THE POT POTENCY POEM
They say the weed you're smoking now,
it ain't your mother's grass!
Your weed's mega-potent,
her stuff's all weak-ass.
They say the weed's way stronger now
and you know it must be true,
After all when it comes to weed
they’ll never lie to you!

Something those of us in drug law reform have been pointing out, crystallized perfectly in Dr. Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow". So much of the drug war was dress rehearsal for what you're seeing now—suspicionless stop'n'frisk, zip-tied kids, shot dogs, tear gas, flash bangs, testilying cops.

In 2018 Canada ended cannabis prohibition.
This must not be seen as the end, it's actually a beginning.
The next steps are clear:
End psychedelic prohibition, then dismantle the whole corrupt & destructive "war on drugs."

10/X The lesson is that prohibition makes problems worse.
If we banned caffeine & coffee beans tomorrow, the same thing would happen.
Neighbourhood cafes would be replaced by gangs, while many former coffee-lovers would end up using much riskier synthetic caffeine substitutes.

9/X Our current drug laws have created a backwards world.
Because of prohibition, it's much easier to get fentanyl than to find a cup of doda tea!
Good drug policy should do the opposite: make it easier to get safer versions of these drugs, and more difficult to get the riskier forms.

8/X The doda ban 15 years ago has been a perfect example of how prohibition worsens the harms it claims to prevent.
The doda ban didn't help anyone.
Instead it clearly caused many deaths, both from overdoses and from gang violence, as well as promoting misery and harm to society.

7/X I searched but cannot find a single Canadian news report of a doda-related death in the years before the 2009 doda ban.
But in the years after the doda ban, as doda users were forced to switch to heroin, and then to fentanyl, overdose deaths began soaring in Canada's South Asian communities.

6/X Before the ban, doda tea was being sold in the South Asian community peacefully, in friendly neighbourhood shops.
After the ban, doda was replaced by stronger opiates being sold by gangs.
Violence soared as these new gangs fought amongst themselves to control the now-lucrative trade.

5/X What was the result of Canada's cops criminalizing doda?
Sadly, but also predictably, the doda ban made everything worse.
People who had been fine drinking their doda tea were forced to switch to more potent, riskier options, like oxycodone and heroin.
Misery and death ensued.

4/X Once Health Canada caved to the cops and reclassified doda as a Schedule I drug, the busts began.
In 2009-2010 there were sudden raids on doda-selling grocery stores across Canada.
These shops had been operating for years. They likely didn't even know the legal status of doda had changed!

3/X Doda is so mild that Health Canada couldn't find opiates in it. So the government didn't consider doda to be an illegal drug. It was sold openly.
Police took it upon themselves to "educate one of the head guys from Health Canada" and pressure the government to treat doda the same as heroin.

THREAD: OPIUM TEA BAN LED TO HEROIN
A mild opium tea called "doda" was widely sold in Canada until 2009.
Doda is made by grinding dried poppy heads & stalks into a powder, then adding hot water.
Before 2009 there were zero media reports of social problems or crime arising from doda use.
