I have to admit I've waaaaay softened up on my position on drugs. I have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with drug companies imposing strict rules on who may buy their products and how their products may be used. But federal scheduling and regulation of drugs is absolutely asinine.
Give you an example: Where I'm from, you can pick up kratom from your local vape/cell phone repair shop/CBD shop. After doing my own research, becoming well aware of the risks and effects, I decided to buy a few ounces of red vein. Just a little powder in a smoothie or coffee works wonders on my sociability and moods (anxiety/depression), plus my back doesn't hurt quite as bad, and I've felt like being physically more active. I keep it strictly first thing in the morning, and I don't even really feel "high" from it. I'm just a week into it, so I'm waiting to see if it's going to turn out the same way as when I was on Ritalin back in high school. I'm VERY impressed overall.
However, kratom is banned I believe in Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas unless I'm mistaken. I don't understand that. I really don't. Sure, that's a by-state thing, which I'm grateful the federal government so far has allowed us this much. But I don't think it's a good thing even for state governments to regulate. I'm doing MUCH better with only a little help. Plus, it's cheaper than prescrips and having to get doctors involved. Exactly how has all the rules and regs helped?
And no, not a fan of Fauci, either. The CDC is a joke.

Ideally, I wish ALL drugs, from Tylenol to Ketamine, were available over the counter. So if you're depressed, you just buy it, take it, and feel happier. But that's not realistic, because Big Pharma. As for kratom, I tried it (my state allows it), and found it to be as effective as a tobacco cigarette. Even my Effexor is losing steam. Schedule 2 drugs, like Klonopin, are now almost impossible to get in my state. And I lack the social skills to buy them on the street.
On the bright side, Fauci is an old fart now. It's only a few years before he dies, that son of a ***** [female dog]. In which case, me and my "Q"uestionable friends will have a party of a lifetime---better than Lake of the Ozarks in May 2020.

I’ve seen too many people fall apart right in front of my eyes from lung cancer and emphysema to have any desire to use tobacco. I had my one rebellious excursion into dipping, which lasted a total of 5 minutes.
Kratom is LEGIT, though. My first experience with Ritalin made me super-buzzed, like I could be swamped with homework and overdue assignments and I could power through it. Within a few weeks, it just made me feel sleepy all the time. My anxiety makes me freeze up, and I can’t even do simple stuff. I don’t feel like my problems go away, it just makes things feel a little easier and not so overwhelming. Then I feel like I can do ANYTHING. I’ve never had that experience in any kind of counseling or medication, and as weary as I got with Ritalin I can’t imagine many manufactured chemicals really helping much. For other people, maybe, just not for me.
Big Pharma are all products of government regulation. They work it out such that lobbyists have a say in what kinds of drugs are developed and what the timeline is for distributing them. If big pharma doesn’t invent it and test it, the FDA won’t approve it. And since corporate greed (no, not all corporations are greedy, but greed happens) and government regulation is work hand in hand, I don’t throw much trust behind them.
Yeah sure! because there's an epidemic of conservative hot 21 year old babes looking for middle aged men
Are you saying there are more plenty of fish in the sea with conservative women in comparison, or what do you mean?

No I am just kidding. The upshot is if you are enjoying yourself then why break up?
You are overestimating the influence of politics in this relationship and underestimating other forms of compatibility.
Women testing men is driven by evolutionary biology, not politics, so you're correct there.
But... when the next scamdemic starts, and your tyrannical province implements a stay-home order, then what? A liberal woman will FORCE you to stay home with her. She'll scream bloody murder and call you a murderer if you even suggest meeting a friend for a game of poker or a hike in the woods. She'll even report you to the police if she feels like it, and feel proud of herself for that. Because brainwashing.
A conservative woman, on the other hand, will gladly join you for social activities. She might even talk to her friends, and find a party or an illegally operating bar for you two to enjoy, like my QAnon friends did. Or even drive with you to the next province for haircuts and freedom. (Although that's harder in Canada than in the US, due to the provinces being much larger; just compare Quebec to Vermont. )
My parents and my siblings are socially conservative, I don't think as couples they share common interests or even common politics (the women in my family are very anti-politics). Perhaps religion, a love of travel or a taste of the good life.
But maybe we aren't Americans. Australians aren't as vested in the constitution and history as you guys are.
Well as for her not being the type to want to do anything during a pandemic, back when we started dating and the pandemic was much more heavy she wanted to hang out with me all the time, which meant going out, so I think she is fine with that during a pandemic, unless I am missing something?
As a general rule, liberals love the scamdemic, and conservatives hate it. So... plan accordingly in your relationship, as there'll be more elections, both national and provincial. As for me, if I were you, I wouldn't trust a liberal girlfriend any more than I can throw her. Act as your mind dictate
Oh okay, that makes sense. Well I dated a conservative gf before for a long term relationship years ago, and the relationship was worse than the one I have now, in terms of testing. However, the sex was somewhat better back then perhaps, but is it normal for conservative women to be better in bed? I thought liberal women would be more sexually liberated and therefore more open. But that was the only area that may have been somewhat better in comparison of both relationships.
