If the DEA wanted to warn people of a real danger on the streets, they’d warn people about cops. Do you hsve ANY idea how many people cops kill every year? Yeah, me neither, because they don’t publish the real numbers. They don’t take accountability, they just hide everything.
Not just that, but the most dangerous thing about marijuana comes from it being illegal. A cop catching someone with pot will do more damage to their life than the weed ever could.

“I-I just kept eating. Just kept going. A whole family sized bag of doritos. OH THE HORROR!!”
Alcohol is worse for you than weed. But alcohol is far more harmful for you than many people realise. Being not as bad as Alcohol does not make it good or harmless. However, after many years of very overblown propaganda about the threat of weed the pendulum has swung the other way and no many people falsely believe all talk of the damage weed can do to be propaganda. Here’s a good video explaining the topic; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRaI0ZeAf8&t=661s&ab_channel=Kurzgesagt–InaNutshell
That’s not even a weed thing, that’s ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible…
Which is totally cool and totally legal
Not like it’s a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something
Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.
Well yeah, they’re mostly corn.
Peaches come from a can.
They were put there by a man
Wooaaahhhh
I like marijuana and am in favor of legalizing it but lets not pretend its completely harmless. For example, tenagers should not be using it since it will interfere with their developing brains.
I do agree that this campaign by the DEA could focus on more destructive drugs, like alcohol for example. Not to mention the opiods…
Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.
I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.
Exactly. The demonization of Marijuana by the USA has really pushed back valuable research all over the world, I hope with time we learn more about this plant.
Remember all those idiots who thought this administration was actually going to make good on their promise to legalize it?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Where are the DOGE bros for this government waste?
Nope sorry the best Trump can do is pardon a single drug dealer. The Libertarians must be thrilled at their art of the deal.
Hey kids, remember, Ted Nugent never smoked pot.
Um. So, there’s that.
Yeah, he just literally shit his pants to dodge the draft, and then wrote a song about how much he likes banging 13 year old girls! Both Trump approved activities! He’s good to go!
dea once again proclaiming how completely out of touch with reality they are.
idiots.
Your casual lawbreaking will be used against you.
“Corrective Rape” as a trope within the American prison system is probably the darkest part of this cartoon.
This is exactly what had me scared straight for the longest time. It’s not the drug, it’s the system that punishes use of the drug that’s the real threat.
The fact that ex-convicts (people that have paid their debt to society) aren’t a protected class in the hiring process is beyond me. At least insofar as non-violent offenses go, there’s no cause to throw someone away like this. This goes especially considering the current state of political affairs around here.

You got a source on autism coming from trauma etc.? I’m autistic myself and have never heard of autism not already being present at birth.
No he doesn’t because trauma, aka emetional or mental distress caused by experience have nothing to do with it.

Few would dispute that the causes of ASD include both genetic and environmental factors. Indeed, more than 100 genes are known to confer risk1,2 and 1,000 or more may ultimately be identified.3 A wide range of potential environmental challenges have also been associated with autism, although studies in this area lag behind genomics research. A short overview of data supports genetic and environmental contributions to ASD etiology. A focus on prenatal events will hopefully clarify that the cause of autism, in the vast majority of cases, occurs prenatally, even if behavioral signs first appear several years after birth.

ASD is a heterogeneous disorder, both etiologically and in terms of clinical presentation, and individuals with ASD demonstrate a wide spectrum of abilities and challenges. While the etiology of ASD is complex and still remains largely unknown, this condition is likely the result of the interactive effects of genetic and environmental risk factors (Lai et al. 2014; Schaefer 2016; Tchaconas and Adesman 2013). ASD is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, with a high concordance rate among monozygotic twins (Bailey et al. 1995) and an increased risk of sibling recurrence (Ozonoff et al. 2011; Risch et al. 2014). ASD is largely not a single-gene disorder. Rather, there are likely hundreds of genes that contribute to its etiology (Gilman et al. 2011; Levy et al. 2011). A number of environmental factors, particularly during the prenatal period, also present an increased risk for ASD including maternal diabetes, infection, fever, and inflammation (Ornoy et al. 2015); maternal asthma and allergies (Croen et al. 2005); the use of certain drugs during pregnancy (Croen et al. 2011; Gidaya et al. 2016;), extreme prematurity (Johnson et al. 2010), and maternal exposure to air pollution (Raz et al. 2015; Volk et al. 2013). Advanced parental age (Idring et al. 2014) has also been associated with an increased risk of ASD.
Tl,dr; genetics and prenatal disposition are the only known causes.
What i think op describe is more likely the masking autistic people do which is a defense mechanism they use after living traumatic event.
Thanks for th write up! It was very helpful, I was feeling super off about it because, like I said, im autistic, and I do also have some complex trauma. It was especially upsetting because my autism is literally what I am. It’s important to my identity in a similar way and as much as my gender identity, for example. And trauma is something purely negative that I wish I wouldn’t have gone through.
What does kind of make sense though is how trauma can exacerbate symptoms, such as being easily overwhelmed with seemingly innocuous situations.
No problem i kinda understand how you feel my SO got her diagnostic 2 yrs ago and it’s been constant research since. Keep it up and continue questionning everything, no one has ever been harmed by a question. Much love from canada 👋
Very good attitude! You sound like a great and supportive spouse. I’m lucky to have a partner like that, too. Love back from Switzerland ✨
Hey Fellow Kids (Steve Buscemi)
Don’t believe that hype that weed is cool because it’s for fools!
Can’t wait for the epic memes promoting weed
zack morris told me theres no hope with dope right before he narced on a nice guy for responsibly doing weed in his own house and then drove drunk and lied about it to his dad though
🎶Zack Morris is trash🎶
I would like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs
Anyone have popcorn?
I cannot fathom any possible way this could go off the rails.
What a great idea!
I cannot see a single reason why this would backfire.

Warning: avoiding marijuana can lead to unnecessary stress.
Next, these people are going to start going after heavy metal and rap music again.
Heavy Metal and Rap Music? They hurdled right over and landed on Any Amount of Dancing and Suffragettes.
They’re this close to warning that jazz causes integration
