if its about the pharmaceutical companies pushing unnecessary and harmful drugs on children and the impressionable then im sure its just some leftist drivel paid for by the liberal elite who want to make it mandatory for grade school kids to drop acid and smoke bongs during study hall
I watched some old episodes today and it was pretty interesting. Makes me wonder why anyone would want to legalize drugs.
Because the war on drugs is killing thousands more people (see Mexico) than the drugs would themselves if they were legalized and administered by the govt.
There's a marijuana legalization ballot measure here in Colorado, and they can't even call it "legalization". Instead they call it marijuana "regulation". If people can't be honest about what their ballot measure is, it speaks volumes about what they believe voters think about it.
Voted tonight, voted for the OR legalization measure. It won't pass, and probably would be killed by the courts if it did, but I think supporting it is a step in the right direction. barfo
Washington State voters will definitely legalize marijuana in 2 weeks. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/10/14/171463/washingtons-marijuana-legalization.html
so everyone wants weed legalized because they realize its harmless and a huge drain on a government budgets yet its not happening, i wonder why?
...there is a lot of BIG money behind the prohibition of the devil's weed, all about massive profits. Same reason why other huge lobbyists are able to guide policies to their most profitable advantages. --> The Emperor Wears No Clothes [quality reading]
There is no reason why any drug should be illegal. In a free country you should be able to harm your body how you see fit so long as it doesnt hurt someone else. The act of doing a drug shouldnt be illegal, the illegal acts of maintaining an addiction should and are illegal. Drug war money would be much better spent on rehab and education. Its a social problem not a legal one.
I was recently watching a show on Discovery and they had guy from one of the drug cartels in Mexico and he was saying that if the USA legalizes weed then it would cut into their operations by the billions of dollars. And if so, they would bring their wars here to protect their turf. Apparently, their weed money subsidizes cocaine and herion operations. Now, who knows if he was telling the truth or smoking something, but full decrimilization of marijuana and it's impact on mob, gang and cartel influence is an interesting thought.
