SERVING TIME IN FACEBOOK JAIL

As much marijuana as I admit to smoking almost daily. I still loudly 
proclaim to anyone I am not addicted to marijuana and, as far as I 
know, no one is; because marijuana is not addictive, but Facebook is. 
Ibogaine is a cure for addiction (period), it not only works on drugs 
like heroin, meth, cocaine but addictive behavior like gambling too 
from what I've been told. Some say it's the best cure for tobacco use as well.

Facebook has suspended my Facebook account for one week starting last 
Sunday 1/2/2016, and ending on Saturday 1/9/2016. I'm suffering big 
time cyber pains in Facebook jail. As you know I've been to real jail 
and in real jail people are there who are drug addicts and they 
suffer physically for lack of their substance  it's called 
withdrawal. It's a horrible experience to be in a cell with a person 
suffering from withdrawal, the smells, and the dry heaves, the agony 
is horrible to witness. I admit to being highly addicted to Facebook 
and I'm going thru severe Facebook withdrawal right now, I'm not dry 
heaving or throwing up but......ugggh. As much marijuana as I admit 
to smoking almost daily. I still loudly proclaim to anyone I am not 
addicted to marijuana and as far as I know no-one is; because 
marijuana is not addictive but Facebook is.

In spite of the lies touted by Government indoctrination programs 
like D.A.R.E. and Government officials like Christie who distort, 
exaggerate and lie to continue the prohibition of a helpful benign 
substance. My marijuana has always been helpful, and it's a proven 
benefit to those suffering from withdrawals, so I will be smoking a 
bit more this week, thanks Mark Zuckerburg.

I wonder if I could cure my FACEBOOK addiction with Ibogaine.

I've written about Ibogaine before 12/17/2014, (Ibogaine is the cure 
for addiction and is illegal in the USA) Ibogaine is a substance made 
from the Iboga plant native to western Africa. Ibogaine is a cure to 
drug addiction that our Government has banned for unscrupulous self 
serving reasons. Really  I ask all my readers to Google this 
substance "Ibogaine". It is used as an alternative medicine treatment 
for drug addiction in some European, and African countries. Yet, it's 
illegal in America this should outrage Americans nationwide but it 
doesn't mainly because our media and legal profession are complicit 
in the immoral drug war against Americans and hide this cure, which 
would disrupt the flow of cash to the real drug dealers of America, 
not the foolish few minions that sell drugs on street corners.

Hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans are physically 
addicted to various drugs and behaviors; many of them legally 
prescribed drugs issued by doctors. It's a fact that over 125,000 
Americans die of drug overdoses from legal drugs in America yearly, 
far more than the 15,ooo who die from Cocaine/Heroin and all the 
illegal drug over doses a year. Somewhere between 140  150,000 
Americans die of addiction driven overdoses. More than Americans have 
died of over dose deaths in American than the Vietnam war, Persian 
Gulf war 1 or 2 combined!

10's of thousands die each year in America by drug over dose, mostly 
because of addiction and currently this nation is going thru a 
renewed nation-wide heroin addiction epidemic. Afghanistan is the 
leading source of Heroin in the world now. New Jersey had over 750 
drug overdose deaths last year and still our Government hides the 
cure - Ibogaine, and protects the main source poppy fields 
(Afghanistan) with our military.

How is it that people like NJ Governor Christie rile about 
"marijuana" and fight tooth and nail to stop this beneficial 
substance from becoming while hiding Ibogaine? BTW - Marijuana helps 
with addictions too another reason to legalize marijuana. Christie 
claims to want to stop drug addiction and wants to institute drug 
courts and programs he claims will help, yet ignores the cure - 
Ibogaine. How is it that none of the NJ State Assembly people ever 
suggest legalizing the cure to addiction? Why don't the families of 
those 750 NJ drug overdose victims scream to legalize Ibogaine?

Yesterday I rode the riverline and it was full of young addicted 
suburban people headed to Camden to get their daily fix of heroin. I 
don't call the riverline, "the riverline" anymore it's the 
"heroinline". I wonder how many of the young people I saw looking 
skittish while headed south and nodding headed north are going to be 
dead next January. Will heroin deaths in New Jersey top 1000 this year?

It frustrates me to know there is a cure to this addiction; we are in 
the throes of a serious epidemic that's killing thousands of 
Americans and not one presidential candidate talks about legalizing 
Ibogaine. About 10 years ago my friend Jim Miller had his drug 
addicted step son go to a European country to receive Ibogaine 
treatments for his drug addiction. He came home cured, is still alive 
and drug free.

Ibogaine is a cure for addiction (period), it not only works on drugs 
like heroin, meth, cocaine but addictive behavior like gambling too 
from what I've been told. Some say it's the best cure for tobacco use as well.

Every June this country has a phony NO SMOKING MONTH  Presidential 
Proclamation No. 183, s. 1993, which declares the month of June as 
the National No-Smoking Month nationwide. Its purpose was to raise 
public awareness on the ill effects of smoking, as well as to 
encourage smokers to give up the habit. The campaign is run by the 
DOH (Department of Health), the National health observance encourages 
smokers to kick the habit "the sooner, the better," and to stress 
that "it is never too late and no one is ever too old." WHO (World 
Health Organization) statistics reveal over 5 million deaths annually 
from tobacco diseases.

About 42 million Americans are addicted and still smoke cigarettes, 
and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of 
disease and premature death in the United States. As of 2013, there 
were also 12.4 million cigar smokers in the US, and over 2.3 million 
who smoke tobacco in pipes - other dangerous and addictive forms of tobacco.

Puff, Puff pass I'm smoking a "non-addictive" joint.

I have no doubts Ibogaine is the cure to addiction, could stop 
thousands from dying of heroin, and millions from dying from tobacco 
but I'm just a pothead suffering from Facebook withdrawal. But I ask 
why doesn't the DOH, DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) or WHO implement 
Ibogaine to cure addiction?

Right now I'm wondering if Ibogaine could be used to cure me of my 
Facebook behavioral addiction in the future.
