People should look for safer, legal, substances, like… checks notes… alcohol.
The duality of criteria regarding “traditional” drugs depending on whether they are produced by rich countries or not is pathetic.
Checks notes approved drugs that have been tested for safety and efficacy rather than “traditional medicine”.
What’s Coca Cola gonna do?
Continue selling fizzy sugar water?
Who is the WHO to tell people what plants they can use? Everyone should pull out of the WHO, it’s an abomination of an organization in the first place, made by the US to help exploit people in countries with lower standards of living, and pollute their air and water.
That’s an interesting claim and the first time I’m hearing it. Do you might citing specific examples?
I was thinking of the World Trade Organization for enslaving poor people in dictatorships. The World Health Organization is also a shit organization, not in that way though, but these us created international oganizations work in tandem to police sovereign countries out of their rights. This is not the first plant the WHO has illegalized, or tried to illegalize. Kratom has been targeted, unsuccessfully, under dishonest arguments put forward by the US that failed to schedule it here with those arguments for instance.
US created? What a load of horse shit.
During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations.
The first meeting of the World Health Assembly finished on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$5 million (then £1,250,000) for the 1949 year. G. Brock Chisholm [Canadian] was appointed director-general of the WHO, having served as executive secretary and a founding member during the planning stages,[22][19] while Andrija Štampar [Croatian] was the assembly’s first president.
Nobody gives a shit about the genesis of these western run organizations that have built this world of shit. Illegalizing coca leaf is just more proof they are an illegitimate, freedom hating organization that has no respect for indigenous groups’ natural ways of life, and in this are tacitly supporting aerial spraying, chemical warfare, against people that grow coca.
Take some responsibility for your own lack of willpower if you do coke and stop blaming people growing the leaf they have been using forever without problems.
