Don't forget the indigenous people of the US who are STILL being screwed by the US government.
Back in 2000 when the US military was in Afghanistan and the poppy fields were blooming heroin started blooming in the fishing community where I lived. Coincidence? Shortly after we have the opioids crisis we are now "dealing" with. And now hallucinogens are being touted as a cure for PTSD and anxiety and depression which supposedly 70% of Americans are suffering from. And let's not forget all the other Rx drugs for ADHD and the other mental illnesses. This is a bigger issue than most people think. I've seen firsthand what hallucinogens do to people and it isn't good. Ayahuasca use and talking to a tree or a space alien doesn't seem to yield any benefits. It does however make you apathetic,braindead and antisocial. I always thought that mk ultra was a conspiracy theory but it was all about enhanced mind control and interrogation. And the "justice system" is a convenient means to imprison people for drug use for free labor for corporations. Brave new world and Soma. The US government is creating the drug problem for it's own benefits.
Our politicians and Corp executives are the ones who are mentally ill.
Yeah. Re. free will - I just can't bring myself to go along with Sapolsky who says there is none. Just because there's much less than we think, it doesn't mean there's none. Looking after your self-discipline makes a huge difference, and I'm not always the same.
You are so right

... and Afghan poppy fields needed lot of protection.
Interesting. I hear that lyric as "... then you suffer superstition". (Not that it makes much difference).
