Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré's early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune's Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the "Bloody Week", in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

You can build up a tolerance but in my experience, it's a milder addiction than caffeine, nicotine or alcohol by quite a bit
I don't think it causes chemical physical dependency but I'm not sure
Idk if it's the case everywhere, but all the head shops in my neck of the woods stock it
Red strains are best for anxiety/de-boozeing in my experience
ymmv though
For your health
appreciate it my dear Oaf, it is certainly something to consider
(i was gonna say 'milder than caffeine!? oh wow!!' but then i remembered the omnipresent gnawing headache and the shamefully petulant mood swings i experience if i go even 1/4 a day without a coffee or energy drink lol, caffeine is actually low key no joke)
I am or have been addicted to all the things I've mentioned lol
In my experience it went
Alcohol
Nicotine
Caffeine
Kratom
I can go without kratom for a whole day (or several) and it's noticeable to me and might be a little unpleasant, but it's not a front and center mental blaring alarm to me to go without like the first three are
