    im okay with ending the war on psychedelics though.

    not for everyone but also not worth hunting and jailing people for.

    fuck off with all the pseudoscientific garbage.

    Actually, the brain worm never died, it is sentient, and this is part of the RFK worm’s long term goal to infect the nation via destruction of the FDA. The rest is there simply as distraction.

    Start growing your own food, boil rain water for clean water, and avoid close contact with others for the next four years then? Can’t wait to hear about all the cases of preventable diseases, contaminated foods, and new, deadly viruses we get introduced to once these clowns take over…

      If they break that infrastructure the long term impact won’t be immediately evident, which means the impetus to fix it will match that of climate change.

      And last way longer than 4 yrs. Took Biden 3 yrs to fix Trumps fucked up economy.

    Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.

        Raw milk for cheese isn’t quite as big of deal as enthusiasts make it out to be. It’s more the homogenization process that destroys milk for cheese than pasteurization. I’ve had alot of success mixing pasteurized skim milk and pasteurized heavy Cream to the ratio I want to make various cheeses. Using Homogenized milk though nearly always failed or gave extremely low yields for me though.

        In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

          There’s also the fact that they take steps to hinder bad bacteria. While nurturing the good bacteria that makes their cheese. It’s not like they just throw raw milk into a vat and pull out cheese.

    Apparently now conservatism is just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.

    For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.

    Meanwhile, conservatives are like “we haven’t forgotten that you made fun of us for the horse dewormer thing.”

          In all likelihood you will be too busy with the flooding, the heatwave, or the tornados.

          People forget climate change is going to affect nearly every corner of society. There will be very little safe haven and overcrowding in those spared the most.

        Yup none of these people in Trump’s purview are actively trying to conserve the rate of change.

        They should not be labeled conservative by anyone any longer.

      Disinformation coming out of the FDA is a real issue though, it’s just that RFK isn’t exactly the person we should want trying to fix it. His list covers the entire spread from significant real issues to batshit crazy conspiracy theory, leaning heavily towards the latter.

      It’s notable that the areas in most need of reform were all broken by conservative politicians.

      No, he won’t. Or he might, ostensibly, but they will never be propery researched and they will never be properly regulated, so you won’t really know what you’re getting or how it should be administered, so good luck with that.

      The only thing you can reliably count on with the incoming administration is that whatever they are doing, they are doing to make themselves and their friends wealthier, at the expense of the rest of the public. Unfortunately, that doesn’t only mean finacial expense.

      It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!

        I wonder how hard it will be to tell the good stuff from the poison. Depending on just how unregulated they go, labels might not even match contents.

          Probably easier than now considering the decrease in stigma and increased impetus for testing as well as elimination of the black market.

            I doubt that. Erasing stigma is an important step in researching these drugs. Reclassification so that they are accessable for research is another. However, proper regulation is required so that you know what you’re getting and in the right dosage. The incoming administration want more deregulation. That will mean that quality of supply will be less reliable.

            We are still dealing with increaing outbreaks of foodborne illness because of deregulation from the last Trump government. And this affects more than just Americans. I’m in Canada, but because we import food from the US, we are also exposed to these illnesses. My immunocompromised sister had a bout of listeria from food that she should have been able to trust. (I can’t remember which food at the moment). I still have granola bars in my home that I haven’t disposed of yet which were part of a separate recall.

            Proper regulation works quietly for the average person. When it’s working correctly, you don’t notice the myriad of ways that you’re kept safe every day. It’s when it fails that we notice.

            I’m not even talking about the fun drugs, but things like a bottle of vitamin supplements, over the counter, or prescription medication. Sure, you can test a batch, but will that mean testing one pill out of each bottle? Or could consistency drop enough that one pill might not say much about the others in the bottle?

            Will testing resources get stretched to the point where many won’t be able to afford them if we’ll need to test each bottle of pills we buy to make sure the producer didn’t just stick a nice label on lead pills to make a quick buck and disappear in the night before the fallout?
