I’m Meghan Murphy, probably the first and most cancelled woman in Canada. I have been defying orders to STFU for most of my adult life to date, and was likely equally as passivity-challenged as a kid.

For a long time I identified as a socialist and a feminist, but began moving away from these labels in about 2017, opting for independent thought and open conversation instead. Those angered by this move call me a grifter, but the truth is I gave up a lot to speak truthfully and freely, which is why your subscription here matters so much to me. Without paid subscribers, I couldn’t continue to operate independently, and scrape by. For just six dollars a month, you get access to all my work, chats, AMAs, and commenting fun, but you also ensure I won’t be swayed by anything but my own inclinations and explorations. No rubles for me!

I left Canada in January 2021, fleeing Trudeau’s ever-encroaching Covid mandates and authoritarianism. I still fight for the country, but my home base is now a small, chaotic, unpredictable, magical town in Mexico, full of lizards, dogs, and freedom-loving weirdos.

I do all that I do alone, so don’t have a ton of spare time, but am intent on living a balanced and happy life. I would love to connect outside this medium, but have to manage my time effectively, so while I would love to chat with you, process, offer advice and direction in the fight for sovereignty and joy, I do need to charge for my time.

Why subscribe?

I have been working as an independent writer and podcaster since about 2011. I built my platform from the ground up, collecting an audience and subscribers organically along the way. I never had a plan beyond saying what I thought needed to be said and seeking truth and a better understanding of the world around me. Staying independent is incredibly important to me, albeit challenging on the survival level.

If you enjoy or appreciate my work and are invested in the fight for truth, freedom, and sovereignty, please consider becoming a subscriber.

A free subscription allows you access to podcast episodes, advertisement free, as well as select articles, chats, and commenting privileges. A paid subscription offers you exclusive and early access to video content, all articles, AMAs, chats, commenting privileges, and my gratitude.

Thank you for supporting The Same Drugs and my work! (For the many of you who have ask, the name of my podcast is both an homage to Chance’s track of a similar name (read the lyrics to better understand that) and a reference to a move I felt I was making in my own personal life as well as one I felt many of us were making towards the heterodox — a mass waking up with a desire for truth and authenticity 🧡
