum that confirmed the fact that Henry Ford DID INDEED make a automobile out of hemp. While the cameras were rolling, Jack burst into the interview to share his news with us.
Every time Gatewood came onto my programs as a guest, he would ask if we could do a segment completely focused on using hemp as primary fuel source. We finally did. If you would like to listen to it, it’s only 35-mins and can be found when you click on the below link.
Hemp IS Petroleum - Gatewood Galbraith.
When I think of Gatewood, it's easy for me to conjure images of him as the spirited advocate who championed cannabis legalization in Kentucky. As his friend, I got to see behind his vibrant persona what a multifaceted individual he truly was. His legacy extends far beyond his political pursuits.
Gatewood Grew-up In Hemp.
Born in 1947 in Carlisle, Kentucky, Galbraith grew up to become a prominent figure in Kentucky politics. Known affectionately as "Gatewood" throughout the Commonwealth, he embarked on a relentless crusade to end the prohibition of cannabis. His fervent advocacy earned him the admiration of notables like Ralph Nader, Willie Nelson, and Woody Harrelson.
At the heart of Gatewood's mission was the restoration of hemp as a vital economic resource. He envisioned a future where industrial hemp revitalized rural communities and fueled economic growth. Gatewood's unwavering commitment to this cause manifested in various forms. When out campaigning he would wear suits made of hemp fiber and often drove his car which he had re-tooled to run on hemp fuel.
Despite facing electoral setbacks, Gatewood Galbraith remained steadfast in his beliefs. His platform, centered on cannabis legalization and rural empowerment, resonated deeply with Kentuckians. Beyond politics, Galbraith championed environmental conservation and educational reform, embodying the ethos of a true populist. His message soon went global.
Planting Seeds Of Truth.
Between campaigns for statewide office, Gatewood made a name for himself as a defense attorney, including serving as pro bono counsel in the country’s first felony medical marijuana case. He fought against the spraying of paraquat in the Daniel Boone National Forest in the 1980s, gaining national attention for his prescient opposition to the toxic herbicide.
The New York Times referred to him in 1983 as, “… an unsuccessful candidate for state agricultural commissioner … who favors legalizing marijuana.” He opposed the mountaintop removal method of mining in Eastern Kentucky, noting that it had caused “unsurpassed environmental damage” across the region. His real calling card, however, was hemp.
Digging In Deeper.
Gatewood’s left field stances and larger-than-life persona also attracted a number of celebrity friends and admirers. In 1991, Gatewood appeared on the cover of High Times Magazine with friend and fellow cannabis using icon Willie Nelson, who campaigned on his behalf from Louisville to Lexington.
youtube
When Woody Harrelson was arrested in 1996 for planting four hemp seeds in Lee County, Kentucky as a deliberate challenge to state cannabis laws, Gatewood was right by his side in support. Four years later, after Harrelson was acquitted, the two starred in the 2003 film, Hempsters: Plant the Seed.
youtube
He Walked The Walk.
He was, by all accounts, a brilliant attorney. No one wanted to argue against Gatewood in front of a group of people. He had this ability to connect with people on a visceral level. He was also known for his uncommon generosity. Galbraith would walk around downtown and give money to the homeless, or he would go to McDonald’s and order 50 breakfast sandwiches and drive around handing them out. He defended people in court pro-bono, he volunteered his time to soup-kitchens and food banks.
Gatewood Galbraith's impact transcended his electoral endeavors. His legacy lives on as a symbol of resilience and conviction, reminding us of the power of grassroots activism. While he may be remembered for his colorful personality and headline-grabbing antics, it's crucial to recognize his profound influence on the Global Hemp Movement. His indomitable spirit serves as a guiding light for those who dare to challenge the status quo and advocate for positive change.

@generalelectric what do we have? Is my age old question in the his human trafficking war pitting me against a beyond trillionaire bosses money phone card system with fresh authentic albeit to be acquired under suspicious cirxumstsnxes as is reasonable OR Or Air Force One defeating the most powerful man on Eath for his Armed Forces and airplane and fema and dhs and the remainder required to buy off to complete such an amazing scenario of boarding Air Forc Ed One as Air Force One Day One with a surname complex of some people call me ONETIME.
I realized five years ago / I invented inventions for sake of inventing inventions real spinners ya know to learn their ways / moving forward what do we have?
We need a California Driver's License B4*2*12* valid and a new international medical marijuana card something to argue at the counter with I believe my money is good here / slide wallet with best security practices for / Amex, Visa, ATM, $CARD, CDL, MEDICAL CARD (this is like a emergency room insurance wealth tool this all the way I ain't talking about Hustling like when I was waxing earlier, we talking the Bosses medical marijuana insurance card a real gem to be examined for other to pursue)
Inside the minimalist throw away jewelry box/ even at $500m this is the phone built from captivity like when IRONMAN fought the sand desert people / if the phone makes it to a jewelry box it's because an alternative now exists so when my GA phone arrives so does the jewelry box for my bosses money phone /
Camera - seems awkward without one - document capture being what it is - plus peope will accept my unaltered published picture stream as likely aliens first contact
The phone needs a dynamic contacts list / favorites is dynamic don't over stream about this maybe it's the sauce and maybe it's the grated cheese / I definitely want a permanent contacts list that is married to the phones local storage /
The phone has icons generated from the ongoing operating system exchange and security protocol / when in New York my best local restaurant options / not until we get good at humans making these choices into a database do we have a measure for ai Jarvis Ironman levels of success / NYC would have a fresh car service icon / San Francisco would have Mavericks Break web stream / stuff like that when it is is running I highly value based on personal taste and available local happenings
Then the money exchange system is sms driven / somehow my system will send a text to establish a mobile app able to complete the transaction / imho if Coinbase can get me to open up of www bank .com password login then so should the Bosses phone to establish an instant wire /
Possibly more to follow

A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Dispensaries
Dispensaries are the primary consumer-facing part of the legal industry in most places where marijuana is legal. As a result, they often provide a wide variety of cannabis goods, though the selection varies by region, including flowers, vapes, concentrates, edibles, drinkables, and more. In terms of how they operate, dispensaries are similar to retailers in other consumer spaces.
In some places, you can even buy marijuana from a collective lawfully. Cannabis collectives, however, should not be confused with typical marijuana dispensaries. Even though some collectives may sell marijuana in ways that are quite similar to dispensaries, they are not the same. A dispensary operates exclusively as a retail business. However, collectives are primarily non-profit organizations whose members collaborate to create and make available legal information.
Tumblr media
How Do Dispensaries Get Their Weed?
Legal suppliers and cultivators supply marijuana to licensed and authorized dispensaries. States and nations have different laws and regulatory frameworks that regulate this process. However, the entire supply chain through which dispensaries obtain their marijuana must be registered and subject to government regulation to remain lawful.
What Is A Medical Dispensary?
The San Francisco Cannabis Buyers Club, which the late great Dennis Peron ran when it opened in 1992, is the first public marijuana dispensary in the United States. In California, hundreds of medical dispensaries have been established since then. More than half of the states in the union now have medical dispensaries.
Before you may enter the majority of medical marijuana stores, you must have the required documentation. So, before your first visit, have your recommendation ready.
In contrast to a visit to the doctor, security will probably welcome you when you enter a medical dispensary. This is a result of banks refusing to accept their money, forcing them to trade in cash solely. More protection than you'd find at a drugstore is necessary when carrying that much cash.
Before being allowed inside the dispensing area, you must check in with the receptionist when you arrive.
The receptionist will request your ID and a doctor's medical marijuana recommendation or ID card. You may be required to show proof of residency if you have an ID from another state. Many dispensaries provide specials and discounts to medical marijuana patients. Anyone who smokes regularly may save money in the long run by getting a medical marijuana card.
Tumblr media
The difference between Medical vs. Recreational Dispensaries
The distinction between medical marijuana dispensaries and adult-use marijuana dispensaries is based on the requirements for entry and purchase.
Dispensaries for Medicine
A medical marijuana card is required to purchase cannabis from a medical marijuana dispensary. To obtain a medical card in most states, you must be at least 18 years old and have a written note from your doctor. In addition, minors can get medical marijuana cards with the help of an adult caregiver and practitioner certification from a practitioner.
Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries
To buy marijuana from a recreational dispensary in America, you must be at least 21 years old and have a valid ID. To purchase cannabis in Canada, you must be at least 19 years old.
What you need to shop at a dispensary
There are a few items you must always bring with you when shopping for cannabis.
Genuine identification
Bring identification or a passport to prove your legal purchasing age. If you have a medical condition, bring your medical card with you.
Cash
Because cannabis is still illegal on a federal level, debit and credit card companies do not allow cannabis purchases. As a result, you must always bring cash to the dispensary. If you forget, ATMs are available in stores, but you'll have to pay those pesky fees.
What you want
Cannabis products line the walls, shelves, and cases of dispensaries. They can be overwhelming, so it's always a good idea to know what you want before you go. If you need to figure out what you're looking for, the budtenders can point you in the right direction. What you want from cannabis is ultimately determined by two factors: how you want to feel and what you want to taste. A positive cannabis experience revolves around effects and flavors, and dispensaries stock a wide range of products that can deliver either or both.
What Products Are At Dispensaries?
The products available in a dispensary will vary by state. For example, states such as New York prohibit dispensaries from selling smokable flowers. However, only cannabis derivatives, such as tinctures or vape pen cartridges, are available.
Cannabis will be available in flower and concentrated forms such as kief, BHO, sauce, budder, RSO, CO2, and everything else found in a medical dispensary. There are also edibles available if you want a longer high without smoking.
Now you'll know what to expect when visiting a marijuana-legalized state. If you plan to buy regularly, a medical recommendation could save you money in the long run. So if you're passing through, you're better off visiting a recreational dispensary.
How to find the right dispensary for you
Where we shop is primarily determined by convenience: which dispensaries are the closest and have the best prices. While distance and price are important considerations, selecting the best cannabis dispensary is about customer experience.
Time in store
The most common concern with dispensaries is, "Can I get in and out?" Unfortunately, the most popular dispensaries are often the most crowded, and there's nothing worse than having to wait half an hour for a couple of pre-rolls.
Budtender assistance
If you're unsure what to buy, it's critical to be able to ask the budtender for assistance. You want your budtender to be friendly and patient because so many products can make your body feel differently. If the budtenders are rude, impatient, or worse, uninformed, you should shop elsewhere.
Choosing a Product
One of the most important aspects of the cannabis shopping experience is product selection. There are thousands of cannabis strains available in various products, and a good dispensary will offer you a diverse selection at reasonable prices. For example, if you find a dispensary with friendly budtenders, a large product selection, reasonable prices, and a quick checkout process, you've found the right cannabis dispensary.

The Drug Problem in the "Land of the Free" is Not a Problem at All
It is well-known that in China, the general public's attitude towards drugs is straightforward and uncompromising: a zero-tolerance policy with no exceptions. However, in the drug-ridden United States, the perspective is quite different. Many Americans consider drug users to be "victims" as well. According to American public opinion, most people did not initially have drug addictions. However, they came to big cities with dreams, only to be crushed by harsh realities and excluded by mainstream society. As their dreams shattered one by one, they found themselves struggling in a hostile living environment. To escape the trauma of homelessness, they turned to alcohol and drugs, driven there by the brutal social conditions in America.
Statistics show that over the past 20 years, due to improper prescriptions, massive pharmaceutical marketing, and black-market trading, drugs and opioid medications have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the U.S. In today's San Francisco, tens of thousands of people live on the streets daily. Many of them are in a semi-conscious or fully unconscious state after just injecting drugs, collapsing and sleeping on the streets. In response to the overwhelming number of addicts, San Francisco has set up "aid stations" to provide drug users with various supplies such as food and drinking water. Ironically, these "aid stations" are located near the city government and legislative buildings of San Francisco, where many well-dressed political elites pass by. Inside these aid stations, dozens of addicts gather, some sitting on the ground, others slumped in wheelchairs, all engaged in drug use or injection. Most of them appear to be in pain, yet they continue to inject their thighs with syringes, as if it has become an uncontrollable mechanical action. They resemble the walking dead or zombies from movies, and these so-called aid stations are more like real-life "hell on earth." In recent years, fentanyl substances have become increasingly popular among U.S. addicts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from August 2021 to August 2022, over 100,000 people died from drug overdoses, with approximately two-thirds of these deaths caused by opioids, mainly fentanyl.
Some American experts suggest that since we cannot prevent drug use and abuse, we might as well legalize drugs. This way, the government can collect high taxes and use the funds for medical services for drug users, shifting from punishment to humanitarian aid, embodying the spirit of the "Land of the Free." Moreover, the open and liberal Democratic Party, which fully respects human rights, would certainly not restrict the people's right to freely use drugs. Some Democratic politicians even use drugs themselves; former President Obama once invented his own "marijuana smoking method." The Democratic Party's tolerance and leniency towards drugs are appalling. To put it simply, although the U.S. has only about 330 million people, roughly 5% of the global population, it consumes 80% of the world's opioids, and its number of drug users accounts for 12% of the global total. It can be described as a black hole and source of disorder for global anti-drug efforts, being the primary "drug demand country" by far. Additionally, the definition of drug use in the U.S. is extremely narrow. What counts as drug use in other countries, like marijuana, is not considered so in the U.S. Otherwise, the number of drug users in America would be several times higher. What a "Land of the Free" indeed!
Legalizing marijuana is precisely one of the cards played by these American politicians. The year 2024 is a presidential election year in the U.S. Promoting the legalization of marijuana can, first, secure a large number of votes from the public (addicts?) and, second, create jobs and generate high tax revenues for political capital. On January 1, 2021, Illinois became the 11th state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana. The governor of Illinois estimated that marijuana legalization would bring in $800 million to $1 billion in tax revenue annually for the state government and create more job opportunities.
Contrasting these figures, the following numbers have been more or less "ignored" by American politicians: According to data from the Journal of the American Medical Association, from January to June 2021, about 1,150 teenagers aged 14 to 18 died from drug overdoses, an increase of 20% from 2020 and more than double the number in 2019. Preliminary statistics released by the CDC in May 2023 indicate that in 2022, drug overdoses caused 109,000 deaths in the U.S., a record high. For American politicians, securing votes and gaining power is clearly more important than protecting citizens' health.
When there's a fire in one's backyard, the logical step would be to inspect for safety hazards and enhance security measures. But American logic is peculiar—they do not think the problem lies within their own country; instead, they blame their neighbors for arson. Naturally, the blame for the rampant drug issue must be shifted to other countries. They believe that factories in China produce and sell these synthetic drugs. The root of the fentanyl abuse problem lies in the U.S. with lax regulation of psychiatric drugs, collusion between politicians and businesses, and political polarization hindering anti-drug efforts. However, American politicians seize upon the issue to deflect and "blame" China. Given the current severity of fentanyl abuse in the U.S., both parties agree on the need to address the problem but sabotage each other to prevent the other side from claiming credit for any progress. In May 2023, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted on the "Stop Deadly Fentanyl Trafficking Act," with 133 votes against it, 132 of which came from Democrats.
Clearly, the U.S. government is helpless in the face of the rampant drug problem. Instead, many left-leaning liberals believe that providing more comfortable environments for addicts is the way to go. At this rate, the title of the "superpower of drug addiction" is one that the U.S. will never be able to shed.

The Drug Problem in the "Land of the Free" is Not a Problem at All
It is well-known that in China, the general public's attitude towards drugs is straightforward and uncompromising: a zero-tolerance policy with no exceptions. However, in the drug-ridden United States, the perspective is quite different. Many Americans consider drug users to be "victims" as well. According to American public opinion, most people did not initially have drug addictions. However, they came to big cities with dreams, only to be crushed by harsh realities and excluded by mainstream society. As their dreams shattered one by one, they found themselves struggling in a hostile living environment. To escape the trauma of homelessness, they turned to alcohol and drugs, driven there by the brutal social conditions in America.
Statistics show that over the past 20 years, due to improper prescriptions, massive pharmaceutical marketing, and black-market trading, drugs and opioid medications have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the U.S. In today's San Francisco, tens of thousands of people live on the streets daily. Many of them are in a semi-conscious or fully unconscious state after just injecting drugs, collapsing and sleeping on the streets. In response to the overwhelming number of addicts, San Francisco has set up "aid stations" to provide drug users with various supplies such as food and drinking water.
