These people may be awful and frequently deranged but there is a sick efficiency to their tactics:

Step 2. Claim anyone you don’t like is against it.

Doesn’t get much simpler than that, as dirty tricks go.

Hate is often just a reflection of insecurities and a product of attempting to alleviate cognitive dissonance. Someone feels scared, doesn’t like feeling that way, and so converts their fear into anger – misdirected at someone else.

John Huffman, the chemist who originally developed the synthetic cannabinoids later found in K2/Spice, has repeatedly warned that these compounds were never meant for recreational use.

I switched to an internet pharmacy that mails my prescriptions, and there is no going back.
