Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I haven’t done heroin in 15 years, but MAGA…not even once. It’s important to have standards in life.
I'm glad you're doing what you want with your own body. Tough to do these days it seems.
I'm saving heroin use for my later years personally. I'm sure I will be in much more pain then. (If I make it that far)
Honestly, I don’t recommend it. The drawbacks are much bigger than the benefits.
If you want a legendary high in your old age that also won’t kill you or make you an asshole, I highly recommend LSD combined with Nitrous Oxide. Turn the brain on with LSD, and turn the body off with laughing gas for 30 seconds at a time to ride in and out of pure creative consciousness. Works pretty well with MDMA too, but that can hit the stomach hard, and could be a bad idea for an older person.
Heroin will just remove all feelings of guilt and remorse for your actions until you subtly shift out of alignment with your own values. It removes all fear, which is what people get addicted to, but then you become a total piece of shit because you will feel no negative impact from being cruel. That’s the secret that I wish I had known going in. Don’t become a nasty tempered old junkie—that is a tired cliche and there are much better highs.
