Also anyone else notice that google now censors most search results about drugs? They give you their fucking suicide hotline as the top result if you mention anything harder than weed. After that, it’s all DEA and DOJ webpages, literal DARE shit, actual rehab advertisements, and massively SEO’d rehab related grifts. Good luck getting any Bluelight or Erowid pages to come up without actively searching for them nowadays.
