There’s no such thing as a free buzz.

Victory over the dark

It is rather a wonderful thing to know that you have a plan for humanity that will solve all its problems and set the world on a path to supreme felicity and fulfilment. Your loyal and dutiful Substacker has just such a plan, which he is pleased to unfold before you now.

First, we need to talk about drugs.1 All drugs, that is, BUT ONE. We will come to THAT DRUG, the one that MUST BE BANNED, we will come to that soon enough. (Forgive the eruption of Trumpian ALL CAPS)

The cohorts

Two almost opposite things are true.

  1. A large proportion of the people you meet have never tried so much as a puff of weed in their whole lives.

  2. A large proportion of the people you meet have experienced more drugs in more forms than you ever will.
