How many top drugs have come out of China, Russia, Cuba or Vietnam?

I’d prefer it if we kept the vilification of producers and consumers separate, like we do for other illegal things like illegal drugs. One is a hell of a lot worse than others. To call for too harsh punishments on the consumer side is counter-productive. It not only cause the users to go even deeper underground, but…

The white people mating with neanderthals pitch is a classic black supremacist insult.

Don’t read racism into everything you see - sometimes the explanation is simpler: Science is proceeding across the board.

This story just keeps getting deeper and deeper. I can only imagine what she went through. And now, on top of losing his wife, to have her body recovered in such a manner. That’s just...idk don’t even know.
