'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7We have heard that BZP might be banned in March. It is derived from the pepper plant and it is the main ingredient in many herbal high pills. It has being compared to illegal drugs in strength and dangers but the comparison is unjustified and the law makers don't seem to realize the role that these herbal highs have for people as alternatives to illegal drugs nor do they respect peoples rights to use natural substances.
The comparison is unjustified? Another 'Headshop' not too far from your Limerick shop was selling, nay, actively PUSHING BZP to a woman who was just about back on her feet after brain trauma. Now she is a wreck.
Another headshop, near that one, is flogging these 'party pills' out the door to beat the band, and they have no concern for how dependent the punters are.
Don't give me any of this 'responsibility' nonsense. People already addicted to stuff, or too young to know better, need someone to look out for them, not to
You go ahead and try get your stuff back if the cops took it back from you. But don't expect much sympathy about your BZP stash one way or the other. It's not St. John's Wort, it's not anything useful. It's a dangerous stimulant being sold over the counter without supervision or control.
Laugh. Smile, talk. All those things will change a person's brain chemistry in a postive way, with no reported ill effects.
Paying someone for pills to do it for you, is removing your own ability to control how you feel. It's the opposite of the responsibility being preached by the author.
Don't get me wrong, I have taken BZP myself before and quite liked it. But to say there are no ill effects is just plain wrong. Even the most cursory investigation shows evidence for the toxicity of it and I know two neuroscientists in Ireland, one of whom is a professor who believe it to be MORE damaging than MDMA.

Regarding your comments:
You have fair points and I won't deny them but my point is that for a lot of people, these products are a safer alternative than illegal options that they might use if our products were not on sale. But that does not make them right ether I agree.
However there is a need in humans (however much you say there isn't) to get elevated and they want to have fun. There is a world of safe herbs out there that have been used for thousands of years by people and these herbs could be used as totally safe alternatives to illegal drugs and even the current herbal highs that are been sold.
As things are banned, this will lead us to safer and better herbal highs and they will really be herbal highs.
We are working on this at the present.
users of ecstasy will be breathing a collective sigh of relief on hearing the recent news on bzp.
the drug has widely been sold as ecstasy on the black market and has created a near drought of mdma based pills, although mimicing the mdma effect, mdma it is not. the experience is markedly different in many ways, much less enjoyable and far more disorientating, anyone expecting a typically mdma feeling will be sorely disapointed if not extremely panicked. this is my experience of the drug anyway, but if anyone is in any doubt about the general consensus among ecstasy users you only have to look at sites such as pillreports.com, where contributors share their horror stories of their encounters with the dreaded demon that is bzp. one thing that we must accredit to bzp is the soar in pill-testing kits which enable users to distinguish between mdma and non mdma pills, and more importantly to screen for more dangerous adulderants such as ketamine and pma. to this end we must thank the creators of bzp as in turn it has created a very vigilant e population, whose fear of bzp might very well save their lives, by proxy.
It may be of intereste for People to investivate 'Cocex Alimentariuos' which is coming onto effect in December 31 of this year and will have profound effects on every aspect of our lives as it will control everything that is grown on the Planet including Herbs and all Foods. It will be controlled via the UN. in an effort to 'save' Humanity from Nature and it's horribly fungi and dredded nasties like .......dirty clay and all that stuff.
Oh! My immune system is already needing some Artificial Pharma.stuff to save me.
