  2. Brian De Palma – „The Untouchables“ (1987)

    Mehr (maskuline) Star-Power geht eigentlich gar nicht: Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy García und Robert De Niro in einem Film von Brian De Palma. Im Kanon der ganz großen Mafia-Filme hat dieser Film 1987 ganz eigene Maßstäbe gesetzt, die bis heute ziemlich unerreicht geblieben sind. Ganz, ganz großes Kino! (ARD, Wh.)

  4. In den frühen Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts begann sich die öffentliche Meinung über 🌱 #Cannabis zu ändern, insbesondere in den #USA. Dies geschah aufgrund von #Desinformationen & der ungerechten Verbindung von #Hanf mit #Einwanderern und #marginalisiertenGemeinschaften. Sensationslustige #Medienberichte und die allgemeine #Unwissenheit über die Wirkungen von Cannabis trugen zu einer Atmosphäre der #Angst und #Paranoia bei, die schließlich zur #Prohibition führte.

  7. "The so-called 'iron law of prohibition' refers to the tendency for drugs to increase in potency and harm the more forcefully they are prohibited, dealers and users unwilling to risk the same potential legal consequences for less potent product - illustrated, too, by the upwards creep of the black market cannabis's [sic.] THC content, and in the Mr Asia gang's move from cannabis to heroin."

    Higher THC isn't a problem ...

  9. Pentobarbital has an LDLO of 36 mg/kg according to Cayman Chemical Company. According to Psychonaught Wiki, a heavy dose would be anything >300mg, how about we double that to 600mg for a reckless & stupid dose. For a 50kg person that would be 1800mg minimum to be lethal. Given the commonness of blackouts in heavy drinkers, & the fact these start occurring around 0.2 BAC, & that the LD50 of alcohol is around 0.4 BAC, that is narrower than pentobarbital between the dose reckless people commonly take & the dose that is likely to kill you. Pentobarbital is particularly high risk as barbiturates go. Drug overdoses are only common when people are mixing drugs, don't know how much they are taking within an extremely wide confidence interval, are trying to commit suicide, or all 3. This is the case with all drugs. Drugs don't kill people, people kill people! Alcohol is among the worst drugs & other gaba-ergics should be fully legalized to decrease harm, decrease prison & decrease crime. #drugs #harmreduction #politics #alcohol #prohibition #pharmacology #gaba #libertarian

  10. “…we should be mindful of the significant distorting effect created by #Prohibition: in most jurisdictions from which our current understanding of the #politicsofpsychedelics is drawn, these are largely still banned substances. That many of the political expressions of #psychedelicexperience under these conditions may seem ‘#extreme’ is to be expected, since the majority of the population does not wilfully defy the law or cavort in cavalier fashion with what doctors still mainly tell them are drugs fraught with danger: drug use under Prohibition has always been the pursuit of a small minority, whose defiance of the law is inimical to the consensual centre-ground and whose #radicalism (part of their “set”) we should expect to be amplified by the use of #psychedelics.

    However, this tells us little about the likely political ramifications of a future mainstreaming of psychedelics, with the easing of Prohibition.”

  11. I find it darkly ironic that over the space of a decade, it was the behaviour of libertarian "drug-bro" lads (both online and IRL) and their descent into #ToxicMasculinity that finally persuaded me to get clean from #drugs (around a decade ago), much more so than decades of #prohibition, having to hide my usage from parents and relatives, two arrests, emotional rollercoaster of highs and comedowns plus tiredness and minor health problems that hedonistic lifestyles can cause..

    I still think prohibition is a flawed method, but even the substances all became legal tomorrow I'd wouldn't be that inclined to try them again (got too many other responsiilities now, and I can't see UK or any other country in the world rolling back DUI precautions even with decrim)

  12. RE: mastodon.social/@Karl_Theodor/

    Genau!

    #Hanf auf die Felder - rettet unsere Wälder.

    Dämliche, korrupten #Cannabis- #Prohibition- Hansel;
    Keine #Expertise, keine Ahnung, davon jedoch viel.

    Eine ca. 10.000 Jahre legale Genuss-, Heil- u. Nutzpflanze wollen sie kriminalisieren!
    Warum?
    Wg. #GeldGierMacht, das übliche.

    Lassen uns seit 50+ Jahren von d. Dilettanten schon mal garnichts verbieten.

    #Cannabis hing mit zig anderen Kräutern auf dem Speicher meiner Großeltern!

    Arzt u. Medizin teuer, Leute wussten sich zu helfen.

  13. **Banning isn't safety. It's losing visibility.** The #UAE 's new resolution setting a minimum age of 15 for #socialmedia use is well-intentioned, but as someone who's spent over a decade investigating online abuse, #fraud, and digital threats, I have to flag a critical flaw: outright bans don't remove risk, they remove oversight. When a platform is fully off-limits, a determined child doesn't disappear — they go around it. Fake birthdates, #VPN s, borrowed parental identities. The result isn't a safer child. It's the same child, now invisible to any age-aware safety system, with zero content filtering and zero mechanism restrictions (no screen-time caps, no algorithmic guardrails, no DM protections). Here's the part that doesn't add up: this resolution already requires platforms to implement "accurate and reliable age #verification mechanisms" to enforce the ban. That means the verification infrastructure — the hard, expensive part — has to exist either way. So why use it to lock kids out entirely, instead of using it to give them a properly restricted, age-appropriate experience? We already have a working model. #Instagram 's Teen Accounts and #TikTok 's under-18 protections don't ban younger users — they #verify age and then restrict what that age group can do: limited DMs, screen-time defaults, no late-night notifications, curated content. That's harm reduction, not prohibition. And it keeps the child visible to the system designed to protect them. What I do #support in this resolution the #ban on monetizing children's data through behavioral tracking. That's a rule enforced on platforms, not on individual #children — and it's actually enforceable. #Restriction works. #Prohibition just pushes the risk somewhere you can't see it.
  14. klezmers behaving badly -- one of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society members Jack Polakoff in the car hit in a prohibition era shooting in New York (1930)

    from the Herald News (MA) and Daily News (NY) on 29 Jan 1930 but the same stories appeared in many papers
