RFK Jr to create government ‘wellness farms’ to help with addiction

RFK Jr. wants to create government-run “wellness farms” where drug addicts of all varieties — including antidepressant users — can get clean while doing agricultural labour.

“I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go and get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also legal drugs, other psychiatric drugs if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, get off of benzos, get off of Adderall,” he said. “No phones”, “no screens”, just living in the moment.

It’s an avante-garde twist on the country’s existing government farms. But unlike the Angola prison plantation, you don’t have to get convicted to go there. And the crops are all organic.
