JD Vance Adviser Posted on Reddit for Years About Use of Cocaine, ‘Gas Station Heroin,’ Other Drugs

One of JD Vance’s key policy advisers, Aaron Kofsky, has for years posted extensively on Reddit about using a variety of drugs, including cocaine and opiates, under the username PsychoticMammal. In the posts, which are as recent as three months ago, Kofsky wrote about experiencing withdrawal from and trying to “kick” tianeptine—also known as “gas station heroin”—and kratom; advised other users on how to transport drugs on domestic flights; and called Vance “a Trump boot licker.”

Lol these guys all know the guy directly above them is a piece of shit, but that doesn't stop them from supporting them.

So typical redittor?

To be fair, "gas station heroin" is a pretty apt description.

And the way it's sold, people get hooked before they realize what's going.

It's crazy that's stuff legal but cannabis isn't.

I mean, this dude is likely a giant asshole, and fuck him.

But this stuff fucks over a lot of lives of people with no idea what they're taking.

Worth checking out the Search Engine podcast about Kratom & Tianeptine, "The Mystery of the Vape Shop Kratom". It's absolutely nuts that this stuff has zero oversight

A different user commented on the post, pointing out Kofsky and writing, “that dude on the right behind him looks high on something lol.”

PsychoticMammal then agreed with the user, writing, “Haha I didn’t notice that guy before. His eyes are def buggin. Maybe snorted some ole white girl beforehand? I’m sure half of congress rails lines.”

Tianeptine was common in noot stacks sometime around 2013 (I don't quite remember when I dropped that hobby) and it is weird. A little is good, more is better but it is moreish. I can see why people who are buying these little drinks by the case are ODing and sometimes dying. I'm not saying I think this stuff should be regulated but I think the lack of regulation overall leads people to think that it must be safe because it's at a gas station. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Phenazepam is one such example from my reckless days.

That is exactly the kind of mustache I'd expect to dabble in gas station pills and research chemicals.

Y'all are ragging on him for being a Vance guy, but this is all good advice.
