[wunderbeast]

on principle, i'm against cloning. that said, if there was one person i'd be willing to clone, it's this guy right here. congress should be filled with people like him and the tragedy is that it's not. truly yours, former obama zombie now for ron paul 2012

[FiveofHearts1]

I wish I still lived in the destrict Ron Paul represented. If he were to run again, I'd do what I could to get the word out about him.

[DJAnthonyWill]

@FiveofHearts1 Get the word out for a Presidential run in 2012! I already have Ron Paul bumper stickers on my car.

[rmccay88]

@DJAnthonyWill

You mean you didn't have them on there already? :)

[ronpaulvolution]

YEAH! GO RON PAUL!!! TELL EM!!! I think the only regulation for smoking pot should be age.

[terahybrid]

also I don't buy that BS that is going to stop crime/drug cartels whatever, people will always drive to cheap prices and nothing the Gov. does is cheap or competitive much less if they start OVER regulating like pretty much everything.

[terahybrid]

I believe so too, but I don't want free drugs for all like those hippies want, we need to have some limited Regulations, (i.e.) like having and keeping a job at least 3 months, at least 21yrs etc...

[ronpaulvolution]

@terahybrid you mean you'd have to keep a job to do drugs? That's not right. Only age is a requirement to drink alcohol. Why would drugs be any different?

[terahybrid]

@ronpaulvolution perhaps not but it was just an example, also I strongly oppose legalization on principle, it can get into a big slippery slope, next thing we know any synthetic drugs are ok too.

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid That's not a slippery slope, that's just logic. You can't protect grown men and women from themselves. When legal, less children will have access.

[terahybrid]

@mindinclined legal or not I don't think it will have any significant effect if any, I never said I want to protect grown people.

[Syphalis1]

@terahybrid Synthetic drugs?  You mean like prescription pills?

....

pretty sure they are legal! You are on the slippery slope. When you take away the freedom of individuals to take care of themselves and make their own decisions.

And don't give me the whole "protect the kids" spiel. When I was 19, I could get weed a lot easier than I could alcohol.

[terahybrid]

@Syphalis1 yes just like like some prescription pills, not sure about you but I don't want every kid on mood enhancers, Ritalin whatever, you know they're are pimping that big time, pretty much now most kids magically has ADD,ADHS, or the big pharmaceuticals doing trials on state run foster kids.

and I certainly don't like every time I go to the doctor I'm asked if I'm depressed and that I surely need some depression pills.

you know it's not about pot, it's every other drug out there goes.

[Syphalis1]

@terahybrid But legalization and the shadiness of Big Pharm are 2 separate issues.

[terahybrid]

@Syphalis1 I know it's 2 issues, but drugs are a big cash machine pharms will start pimping them to everybody with their shady studies.

[terahybrid]

@Syphalis1

I leave protecting the kids to the parents.

I am for decriminalizing the user not the dealer.

kids have always managed to get alcohol, for me at that age alcohol was easier to get, not sure what that proves.

[Syphalis1]

@terahybrid But part of the whole point is to eliminate the black market and all of the crime that comes with it. You can't say, yeah you can have that, but you can't get it from anyone. Legalize it, tax it, and control it. It works for alcohol (relatively) well. And just think, instead of spending billions, we could make money!

Technically weed is legal, but having it without the official tax stamp is not... oh and applying for the tax stamp is illegal too.... silly politics.

[terahybrid]

@Syphalis1 I agree with you more than you think.

it might decrease it, but it wont eliminate black market or crime people will always drive to cheaper prices, a product going through the formal channels as of now it wont compete, which is why drugs are everywhere and cheap they are practically a free market.

I am for don't jail the users let them buy whatever, but jail the dealers

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid Why jail dealers when you can get rid of them altogether through legalization? We can even use the taxes from drugs to fund prevention. The more usage, the more prevention and treatment. What could make more sense than that?

[terahybrid]

@mindinclined if it's about freedom I am 100 percent behind all of you, let's legalize some of them at least pot since most want that, but lets not start talking about being legal will solve the problems etc... etc... well that is BS I don't buy that it only sounds good on paper.

what's funny to me is that drugs=pot which isn't even pot any more, they dont want what hippies used to smoke they want the new hybrid plants or whatever they put on them or spice them in.

[terahybrid]

@mindinclined tax from to fund prevention, so lets make it legal and kill it with regulation taxes who will pass the cost to consumers that's just awful, why not fix the legal stuff first, every year alcohol and tobacco get a screw you tax increase, I do agree PSA is a better way, sort of.

I want to jail the dealers for the same reason I want jailed the people who pimp depression pills and/or mood enhancers like ritalin, now there even a depression pill for your depression pill it's insane.

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid You don't have to tax it to death. I'm merely suggesting that the tax revenue from normal sales taxes and business can go towards prevention and treatment. What's so awful about that?

I guess you just want to jail people the sell things you don't agree with. Would you agree with jailing anyone that pollutes the air with a car? Or eat fatty foods? Or how about people that f*** in strange positions? As soon as you open the door to regulate personal habits, that is the slippery slope.

[terahybrid]

@mindinclined I don't want to tax it to death, but it will be taxed to death eventually look at the alcohol and tobacco history, its a great state revenue from people that wont dispute a tax increase each year.

I don't care what they sell, what I don't like is people convincing or tricking you what a great awesome idea is eating fatty foods, and cars that pollute, a huge house you cant afford etc..., you know what I mean it's the people that will sell their own mother for a dollar.

[mindinclined]

@terahybrid Agreed, that's why fraud should be prosecuted.

[Syphalis1]

@terahybrid I thought we might be on similar pages.

But yes, assuming it was not taxed at ridiculous amounts, it WOULD eliminate the black market. There's no black market for tobacco and alcohol... even though they do have relatively high taxes on them.

Drugs are not cheap. Bought any lately? ; )

They are expensive because of the risk associated with them. And again, you keep saying "Jail the dealers". What if I sell a small amount of pot to my best friends, jail for me?

Legalize & Regulate

[terahybrid]

@Syphalis1 lol I told you I agree with you more than you think.

there is a black market relatively speaking how else will the cool kids get the tobacco and alcohol.

I would expect the judge to have self prudence on you, but seems to me most dont know up from down anymore, you will rot in prison as an example and the career crook will get a day in jail maybe.

I'm not against Legalization & Regulation of POT, what I dont like and hear often is drugs=pot which is not

[aixelsydyslexia]

I tend to agree. Even yesterday found someone was wanted in court and probably was going to wind up in jail and when I found it was probably because of using something as minor as pot, I was like, 'huh, that's it?' Wouldn't use it myself, but I think throwing people in jail is a tad bit ridiculous.

[slapcrack]

I wish my representatives were more like Dr. Paul.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

Am I hearing "action" before the start of this? lol what is that?

[rpkymadisonco]

ron paul rocks!

[leafwatch]

Good man. Great finish.

[EtherTrogg8]

the"war on drugs"is such a joke!the top 10 companies on the DOW index were pharma, and they netted more profits than the other 490 combined!hypocrisy at its finest!jailing people for marijuana and shrooms which are 100% natural, can expand our minds,open our 3rd eye, and wake us up to the reality that were just slaves!all the while throwing Big pharma synthetic poison pills down our throats for any human emotion!smells of conspiracy to me!what do you think?(careful big brother is watching) lol

[mcsenget]

"We need to repeal the war on drugs."

[alistairproductions]

you can tell hes pissed by the end

[mcsenget]

@alistairproductions yeah, i wonder why he stepped away like that

[ronpaulvolution]

@mcsenget frustration, maybe? He's been fighting for this stuff for decades.

[HerrSpieldose]

since the US ranks up there with China, N Korea, Iran, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia as king shit of jailing people... fair sentencing is a pipe dream...

[jdstorms]

Thanks for sharing! :-)
