2017 has been a great year for the medical industry, Evermore people are using pharmaceutical drugs to deal with their symptoms and ailments and the industry will continue to grow in 2018.

The war on drugs continues, $50+ Billion spent annually in the U.S. on the war on drugs. Over 1,572,579 arrests in 2017 for drug law violations in the U.S. alone.

---

Number of these arrests that were for possession only: 1,249,025 (84 percent) (LINK)

Everything going as plan? If you answer yes you might be suprised by the narrative I have compiled for you...

Before we get down to the elephant in the room let's get some facts straight.

What is a Drug

There are two different types of drugs!

One of them is deemed a evil substance which has a very psychedelic, mind altering and sometimes even spiritually awakening effect.

These drugs usually take the form of completely natural and safe substances.

The other is a very safe trial tested pharmaceutical drug.

Has little to no plant matter after it has been extracted and put through multiple purification processes and mixed with more chemicals.

Most of us who still think that all "illegal drugs" are dangerous most likely not aware that prescription opiates cause more addiction and death than illegal drugs.

They are also legal and being over prescribed to the max.

The Problem With Today's Drug's Laws

We all have to acknowledge that there are drugs which have different uses.

What we are only just starting to uncover is that grouping natural mind altering drugs together with chemically procured drugs is unfair because:

We have been taking Ayahuasca in the Amazon for centuries.

We most certainly were not taking painkillers or popping aspirin for centuries.

There are even theories of how Psychedelic Mushrooms played a role in our evolution and answer our missing link mystery.

One of my favorite philosophers Terrence Mckenna talks about his "stoned ape theory" in depth in this video.

An Opiate Medication you take when you break your leg...

Will never stand a chance as being a step in our evolution...

But a psychedelic drug naturally found on our planet does..

What Do I think about Pharmaceutical Medication?

The pharmaceutical industry has done many things that was thought impossible by humans at the time.

However, just because they are innovative does not mean they are perfect and just because their drugs are marketed to be safe does not cut it for me! How much damage should we let pharmaceuticals cause for us?

I have personally never been vaccinated, this is because I believe that vaccines may contain several "preservatives" which cause more harm than the vaccines themselves.

I also fend off most of the ailments I catch using natural alternatives if I can.

This has been one of the best things I have done in my short life to keep my life in check.

I feel healthier than ever now!

I am also aware that there is a possible corruption of the Medical Industry that has caused their motives to change for the worst.

What Do I think about Psychedelics?

Many people describe the sometimes out of body experience as one of the most important things they have done in their entire life.

I think it should be an individuals right to experiment with their consciousness. I do not want a nanny state government which takes my rights as an individual.

One interesting effect common in Psychonauts (Psychedelic Astronauts) is a sense of freedom and a sensitive emotional state.

Some laugh, some cry and some learn the secret of life and then forget it right afterwards.
