      Genetically Modified Skeptic intensifies

      I swear I just heard drew screaming from atop a building somewhere.

      Probably, but I’d wager it’s a timesaving way to treat hypochondriacs.

        And potentially lifesaving but it doesn’t address the core issue and makes a ton of profits for crooks instead of funding actual research

        I think you’re confusing natural medicine with homeopathy. Homeopathy is straight nonsense, always.

      Maybe but that would involve us trusting the government.

      I don’t think it should have ever been a crime to smoke a joint I also don’t think it should be a crime to eat a sugar cube that someone put three drops of water on it.

          False dilemma. Now are you willing to put down money right now that the government will never try to ban abortion pills? If you aren’t I must conclude that you are the one that doesn’t trust the government. You know the same government that fought a war against cannabis users for 9 decades.
