You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.

  • I’m in South Africa: purchasing cannabis products on the clearnet. The law is, you’re allowed to have cannabis on your own property, up to like 1.2kg or something few people can reasonably accumulate. You can grow 4 plants.

    You can provide cannabis as a gift without “remuneration”. i.e. you can’t buy or sell it

    Meaning, you join a “social club” where your spontaneous membership fees coincidentally directly correlate to the THC metabolite concentration in your urine. This is the legal grey area.

    But the cops here are still stupid fucking cops. Got a bag of 4g Jack Herer in a Ziploc bag with beautiful artwork on it on the way home from the dispensary?

    SIR YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR THE DEALING OF DRUGS. You either pay a stupid bribe or they throw you in jail for a night or a weekend until a lawyer can come bail you out and the case never goes to trial.

    They did not do enough police reform after the official end of apartheid.



  • A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.

    Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.

    I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?

    Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.




  • The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton Morris. I don’t know if Morris is a first name, but I really like the dude. He did a bunch of documentaries about drugs for VICE. Big tangent incoming.

    Those documentaries are really good. He did one about Project Coast, an awful program started by the apartheid government in South Africa (before Mandela became president). It’s the reason why the country still has such a high usage of methaqualone (AKA qualuudes, called Mandrax or “Buttons” colloquially) compared to the rest of the world.

    Project Coast did so many much fucking lingering damage. Poisoned baby milk, nerve agents, you name it.

    It was engineered by this piece of shit who earned the nickname “Dr. Death”, Wouter Basson. Cunt got away with it. He’s somehow still a practicing cardiologist in Cape Town. Infuriating.

    Main point: those documentaries are worth a watch. Not an ad. Pirate it if you want.

    Also, if anyone happens to be near Dr Death’s practice, just fucking exorcise that demon.
