We had the film 'The House I Live In'¹
shown on the Isle of Man last night, a harrowing documentary into the
devastating effects of the war on drug users. It also highlights how
a whole economy has grown up around the war, which like slavery is
fed by the human suffering it causes². So yeah, harrowing but highly
recommended.
On
a more positive note journalist Amber Lyon has recently founded
Reset.me, a journalistic organisation reporting on the positive use
of psychedelics in the treatment of such mental health problems as
depression, anxiety, addiction and post traumatic stress disorder.
Ms. Lyon became involved in this after researching and using
psychedelics herself, after she began suffering from PTSD as a result
of the horrific things she wittness during her years as a journalist.
You can read her story, 'How Psychedelics Saved My Life', here -
I
make a point of always referring to the war
on drugs as the war
on drug users, because
that's what it fundamentally is. The term war
on drugs makes it seem
like it is the drugs themselves that are being targeted, insulating
us from the human victims. But it's not just a war on drug users,
it's also a war on all the people suffering from debilitating
psychological or even physical illnesses who could be helped by these
substances, but instead must continue to suffer and die because of the
State's prohibition. So essentially it's a war on all of us.
