> Sorry these people died. But the fight goes on. When the time comes, I'll help in what way I can to fabricate scientific studies that say that fentanyl helps with cancer remission or depression. This is one of the few ways to make it palatable enough for the public to make legal. Pain is insufficient to convince them, but disease often is. > It worked with weed. It worked in some places for shrooms. And it worked for ketamine. With a little bit of faked data, I think we can make it work for more things. Are you out of your mind? And you have no idea how many lives are being destroyed by easy access to weed. Teens unable to function day-to-day unless they've had some. They only thing they care about is when can they have some more, they schedule their entire lives around it. (I'm aware it's not physically addicting, but it is psychologically addicting.) I really don't understand what you think you are accomplishing with this.

Devil's Advocate mode engaged: Why are these teens living the sort of lives where being stoned all the time is the only way to function? A desire to be "stoned out" like you're describing, is frequently related (like any sort of escapist behaviour) with the life situation of the person seeking escape. Are they under psychological pressures that are driving them to seek escape? Just look at the massive rise in teen suicide, perhaps they are self-medicating rather than committing suicide? Are you tracking any of these teens as they become adults to correlate teenage weed use with adult weed use, the majority of teenage behaviours settle out as people mature and find a place to fit into life, with teenage life provided certain shelter from adult life pressure such as rent and food costs, the need to get a job often leads to people "turning their life around" (which can be viewed as classic goal oriented behaviour, I wanted X so i did what I had to do to get X) If you're going to claim that people have no idea how many lives are being destroyed by easy access to weed. I'm going to need you to cite something, heck even something as vague as "we see this kind of damage, but can't quantify how many teenagers are affected and need more follow up funding" would be a good start.

> I really don't understand what you think you are accomplishing with this. Freedom for people to live their life and treat their body with full agency without the government interfering. My body, my choice. Playing along didn't work because anti-freedom people are zealots who will never let individuals help themselves. Given that, we must all work with the openings we are provided. So depression and anxiety it is. And since anything formatted appropriately works if published, I'll make sure it's formatted correctly and published.
