As someone who works with former crack addicts, I have a terrible truth that I know and that I know very few people want to hear:

Crack damages your brain -permanently-. You might be able to smoke it just a couple times with no damage or you might be able to smoke it for a while with very little damage, but what it does, it does permanently and when you smoke it for too long, the damage is severe.

And here's the thing about that damage - it sort of seeps in. It takes years, decades to fully manifest, but when it hits, it always hits the same way, and it's basically always schizophrenia. It cuts holes in your brain, and it's terrible.

I believe Mike Lindell fully believes what he is saying. I believe he even thinks it's the right thing to do.

But the simple fact is his behavior is completely in line with massive brain damage that is manifesting and getting worse from his years of abusing drugs. I would not get enthusiastic about anything he says.

edited to add: I know he's beloved around here, but Q never mentioned him and I really think he's sort of a red herring. Not a planned one, but one nevertheless.
