Related: About this forumhydroxychloroquine
Trump's obsession with this drug reminded me of the Steppenwolf song, these lyrics in particular:
You know I've seen a lot of people walking 'round
With tombstones in their eyes.
But the pusher don't care
If you live -- or if you die.
God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! The pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With a lump of grass in his hand.
But the pusher is a monster
Not a natural man.

Well now if I were the president of this land
You know I'd declare total war on the pusher man.
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he run,
And I'd kill him with my bible, and my razor and my gun....
GOD DAMN! The pusher
God damn the pusher.
I said God damn! God damn the pusher man!

But I think the lyric is
"With love grass in his hand"
In the Haight Ashbury, "love grass" was grass you got for free. A free sample, if you will.

(7,590 posts)3. This song was always an earworm for me.
Especially the "tombstones in their eyes" lyric. 50 years later, it's a perfect description of Trump's supporters.
