: In Cameroon, cannabis is illegal, but courts often hand down long sentences without lab testing the seized substance. Guilt by green. 🇨🇲🌿⚖️

A cannabis bud sits atop a judge’s gavel block beside the gavel itself, with the national flag of Cameroon in the background. Bold text at the top reads “#DUMBLAWS,” and at the bottom, the image features the Pot Culture Magazine logo, website (PotCultureMagazine.com), and copyright ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept. The image critiques Cameroon’s harsh cannabis laws in a dramatic courtroom-themed composition.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he’s still on the fence about whether he’ll sign or veto Senate Bill 3, a measure that would ban consumable products containing THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis.

Involuntary drug or mental health "treatment" only causes harm to those it purports to help, to essentially disappear an undesirable group. It does not prevent public drug use, it does not cure mental illness.

Now is this the sane #DrugPolicy of #JoeBiden 's he struck down on day 1 of his "administration" he's now trying to lay claim on or am I just crazy? This is #BarackObama all over again from Trump's FIRST infection of the #OvalOffice. The ONLY original ideas Trump has? Are criminally corrupt!

Pam Bondi controversially claims Trump saved "two-thirds of the country" from fentanyl overdoses, asserting 119 million lives were protected. This statement was made during an unusual Cabinet meeting where she boasted about fentanyl seizures but lacked credible data, contrasting sharply with Biden's report of over 442 million potentially lethal doses seized. Explore the data behind these claims and the impact on drug policy. Full article: crooksandliars.com/2025/04/pam #Trump #PamBondi #Fentanyl #BidenAdministration #DrugPolicy

Carney does no have a drug policy planned out. This is unfortunate, especially when there is a risk of Canada moving right of center with a banker in power. We will continue to see drug users ignored by our governments.

We need to stop this idea that drug diversion of any kind is bad. If safe supply is diverted, it means safe supply is supplanting illicitly produced drugs. It means people are safer.

Diversion of safe supply is still safe supply.

Supporting policies that result in harm and death is not merely a difference of opinion, it is partial responsibility for every single one of those deaths. It is a threat to society and must be treated as such.

Moralized drug policy is slaughter.

Reading an article about a conservative Gen Z influencer who became far-right after someone "who appeared to be on fentanyl" punched him in the head. That guy is probably dead or dying, but this dude will only ever care about a bruise long gone.

“Trump faces backlash for gutting laws targeting drug cartels while letting drug dealers off the hook. Weakening the fight against cartels and pushing fentanyl as a scapegoat—this is a betrayal of real solutions. #TrumpWatch #FentanylCrisis #DrugPolicy #Columbia #DonJunior www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

An article I've written about the unfortunate occurrence of drug exceptionalism in some harm reduction circles, where drugs like marijuana or psychedelics are elevated while drugs like methamphetamine or crack cocaine are looked down upon.
