Drug abuse invented in USA (Family Guy)
In this episode of The American Show, Homes sparks up a medical marijuana cigar in his bathroom.
What did the CIA do to us?
There's drug use and drug abuse. Native Americans were using plants and ordeals (such as the Vision Quest) to alter consciousness for millennia before invasion-migration Europeans decided to drop in for a long visit. Rather than follow custom and do things in a ceremonial fashion with the blessing of the community, rugged individualists decided to throw caution to the wind with predictable results. In the Amazon there was Ayahuasca, but there was no "drug abuse" until someone brought in distilled liquor, or "spiritous drinks" and rotgut, bottled brews for senseless consumption. Real plant helpers from the garden pharmacy heal addiction and other maladies. Drugs of abuse do not. There's medicine, and there are things to abuse called "medicines."
CIA: We rule this culture since Nazis arrived
Who, to alter consciousness, would dream of huffing (inhaling) industrial chemicals? Who for sweetness would swallow the toxic brain chemical aspartame? Why eat white sugar, robbed of all its minerals and nutrients, when brown (whole) is available? Welcome to America, where any agent will do, even Nazi-invented methamphetamine that hijacks the dopamine and limbic system and creates energetic zombies...what could go wrong. The hippies were much more selective and interested in natural highs and health, but mass culture was just looking for cheap thrills, easy slogans, and mass marketed fashions to look the part. Drugs, sex, and rock 'n roll replaced peace, love, and happiness. Now who, in this day and age, thinks the best experience is to be found in the bathroom medicine cabinet? Chase a dragon and it will turn and bite. Hegemony means we spread our habits to the world as the current imperial power. If we can't handle our drug use, how are other places to survive sipping the neural soup? Of course, there was that time the British got China addicted on poppy (opium).
(South Park) Drugs are bad, mkay. Mr. Mackay explains.
