While I fully agree with your basic sentiment here, I want to share two ideas I am working on that may come as appalling to you, as your detailed article might come to those who have bought the propaganda about "illegal drugs being horrible for people by default".

1. Did you know that tobacco was considered a natural remedy not long ago? That tobacco was used to help with all sorts of lung-problems purposefully, and that it was greatly hailed as a universal agent to counter all sorts of negative health effects?
   For many indigenous tribes, tobacco remains one of the most essential plants to connect to mother Earth and heal the body of malicious influences, as well as being the bridge from the solid into the fine layers of existence. The process of smoking symbolizes the transformation of Earth into fine information in the form of smoke, passing the information on into the cosmos after having travelled through a human (what some have called the bridge between heaven and Earth). When I looked into it I was definitely amazed what I could find.

It's also telling once more how governments tend to seemingly disagree on so many things publicly, painting a picture of actual dialogue and honest search for the facts. The handling of tobacco however is not one of them, most countries in our societies at least do totally agree that tobacco is "bad" for people, and that putting black magic warning mantras on the packages will be somehow "good for our health". And all of us belive it! By now I suspect the story may be altogether different than what we think is a well-intentioned move to keep people safe and healthy.

Granted though - this ALL refers to natural tobacco (Mapacho etc.)!!

The stuff that factories turn out in mass today, laced with kerosin and other highly toxic materials is NOT what people have referred to in the past as the tobacco plant. And that's exactly where the confusion may come in - mixing up the plant with what the same people who now move to prohibit it more and more have made it out to be in the public eye.

1. All these numbers are official and from the same sources as the other contemporary myths we have, many of them throughly debunked by actual science. Studies and statistics are great and all, if they are well-done, but taking them as an actual representation of the facts is highly questionable to me. I have long stopped believing anything that comes out of these agencies and companies, simply because we have too much evidence of their continued serving hidden agendas and forming public opinion in a certain desired way.
   This does not negate all their findings, but it could serve nicely to getting us hooked on a twisted interpretation of the plants we have available on Earth and their proper use, which - from a controller's standpoint - is much more valuable in the long run than keeping people healthy.

Naturally, this requires lots of evidence to even consider, and the evidence does exist. That certain "health agency" must be one of the worst sources for actual science. In my mind, they are one of the top moral instances of worldview we have today, leading us into fairytale land in the name of science and health. It's the people who say there is no cure for cancer, that pathogens are the cause of illness, and that vaccinations prevent anything harmful. Its existence depends on the worldview they are propogating. The list is endless. So again, while this may be all nice and accurate for chemical-laced mass-produced poisons like packaged cigarettes or homebrewed meth-poison, it may totally lead us deeper into artificial word views while we are thinking we are defending health.

Sorry for the long comment here.

I do want to emphasize that this article will be a of great benefit to those still claiming that sugar and aspartame are fine because "legal", and that anything illegal MUST be terrible by definition. That myth has the highest priority of being dismantled and your article does that perfectly. I just want to urge everyone to not get stuck there. There may be way more to uncover. that said, I still have no idea what the truth is, only that these narratives have large holes in them already.

Thanks for your important work! <3
