So it's 10:43 on a Tuesday morning and I'm at my desk, sipping on my Chai tea and reading the new posts, getting ready to start the work day. What a tranquil time of day.

-drinks coffee-

Wintermoot replaces Chanku's coffee with milk.

-pours the milk into my coffee-

Wintermoot takes away the coffee.

It'll stunt your growth. Or something.

I want a milkshake!

Wintermoot gives Lumenland the desired milkshake.

Wintermoot hopes this doesn't bring all the boys to the yard.

In Soviet Russia, Milkshake brings all the boys into the yard, then they het shot in back of the head!

Wouldn't bringing the boys to the yard attract most of NS?

I like vanilla milkshakes ^o^

And I want cake too!

I'm watching a movie called Traffic right now. It's not exactly pleasant. How accurately does it describe the war on drugs in America? Because if it is accurate, I don't think you guys have a hope in hell of combating it, or at least the most heinous criminal aspects of it, without legalising it and regulating the shit out of it.

I dunno, I've never seen the movie o.o

There's no way to remove demand for drugs, so supply will rise to meet it through whatever means necessary except in the face of the most extreme oppression.

And it's not even a war worth fighting. You're telling people what to do with their own bodies, not stopping hitmen or something. If it's legal/regulated you can more readily identify the people who aren't using responsibly and get them the help they need. Instead we throw them in prison, making them feel even more alienated by a society that told them that their desires were immoral because reasons.

Plus the war on drugs has huge racist underovertones. Crack cocaine and coke have a huge sentencing disparity - 1 gram of crack results in the same sentence as 18 grams of coke. They are the same drug, but poorer people, especially black americans, tend to use crack and richer white people tend to use coke. Coke is in much broader use as well, with 12% of adults using compared to 4% with crack. Used to be 100 grams of coke per 1 gram of crack too. 

It's all such a gloriously disgusting losing war against nothing important that does no good and plenty of harm.

Well last night was full of self-loathing and I almost had a complete meltdown in public this morning, but now, I'm feeling mostly okay so that's good
