Hello and welcome to the political orphanage, a home for Pucky Misfits and Problem Solvers. I'm your host Andrew Heaton.

Okay, this episode is a weird one.

We're going to talk about drugs.

With two people, two different interviews, I am going to bring on my old comedy writing partner to discuss psychedelics,

and then I will also speak with a prominent only-fans person about the time she did LSD every single week for a year.

But I'm not going to tell you which is which.

You'll just have to figure that out on your own through context. So this is a very, very fun episode. I mean,

literally I am talking about doing drugs with a comedian and a sex worker. The latter

of which, I'm not making this up, was getting dressed and doing

her makeup while I spoke with her on camera, which made for both an interesting and challenging

interview for one Andrew Heaton consummate professional.

So noting all of that, let me first explain why we're about to go on this delightful

romp of a psychedelic adventure together.

Now, granted, I would have enjoyed talking about eating

mushrooms and acid with my comedian

and new onlyfans buddy anyway,

but there's also a policy dimension to all of this.

So far as Uncle Sam and his drug war are concerned, whether you think psychedelics are fun,

epiphanal, dangerous, or immoral, doesn't matter.

Either way, they're illegal.

According to federal law, you can't do psychedelics,

and even if you don't, we're going to tax you for your money to police people who do anyway.
