Stop Bush's Drug War Draft!

[WhispersFromTheVents]

So... now we not only risk our lives trying to get these mind altering substances, most of which have been used throughout history, but now if and WHEN we get caught we lose the thing society needs to function, AND we get to kill people against our own will. Isn't America, home of the free, great?

[Quincyishidaawesome]

The US constitution was made of hemp, and we aren't allowed to wear hemp clothing at my school even though it's environmentally friendly and in my opinion more comfortable than most fabrics used in clothing

[Slayerfan84]

Hey MFer I smoke pot and I can properly pronounce the word Nuclear, that's right Dubya its pronounced Nuclear NOT NUCULAR! You lying piece of dog no not dog, you lying piece of donkey shit! I challenge any of those so called Righetous Policy makers to point to me where in the US Constitution is the occupation of Iraq Justified!

[xzero0100]

you lose lots of right after you are convicted of a felony. cant vote cant have a gun cant get foodstamps impissible to get a good job. the simple answer is to  not do drugs.

[TheMiamifuentes]

The Militaries Moral Code is in severe need of an update

[jbeard8]

I'm trying to get into the military and can't because of a drug conviction so THANKS.

[limabeing]

if i got drafted id wait till i got in combat then just spin in circles and shoot anyone

[Quincyishidaawesome]

@limabeing n00b, thats almost as bad as spawn camping

[andrew2high]

that's how you help someone who may/may not possibly have a minor character "flaw". completely destroy all their dreams, aspirations, and any potential that they may have to better themselves and possibly the world. "we think that you have a problem. so we're gonna take away your future. oh, and you still have to pay us back those student loans. on the bright side, we'll totally let you die for us!"

"uh, thanks?"

[Keepskatin]

i only agree with the war on drugs as far as removing drugs from our American society,but i don't agree on those harsh punishments served to people with no prior felony convictions.

[RobertCarlisleHQ]

There is an answer, and it looks like the video I posted above.

Vote Robert Carlisle for President!

[scrubbycritter]

When are they just going to legalize it already? It is not even about right or wrong, it is about personal freedom, the right of any human. Anybody wanting to argue that should take a long hard look at their own humanness.

[GiveMeLiberty59]

Your exactly right!

[kappy0405]

they'll probably legalize it when Mexicos economy has completely tanked due to the nafta flu outbreak. There isn't a better way to 'save the global economy' than to create a north american union with open borders and a successful drug industry implemented from within Mexico.

[Keepskatin]

All you kids need to do is stop using drugs,you know the risk so don't take it,also i think the government should make use of prisoners of america and end them to war,especially those serving life sentence,what do they have to loose

[Theriot6592]

@Keepskatin yeah, make every single prison conviction a death sentence. that makes SO much sense

[Keepskatin]

@Theriot6592 It's not a death sentence to use prisoners to fight our foreign wars.It's a passage to redeem honor and freedom.If they survive then they no longer have to spend the next 25 years or life in prison,and we won't have innocent soldiers dying so heavily.

[Theriot6592]

@Keepskatin uh, yes it is a death sentence because they get fucking SHOT, dumbfuck. And what are you talking about honor? What military are YOU talking about?

[Theriot6592]

@Keepskatin the term "innocent soldier" is an oxymoron.

[ssj4goku100million]

it's all an attempt to weed us out any way they can and going to the army and dying in another country is just fine with them an extermination if you will.

[shas1814]

The so-called "war on drugs" has ruined millions of lives and careers and families, supported gangs and Organized Crime, filled the courts and jails, eroded our rights and freedoms, corrupted cops and politicians, cost billions of dollars, and has not decreased drug use by even one percent. Alcohol Prohibition created the American Mafia. Can we really not learn from our mistakes? End the war on drugs and free the POWs!

[BugattiFan301]

In fact it probably increased drug use. If cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc. never became illicit, they probably never would have been noticed or popularized.

[mabney12]

lol story of my life.....5g of herb....now im in the navy :p

[kappy0405]

funny considering all the street drugs come from within the governments anyway.

[GiveMeLiberty59]

Look up The Mena Connection. Gangsters on high

[fuckpussyIsrael]

please watch this video to see the truth.

watch?v=YaqybvymYIE

its about the freemasons...

video will open ur eyes

[97markviii]

Maybe if they didnt spend money on drugs they could aford school? How is financial aid and military related?

[Fastlan3]

You are kidding right? If your in school, change schools, if you are not...go find a good one quick! You never played the game connect the dots, don't lie? And this even connected them for you!

You have just shown thousands of people how stupid you are, I hope you don't have a drug conviction. lol

GO HERE!! sign it, and send!

[mutedmajority]

crammin without meth? get real

[lathzz]

97markviii; "how is financial aid and military related?" fastlan is right. you should go to a diff. school NOW. You need to THINK! If you dont have finacial aid to GO TO COLLEGE, what are the best options left to you? Either work a 9-5 job shoveling dirt or join the military. Guess which option most young people are likely top pick. Come from a rich family do you mark? Money doesnt grow on trees..... Oh wait. Yes it does, sort of.

[97markviii]

Uh, actually I served in the army for 4 years, not to go to school but I actually wanted to make a difference and support our troops in the field. If you can afford weed then you can afford school....I'm not talking about people who smoke once in a great while either. I'm talking about people who smoke it regularly. Just think that $100 could go towards your classes instead weed. Stop whinning about not being able to go to school cuz you are working a 9-5 job to support your drug habbit.

[lathzz]

You assume too much mark. I too served. It paid for my education. I have a degree in Biology and used that degree to secure a VERY nice job. I smoked the whole while. And what about the people who smoke "once in a great while". If those folks are caught, their finacial aid is GONE! Plain and simple fact is that taking kids finacial aid away for smoking a joint is BARBARIC! Youre an asshole for supporting such a notion. Time to wake up little lamb. Get a clue.

[lathzz]

And furthermore mark; You say that if one can afford pot, one can afford college? Really? Have you attended any classes at an actual University? Its VERY expensive. FAR more expensive than buying a $20 sack that lasts a guy for a month. You have NO clue what you are talking about here. Go get an education and some experience before shooting off at the mouth. Prohibition of Cannabis is a STUPID and HARMFUL policy. Your support of it makes YOU stupid and harmful to society.

[97markviii]

Yes, I know how much classes cost. Since you can only afford a $20 sack doesn't mean every other pothead smokes as little as you do. My friend usually smokes at least one oz of marijuana every week. That's at $100 an oz on avg which is about $400/month. So that's about $1600 a semester (4 months). You tell me you can't afford to go to a decent college with that much money! That's at least 8 credits (10 credits here). He has no desire to go to college or do anything for that matter...

[lathzz]

Mark; You are making broad, foolish generalizations here which only concern the few people you know. The main point here is that prohibition is STUPID. You are stupid for supporting such a harmful, counter-productive policy. Taking a kids financial aid away for a Cannabis conviction is HARMFUL TO SOCIETY. Period. If you argue against that point then you better wake the fuck up. Also, a FULL TIME semester at any major university costs WELL over $2000. So.. EHHH. Try again.

[lathzz]

And agian mark; You are clearly lacking in experience concerning both education and Cannabis. Dont talk shit about something you have no experience with. It paints you as naive. Which makes sense, because anyone who supports prohibition and taking aid away from kids for using Cannabis is CLEARLY naive at the very LEAST. Wake up.

[97markviii]

I like how you say I'm making generalizations when I am telling you from personal experience, that just makes you sound stupid. Then you go on about how major universities cost well over $2000 a semester. Where did I say it's cheap to go to a major university? Furthermore you go on about how I lack education about marijuana. Please show me a good source of how marijuana is good for anything other than recreational use? I have used marijuana a few times and I can't say anything positive about it.

[lathzz]

Mark; I am telling you that your personal exp. SEEMS to be lacking. Again, bottom line is that YOU support prohibition, a terribly damaging policy towards the American people and our society at large. ANYONE who thinks prohibition of a plant is a good idea and an enforceable law, is truly naive and lacking experience and/or retarded. I dont need to show you proof its good for other than rec use. If you have a brain(maybe you dont?)you can find that info. Its easy to find. Wake up fool.

[lpundrgrnd1]

fucking Christians want to ban drugs in America because of their fucking religion, where a cosmic ghost who created himself, suffered so u can live forever, but cant, because a chick was tempted to eat off a tree by a snake

EVEN IN THE BIBLE

he encourages smoking in "His" name

So legalize ALL drugs, because the government can get more money from DEA busts, by reselling on the streets, but if you legalize, they'll get less money in their pockets.Fuck the government and their propaganda!

[Fastlan3]

Clergy Speak Out Against the War on Drugs

Hopefully they continued with that and were not shut down by there church organization.

[bakbiets]

the drug war on the world is still barbarian times like 1000 year ago, those cristian bastards want total control, infecting our brains telling lies, the people who believe tv are so fucking dumb. Here in holland users can use drugs its no problem. Yet we not soffer so much crime like usa and other countries,holland Shows That legalize drugs causes less problems, anyway the devil (cristians) allows baddrugs like alcohol nicotine and caffiene are legal, common open eyes and get this system down

[usmcdevildog1171]

dont use the war to try to influnce a good law if its illigal dont do it and you get finacial aid dont knock the war i fight in bush can send me to war any day

[lathzz]

usmcdog; Please tell me just how Drug prohibition is a "good law". I see you are a Marine and therefore not allowed to think for yourself but c'mon man! You have a brain. USe it!

[usmcdevildog1171]

i can think for myself and i am allowed to think for my self i use to be a pot head and now looking back it was stupid if it were legal i would probably smoke but dont use the war that my friends have died in to promote your political agenda it is appling and you descrace thoes how made the ultiamate sacrafice

[lathzz]

Good job dodging the question entirely usmc. So lets have it. Please tell me how Drug prohibition is a "good law".  If you indeed can think for yourself, as you say, then answer the question.

[spinach43]

Carl Sagan said marijuana helped him write many of his books and inspired a lot of intellectual ideas in him. Recently, studies have shown that pot not only does not deplete cells in the brain, it actually creates more.

[ettoj]

This video lacks logic.

[420bmxer]

how the fuck does it lack logic???

[420bmxer]

FAKE WAR 9/11 was a inside job for control dont believe me

look it up for your self

[BradGrose]

Because everything you read on the Internet is right..

[420bmxer]

yea and i dont lessen to controlled media

because you know TV is one of the most controlled sources out there ehh

you know TV just there to brain wash you in to buying useless shit and telling you what you should think

where the internet is free and people tell you want they think

its not controlled by one source its controlled by many

so were do you get all your information from CNN HAH!!!

thats Freemason controlled right there

[NoumenalSoup]

This is illogical.

[madeyourmomaslut]

YAY!!!!! maybe i can finish school now

[passwordthisass]

Francis Crick came up with the DNA double helix under the influence of LSD . Carl Sagan an Arnold Shwarzenegger used pot regularly ! End the addict myth an end the war on drugs .

[heruursciences]

Think about it, it's the perfect racket! By denying student aid they're less likely to get an education and succeed in society and more likely to resort to "crime" to survive. In essence this is another example of policy creating a problem in society and mis placing the blame. In reality it creates a predatory industry based on the drugs bust prison disenfranchisement drugs cycle. Legalize the drugs and the industry dies taking 99%+ of the severe drug problems with it!

[AbuMuawwiyah]

Bush is a scum bag.....why doesn't he send his daughters to Iraq to entertain the troops....his own daughters have had some problems with substance abuse (mainly alcohol I think).

[MarijuanaLeaves]

It's never going to happen. The drug war will never end. There is way too much money to be had by keeping the drug war going! So what incentive is there to ending this war? ABSOLUTELY NONE!

[Pressence101]

It's not about ending the war. It's about keeping people out of school just because they smoke pot. I smoke marijuana, finished school, and have a nice paying job. I love my life, but if Bush had his way I'd have been forced out of school, and handed a gun for his petty war.

[madeyourmomaslut]

yeah, i was trying for two degrees at once, really motivated to succeed. but then came time for my appearance in court for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge, rather than turn my self in, i didn't show up, i willing got an FTA and dug my self deeper just to get some more financial aid.

[hunter24247]

i dont think ther is any thing rong with that i want to join up in canada not really to sure about the law up hear

[sexyhotlowrider]

typing this is the most of my action you will get from me. just tell americans to stop buying drugs STUPID. SUPPLY = Demand

[Criscokilika]

lol. agreed

[BSIndustriesContest]

Look at the damage it has done to Columbia and other parts of South America.

That's Bullshit.

[wiskawind]

A person can rape and murder and still get a grant for education, but OUR kids get caught smoking pot and they are screwed! This Drug War is a war on the American people, and it must stop! Wake the hell up people and check out the history of this drug war, and the damage it has done to Americans!

[Criscokilika]

I really could care less about the Drug Draft, however, wiskawind does make an excelent point.

[ScientologySucksAss]

There is no draft ya shit headed liar

[SPACE3200]

Thats right "LEAP" or LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAINST PROHIBITION has formed I bet you ask why.

THIS JUST IN FROM THE AMERICAN MEDICAL MARIUANA ASSOCIATION....TOP STORY: PUTTING DRUG WAR CRIMINALS ON NOTICE: "JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS" IS NOT A VALID DEFENSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW.

[bobyanny]

So our retarded government has finally decided to losen it's standards for military recruits with drug convictions......great

If you really wanted to boost your recruitment you should accept those who test positive for non-hard drugs like marijuana

I went to enlist right out of high school and never ended up a United States Marine because of their bullshit drug testing policies

FYI: YOUR LOSS......USMC.....I would have made a hardcore kick ass Marine

[SSDP]

It really doesn't matter whether you love drugs, hate drugs, or are indifferent about drugs. No matter who you are, the Drug War isn't working for you, especially this Aid Elimination Penalty.

By putting up roadblocks to education, we're making existing drug problems worse. That's why organizations like the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependence and the National Education Association stand with Students for Sensible Drug Policy in our opposition to this counterproductive law.

[CzeciStan1]

@SSDP Not to mention the fact that it lowers our standing in the world for education:(

[SSDP]

Criscokilika: No, we can't agree on that. People with drug abuse problems deserve our respect and understanding, just as we generally treat alcoholics with respect in our society. It's barbaric to disrespect someone simply because they have a drug addiction. That sort of stigma is what has fueled this endless War on Drugs to the point where the U.S. houses 25% of the world's prison population, even though we are only 5% of the world's total population!

[Criscokilika]

I can understand that drug abusers need our support and such but I hold no regard as for the reasons people choose to take up drugs. There is really no reason for such illeagal activity.

[filabusta2]

marijuana is not a drug and shouldn't be classified as one... its a plant.

[Criscokilika]

Filabusta2, marijuana is intoxicating silimarly to the way alchohol is.

[Jodi664]

But marijuana is untreated and naturally, and organically, grown. It would be considered herbal medicine with psychoactive effects. Marinol (synthetic THC supported by the government), on the other hand, IS a drug and has many detrimental effects.

[stevemurphy7878]

alcohol is worse for your body and mind, and it is legal. jackass.

[Criscokilika]

Honestly, it's hard to respect someone who abuses drugs, I think we can all agree on that.

[turdlinger5000]

please cut the bullshit, ok! people who do drugs are no differant then people who don't, infact i would say people who have never done drugs at all, are weak minded and futher more there missing out on a huge part of life.. and what this world truely has to offer, not just what the government wants you know about

[Criscokilika]

turdlinger5000, what do you mean "missing out on a huge part of life"? Drugs shouldn't be a huge part of anyones life!

[turdlinger5000]

your clearly one of the people i'm talking about.. i'm not saying you should go be a drug addict, but if you've never smoked pot or taken lsd or mushrooms for that matter.. then you have no clue where i'm coming from with my earlier statment ... and there are truely amazing things in this world that you will never know, and kicks and thrills you will never have the joy to experience

[Criscokilika]

okay... you are definatly hooked on something if you get thrills in life out of drugs. I enjoy my life fine and i have never used illeagal drugs and have never abused legal drugs.

[turdlinger5000]

then you will never understand what i'm trying to tell you... i wish you the best but.. there is more you could be getting out of life, i try and live life to the fullest and to me that means trying everything at least once, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING, and i don't see how you can make an accurate jugdement of something you've never tryed first hand, anyway we could argue this day and night and neither of us would be right

[ospididious]

You know TurdGuy, I've done all the drugs you're talking about and more. I wouldn't say that I'd take it all back and never do them, but I certainly wish I hadn't done as much or many as I did. Now, this Criscokilika person may never understand what we've experienced, but what about us and what he or she has experienced? I wish I could remember what life is like without the permatracers and the breathing walls and the paranoia and the mystery light.

[turdlinger5000]

you have a good point..

[leanonme1]

im pretty sure id like crak alot.thats why i dont try it, cause i know ill like it

[ospididious]

Crack is Whack, try hallucinagens.

[CadicusTheDamned]

Have you ever tripped your balls off on 'shrooms in a Japanese pachinko parlor?

You don't know what you're missing.

[chknmnkey]

Its even harder to respect a president that abuses power...he makes me soooo mad!

[ItaiZetsumei]

The drug conviction is against your first amendment (freedom of mind). The only reason you think it's bad (maybe you do or don't) is because it is demonized by Christians. 'Nough said.

[Nhockeyfreak]

hmmm..im 16, and can easily be convicted of a drug conviction. but it does seem logical that the president would let druggies into the army, but there are plenty of smart druggies out there too...and plus, this is the land of oppurtunity, and this drug conviction law is contradicting that.

[dabestdefense]

Sure drug prohibition sucks. The war in Iraq sucks. But this is propaganda. Typical liberal half truth. Bush has nothing against people with drug convictions going to college, he is just not going to provide them with aid to do so. The prohibition on drugs is messed up for sure, but this is not attacking the problem, only addressing one of the symptoms. Why would we want to fund someone through college who is too stupid to avoid a drug conviction anyway?

[calicheese23]

In 2005 The National Survey on Drugs and Health report funded by SAMHSA said that 37.5% of full-time college students will use illicit drugs annually. The more uneducated you are the more likely you will abuse drugs. Also don't forge that that 14% of drug users are black but 36% of drug arrests are black and 75% of people that end up in jail for drugs are black. Minorities deserve a fair and equal shot at education with financial aid..

[HerkMeck]

Seems like your the one f'ed up. Put the pot heads in the front line!

[calicheese23]

Calm down and drink your whiskey

[SSDP]

In 2003, a Pentagon commissioned RAND report said, "The [armed] services might be able to significantly expand their pool of potential recruits by adopting policies that target youth who plan to go to college..."

Hmmm. Policies that target youth. Sound familiar?

[loganbrentwalker]

Wow...can you guys find someone who understands audio production? This could be a LOT better with decent audio.

[imnotparanoiditstrue]

Because this is f**ked up, f**ked up i do love that song

this is along the same lines that we a spend lot more to keep someone in prison than we do to give them an education
