25 Lies, myths & misconceptions about drugs

Leave a reply

No. 1. There is a clear pharmacological definition for ‘drugs’.
There isn’t – what we classify as illegal ‘drugs’ is a 1950s & 60s social and cultural construct with no coherent pharmacological rationale.

No. 2. People who use drugs are drug misusers.
Untrue – the vast majority are recreational users who generally use drugs sensibly.

3. Users are dirty, immoral and dangerous losers.
An unjustified and hostile stereotype – illicit drug users are a diverse group of people from every walk of life. The drug business is dirty, immoral and dangerous – because it’s illegal, lucrative and subject to fierce law enforcement.

4. People take drugs because they have problems.
Untrue – most people take drugs because they enjoy the effect, just like alcohol and caffeine.

5. Regular drug use inevitably leads to addiction.
Untrue – only a small proportion of people who use illicit drugs develop addiction – just like alcohol and caffeine.

6. Taking drugs damages people.
All substances (legal and illegal) can damage people, but it’s largely prohibition that makes illicit drugs dangerous and damaging.In addition, acquiring a criminal record for drugs is more harmful than the drug. The most damaging drug of all is a legal one – alcohol.

7. Drug use fuels crime.
The presence of a drug and the commission of a crime does not equate to a casual connection. The relationship is ‘associated’ rather than ‘causal’. However, there is evidence that prohibition and tough law enforcement of drugs causes crime.

8. Legal drugs are safer and less damaging.
Alcohol and tobacco are more damaging than most illegal drugs – but due to prohibition it’s more difficult to obtain any illegal drugs in a clean and unadulterated form.

9. Law enforcement measures effect levels of drug use.
Neither tough nor liberal law enforcement have much impact upon levels of drug use.

10. Addiction is an equal opportunity employer.
Drug use is an equal opportunity employer but addiction isn’t. While anyone can be affected, problematic drug use tends to disproportionately affect those with disadvantaged and damaged lives who had difficulties before PDU and lack resources, opportunities and support to change.

11. Addiction is a brain disease.
Untrue, yes the brain will be affected but loss of control of drugs (similar to internet addiction, gambling, over eating) has much more to do with social, psychological and behavioural fact than neurological defects.

12. The government can protect society by banning new drugs.
Banning drugs masquerades as positive action to deal with the ‘problem’ -but actually banning drugs doesn’t protect society it actually makes production, distribution and consumption more dangerous.

13. Once listed in the Misuse of Drugs Act, drugs become ‘controlled’.
Technically correct – but ironically once a drug is listed it actually goes underground and becomes an uncontrolled drug.

14. Cannabis is a gateway drug that leads to addiction to ‘hard’ drugs.
Untrue, the majority of young adults have used cannabis have not progress further to use so called hard drugs, and have not become addicted

15. People who use caffeine, tobacco and/or alcohol are not drug users.
Untrue – they certainly are. These three substances are drugs, and ironically unlike some illegal drugs – in high dosages – caffeine, tobacco and alcohol kill.

16. If we lock up dealers we can reduce the drug related violence.
Actually disrupting the supply distribution and removing dealers actually has the opposite impact and creates more violence by presenting new opportunities and creating ‘business’ conflict.

17. Drug use is a health issue.
Taking a substance isn’t a health issue anymore than a coffee or glass of wine is a ‘health issue’. Even problematic drug use isn’t best described as a health issue – PDU may be a social, psychological, health and/or legal issue.

18. There are ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ drugs.
There is no clear definition to support this misleading distinction. While some drugs can generally pose greater problems than other drugs to some people – these generalisations are misleading because the impact of a drug varies from person to person depending upon the set (the person) and the setting (the environment) – it’s not just the substance.

19. Drugs are illegal because they are dangerous, and the proof they are dangerous is that they are illegal!
This circular DoubleSpeak is used to defend prohibition, but the substances we have called ‘drugs’ are not particularly more dangerous than other substances such as alcohol, sugar, tobacco, fat, caffeine, peanuts. However, prohibition increases the risk, danger and uncertainty considerable.

20. Drug testing will tell you if a person has been using drugs.
The result is unreliable due human error, machine error, deliberate and accidental false postives and false negatives. It’s not drug use that should concern us it’s when use gets out of control – and a test can’t show the pattern, time, place, nature or context of drug use.

21. Like everything else on the market drugs must be proven safe before they can ever be legalised.
Not true. The safety for other products does not have to be established before approval (for example mobile phones or GM foods). Substances that are damaging or even lethal such as tobacco, alcohol, peanuts are legal and promoted, whereas a drug such as cannabis that has never killed anyone is considered dangerous and remains illegal.

22. People who use drugs are not criminals they need help.
Taking a drug should not be a law enforcement concern, but neither should we problematize or pathologize drug use as a health issue. There is no reason why we should assume a person using drugs needs help.

23. Recovery is about becoming drug free.
Recovery is about regaining control of your life, but becoming drug free isn’t always necessary to achieve that. Some people sort their life out and continue to use in a non problematic way, and some take clean prescribed substitutes.

24. Harm reduction is a form of treatment.
When a person is given information and foil and decides to smoke rather than inject heroin they are not getting treatment. Harm reduction is a pragmatic humane and non judgemental approach that engages people where they are at with a view to reducing risk and harm.

25. Harm reduction doesn’t support abstinence.
Harm reduction is about reducing risks, and abstinence is a good way to reduce risks – so harm reduction incorporates abstinence – but only when the person is ready, able and wanting to become abstinent.

BANKS & “GOVERNMENTS” FORECLOSED WORLDWIDE

Leave a reply

BANKS & “GOVERNMENTS”

FORECLOSED WORLDWIDE

The One People’s Public Trust (OPPT) announced the foreclosure of the world’s banks and “governments” on December 25th 2012 stemming from prior
investigation into massive fraud across the entire system: http://i-uv.com/oppt-absolute/oppt-initial-investigation/

The-One-People

What happened?

The OPPT posed to the world’s Banks and Governments:

1. that they had by deceptive acts and practices been stealing from the people for hundreds of years, and;

2. nothing stood between the Creator and each of the Creator’s creations,

and gave due opportunity to rebut both statements. They could not and did not. To understand this fully please read the Declaration of Facts at http://i-uv.com/oppt-absolute/original-oppt-ucc-filings/> UCC Filings >
2012 ptII > Declaration of Facts. Here are two excerpts:

Government Charters Cancelled:
(Refer: DECLARATION OF FACTS: UCC Doc # 2012127914 Nov 28 2012) “…That any and all CHARTERS, inclusive of The United States Federal Government, UNITED
STATES, “STATE of …”, Inclusive of any and all abbreviations, idem sonans, or other legal, financial or managerial forms, any and all international equivalents, inclusive of any and all OFFICES, inclusive of any and all OFFICERS, PUBLIC SERVANTS, EXECUTIVE
ORDERS, TREATIES, CONSTITUTIONS, MEMBERSHIP, ACTS, and any and all other contracts and agreements made thereunder and thereby, are now, void, worthless, or otherwise cancelled, unrebutted; ...”

Bank Charters Cancelled:
(Refer: TRUE BILL: WA DC UCC Doc# 2012114776 Oct 24 2012) “Declared and ordered irrevocably cancelled; any and all charters for Bank of International
Settlements (BIS) members thereto and thereof including all beneficiaries, including all certain states of body owning, operating, aiding and abetting
private money systems, issuing, collection, legal enforcement systems, operating SLAVERY SYSTEMS …commandeering lawful value by unlawful representation…”

Orders to Cease and Desist:

Attention is drawn to DECLARATION AND ORDER: UCC Doc # 2012096074, Sept. 09 2012, duly reconfirmed and ratified by COMMERCIAL BILL UCC Doc. No. 2012114586
and TRUE BILL UCC Doc. No.2012 114776 which states:

Volunteers within the military … “to arrest and take into custody any and all certain states of body, their agents, officers, and other actors,
regardless of domicil by choice, owning, operating, aiding and abetting private money systems, issuing, collection, legal enforcement systems, operating
SLAVERY SYSTEMS against the several states citizens, …”, and “Repossess all private money systems, tracking, transferring, issuing, collection, legal
enforcement systems operating SLAVERY SYSTEMS…” “…all beings of the creator shall forthwith assist all Public Servants identified herein, to implement,
protect, preserve and complete this ORDER by all means of the creator and created as stated herein, by, with, and under your full personal liability…”

Search document numbers listed at the Washington DC UCC Registry: https://gov.propertyinfo.com/DC-Washington/

What does this mean to you?

Are you paying a “debt” to a foreclosed entity..? e.g. mortgage, credit card, car loan?

OPPT has foreclosed on hierarchy. No one stands between you and your creator… not even “Government”.

Because a CEASE AND DESIST order exists, you are free to offer terms and conditions to individuals acting on behalf of a foreclosed Bank or “Government”,
by issuing a Courtesy Notice.

What does this mean to Banks & “Governments”?

All beings now act in the capacity of individual entities without a corporate safety net and with full personal liability for each and EVERY ACTION THEY
TAKE under common law, protected and preserved by public policy UCC 1-103, and Universal law, the governing law laid out in the OPPT UCC filings. (Refer:
WA DC UCC Ref Doc # 2012113593)

Should any individual pursue any actions on behalf of a foreclosed Bank or “Government”, causing another individual any damage as herein described, they in
their individual and unlimited capacity are absolutely liable. Such actions may result in the receipt of a Courtesy Notice.

Courtesy Notice

The Courtesy Notice contains the information of this flyer and offers terms and conditions for future dealings.

Whereas Banks and “Governments” have been foreclosed worldwide… Acts, Statutes, Codes, Courts, Executive Orders etc were thereby foreclosed, thus without
a lawfully binding contract -individual to individual, no instrument exists to compel performance.

The Courtesy Notice offers new terms to any individual of a foreclosed entity for their acceptance and the method of acceptance is clearly
defined.

Individuals are now downloading and sending Courtesy Notices worldwide; 64,000 were downloaded in the first two days following release in early
Feb 2013. See http://www.i-uv.com

What is the UCC -Where and to whom does it apply?

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is the ‘bible’ of commerce and used world wide, but sometimes in disguise. UCC is not taught in law schools; it is used
in high level banking and government corporations. Accordingly most lawyers, attorneys and magistrates know nothing about UCC and will argue it has no
application.

1. Executive Order 13037 dated 04 Mar 1997 defined humans as capital. See:


http://americankabuki.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/us-citizens-defined-as-property-of.html

2. UCC Doc # 0000000181425776 filed 12 Aug 2011 evidences sale of US citizens in transaction between The Federal Reserve System and The United States Department of the Treasury 1789 for $14.3 trillion. (Linked above)

3. UCC Doc #2001059388 evidences the template the Federal Reserve Bank of New York uses to secure the collateral in major banks around the world…
including chattel paper, goods and the unborn young of animals. See

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?3yh79cjnzcwzu0s

Those who would regard the UCC as irrelevant outside the US are thereby claiming former funding arrangements with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York null
and void.

Due Diligence

Given the usage of UCC filings in the upper levels of “government” and banks worldwide, due diligence is a necessity.

If there is a dispute, error, or falsity make AND deliver a duly verified sworn DECLARATION OF REBUTTAL to the duly verified, sworn and REGISTERED OPPT
DECLARATION OF FACTS, point by point, with specificity and particularity, with full responsibility and liability, under the penalty of perjury under any
law you identify, that the forgoing is true and accurate, signed by your wet-ink signature.

To date, no such rebuttal has been registered.

All People Declared Free of Debt
(Refer Notice of Declaration of Absolute Truth UCC# 2013032035)

The final filing of the OPPT occurred on March 18, 2013. This document terminated all remaining man-made entities and returned all people of this planet to
absolute freedom. In this document the creator is referred to as “absolute essence” and all creations people are referred to as “absolute essence
embodied”.

Article VI states…”I duly verify, with full responsibility and liability, by DECLARATION OF ORDER, that eternal essence IS made transparent and known by
the DO’ing of any and all embodiment of eternal essence in eternal essence’s universe, IS free and free of debt, unrebutted.”

This means THERE IS NO DEBT.

You have no debt… No one has debt… it is done.

Cop charged for conning dagga farmers

Leave a reply

MBABANE – A police officer has been arrested and charged after he allegedly conducted an ‘illegal raid’ where he conned dagga farmers in Maphalaleni on Saturday.

Police corruption

He has since been charged with theft by false pretences, impeccable police sources said. Police Public Relations Officer Superintendent Wendy Hleta confirmed the matter. “Police are still investigating the matter. He is due to appear in court tomorrow (today),” the police spokesperson said.

The officer, Bongani ‘Mumba’ Dlamini, allegedly conned the farmers around E1 500. A well-placed source said: “The officer was on duty on Saturday night. He took a service R4 rifle and drove a police car to Maphalaleni purportedly to raid for dagga.

“He raided about three homesteads and managed to get E1 500. He demanded bribes from the illegal farmers, further threatening to arrest them if they refused. It seems as if the officer had inside information that the farmers had sold the herb and they had money,” the insider alleged.
Being known as an officer under the General Duty department might have proved Dlamini’s mission impossible because the farmers allegedly dialled 999 to report him, an insider said.

“The people knew him because it was not the first time he did that. They knew he was under the General Duty department, not the Anti Drug Unit. They furnished the 999 staff with all the information. The 999 officers reportedly called the Mbabane Police Station. Thereafter, his superiors in turn called the officer on his mobile phone,” the source alleged.

The suspect’s mission was reportedly cut short by the call from the superiors and he returned to the station, sources alleged. Insiders said the officer did not carry a search warrant as per the procedure when the police raid homes. “He was detained and formally charged on Saturday evening. He is currently behind bars and is due to appear before the court soon,” the source said. National Public Service and Allied Workers Union (NAPSAWU) President Quinton Dlamini condemned the act and added that it was not the first time such happened.
