Today is the 65th day that Biden has refused to legalize cannabis and expunge convictions. Instead, he fired his own staffers for previous legal use they were tricked into divulging.

Suggestions anyone? (about how to promote my new anti-Drug War book?)

I'm looking for suggestions about how to promote my new anti-Drug War "comic book" without going into massive debt while so doing.

It's called "The Drug War Comic Book!" and it features over 150 political cartoons slamming America's Drug War as anti-scientific, anti-nature, anti-minority, the establishment of a religion (Christian Science) and a violation of the natural law upon which Jefferson founded America.

The paperback is available at Barnes & Noble. It contains a 15-page introduction that points out numerous problems with the Drug War that I believe no one else has pointed out before. (There is also a Kindle version of the Book, featuring the political cartoons only.)

Perhaps you can suggest some names of the movers and shakers out there who don't mind speaking up against the Drug War and who might be of help in providing me insight as to how to get my book noticed. Or maybe there are websites that would gladly promote such a book, if only for a reasonable fee.

I don't mind spending SOME money. In fact, I wrote to a company called "BookBites," which B&N recommends for its newly published on-demand authors. They had a $600 package that would supposedly get my book in front of "millions of newspaper readers" across America. But when the editor learned the title of my book, he wrote back saying, "That's not for us." That kind of surprised me, though it really shouldn't have. I've written to hundreds of folk now to complain about the drug war and less than 1% ever respond. The very topic seems to scare people off (which is just another reason to get rid of the Drug War, since it stymies dissent and keeps the people in fear of speaking up). Still, the curt rejection from BookBites was what I would have expected from a book publisher, not from a company that promotes books.

Another idea I had was to launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise money so that I could send the book for free to major "influencers" out there who have been brainwashed by Drug War propaganda -- like the producers of the movie "Running with the Devil," for example, in which the DEA agent (Natalie Reyes) ***SPOILER ALERT*** is portrayed as the "good guy" when she shoots one drug suspect at point-blank range and tortures another suspect by hanging him from a meat hook. (Ah, yes, American values of torture to enforce Christian Science morality!) Of course she goes on this self-righteous rampage despite the fact that she's never seen without a cigarette in her mouth, puffing away on the deadliest drug of all: nicotine.

My book would hopefully remind the producers of the film that it is the Drug War that is the villain of the story, not the "villains" who had the nerve to market plant medicine to their fellow human beings.

Of course, I could advertise on sites like "High Times," but I'm really interested in changing the average American's mind on this topic, not on preaching to the already converted.

Ideas, anyone? My goal is not to get rich, but to bring the book to the awareness of the many movers-and-shakers in America who accept the Drug War as common sense, merely because they have been brainwashed by the constant forms of drug war propaganda that my comic book debunks.

I have confidence in the ideas that I've raised in my book, because I know the points I make are valid and have never been raised before, mostly because folks are terrified to speak up. I believe that the truth will eventually triumph and America will eventually learn to stop demonizing plant medicines and to learn to profit from them instead. But I need your help if I'm to see this change begin during MY lifetime.

So thanks in advance for any suggestions about promoting "The Drug War Comic Book!"

The Racist Drug War killed George Floyd

One of the cops on the scene for the George Floyd murder actually had the sick sense of humor to tell the onlookers to "just say no to drugs." That's a very telling comment, because it is the drug war that first made it acceptable in America for the police to treat suspects like dirt. Just watch any cop show or movie about the drug war: the good guys are those who call the bad guys scumbags, rough them up, kick down their front door, stomp through their house like the proverbial bull in a china shop, and do everything that they can to violate their constitutional rights. Why? Because the drug war mentality tells them that it's all right to be as evil as they want to be whenever they're dealing with suspects who dare to sell mother nature's plant medicines to their fellow earthlings.

Of course, the George Floyd killing itself had nothing to do with so-called drugs, but the contempt that the officers showed for human life is precisely the kind of behavior that Americans celebrate every time they watch a cop show or a movie about the drug war. This is because drug warriors have convinced us to forget about human rights when fighting so-called drugs. It's little surprise therefore that racist police officers embrace that sick attitude toward suspects even in cases that have nothing to do with drugs.

I find it amazing how neonazis can justify Duterte's drug war by thinking every one killed in it was a drug pusher.

https://donotlink.it/xm513

The United States government will try to bully you into keeping drug dealers alive and destroying your children, making your neighborhoods unsafe.

That’s if they’re not forcing you to do man-on-man anal.

Because making homosexual relationships legal is the same as making them mandatory?

The higher the number of dead drug dealers, the better.

Everyone should be able to agree on that.

8But the US won’t agree because they actively promote global evil.

Duterte is a good man.

And good does not mix with evil.

Watch this interview. Duterte is fully woke

First off, Durete is killing way more innocent people than drug pushers: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/11/philippine-vice-president-duterte-critic-takes-drug-war-post-191106234821606.html

Even his own vice-president is against this.

Now the nazi would justify this by saying getting rid of drugs will be worth it. But poverty is a big risk factor on why people take drugs: https://stjosephinstitute.com/understanding-the-relationship-between-poverty-and-addiction/

And Duretes war is causing more poverty: https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3032581/dutertes-drugs-war-rages-philippines-nations-children-are-paying https://www.rappler.com/thought-leaders/242753-analysis-how-duterte-drug-war-negating-key-anti-poverty-programs

Which causes even more problems: https://4thworldmovement.org/poverty-myths-busted-drugs-and-poverty-go-together/

Finally I find it amusing that a neonazi hates drugs: https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/ https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/458118-new-jersey-man-arrested-on-firearm-drug-trafficking-charges-had https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3020650/neo-nazi-drug-dealer-adolf-hitler-toast-facebook-pictures/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-bust-white-supremacists-with-meth-counterfeit-bills-and-a-rocket-launcher https://newrepublic.com/article/155503/toxic-nationalism-pharmaceutical-industry
