I love this guy.

Drug-prohibitionists remind me of Creationists vs Atheists in debates... their position is utterly factless demagoguery and emotional semantics void of empirical basis or critical thinking.

What message do we send to children when they watch sports and all they see are alcohol advertisements?

The gov successfully sent a message to all people that cigarettes are bad for you and the people responded appropriately. If the government were honest and pragmatic about the dangers of all drugs then drugs like marijuana would also be in commercials and drugs like crack would be highly cautioned and be surrounded by effective treatment programs.

Hutchinson is the WORST standup comedian I have seen ..

pe0ple should be held accountable for their actions not what they put in their body. all marijuana should be free

Nadelman. That is the man. Clear, logical, sensible, keen, reasonable, honest, direct, articulate, straight to the point, fearsome, implacable, courageous, intelligent, knowledgeable, you name it. A hero of our time.

[tobynsaunders]

I'll just chime in: the sorts of drugs people like to use should be legal, taxed & regulated. Responsible pot use should be encouraged because its a healthy product while use of other, dangerous drugs like alcohol & crack should be discouraged for ethics sake.

[marionyossarian]

@tobynsaunders Saying some drugs should be discouraged or illegal is the exact same thing that is already being done. The government tells you the the drugs you get from your doctor are good, but all the others are bad. All you're doing is including marijuana on the "good" list because of your personal opinions (and dare I say experience?). It changes nothing.

[DrummerCoCa]

@tobynsaunders As a non-smoker, non-drinker, I agree...although I'm okay with alcohol use remaining the way it is right now in the States

[matcotech]

Kick his ass Nadelman! Damn that man is mean,

The ONLY time in human history that cannabis has killed someone is when a cop shot them over it.

Our forefathers grew and smoked hemp. It's really a question of freedom, period. If you are sovereign over your own body then you decide what goes in it, if not you are a slave. 60,000 dead in Mexico in 6 years is quiet an accomplishment!

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

@bradleyandassociates This is a fascist country. You are not even remotely free; you are lightyears from sovereign, unless you are willing to fight and die on your feet protecting your rights on every inch of ground you ever stand on. Its that simple.

Ethan Nadelmann the Director of the Drug Policy Alliance and former DEA is doing a great job educating Americans

[thebullet2001]

Wish I could be there at the podium with Mr. Nadlemann to decry the lunacy of our drug policies. I am a recovering alcoholic who works as a drug and alcohol counselor and I believe that this Nation's policies are doing more harm than good. We don't have the resources to treat all of them. Take the money from the criminal side and help us in treatment to treat the disease and the brain disorder that is addiction!
