"He was a known marijuana smoker."
Why does the news never mention alcohol when referring to someone's drug history?
"He was a known alcohol drinker."
It's a form of conditioning for the population. UK drug policy is not based on evidence. It is a non-evidence based policy. Many people in the UK will drink alcohol (which damages every organ in the body) without thinking about it, yet see a super food plant (which cures certain cancers and treats many diseases) as being criminal.
These people are living inside of the matrix, conditioned through loaded language, narrative, and social conditioning.

It is interesting for sure. Usually (at least in the states) the media will say "alcohol was a factor" or "drugs were a factor" when talking about incidents. It may be different here and especially being from Washington state where it's been legalized though.

UK news is always mentioning marijuana whenever it can, even if the story has nothing to do with drugs (it's done as if to associate the drug with criminals or criminal behaviour). I have never seen alcohol portrayed in such a way.

Hi @riskdebonair thank you for your post. All around the world and for at least 80 years the big pharma industry and lobby paid a big amount of money yearly to the law makers to keep the magical plant in the dangerous drugs and to punish the one who use it. Imagine how much they will use only by loosing the chemo therapy business. They are like bankster they just want to see their money growing whatever millions peoples will die from their shit medicine. Love and Happiness to all

Exactly right! I know it’s almost cliche to say “it’s a plant,” but that’s what it is - a freaking plant with a huge list of things people can use for more than just getting high!

I hate the bias with alcohol and marijuana. Alcohol is basically poison yet is readily available to consume just a walk away.

Hi, i think that some lobist doesnt like people to heal them selfes without using and buying their products. Maybe there are some other reasons too and for that reason maybe alcohol is allowed and marihuana isnt.h

It is difficult when people are raised in a system that teaches them to kneel and yield to authority, but we will succeed. Internet was a game changer, but we are still prone to misinformation from it, and things can be removed/manipulated. When internet goes blockchain we will take back control.

How about instead of "You have completed some achievement", you use" You have completed an achievement"?
"Some achievement" just doesn't sound great.
