Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime

[kesterling2003]

Costa = liar liar pants on fire nose as long as a telephone wire.

[kesterling2003]

Anyone who believes the violence caused by the law is caused by the drugs should research the drinking alcohol trade in countries still engaging in absolute prohibition. Murder, kidnapping, torture, robbery, rape, impersonating police, and systemic corruption are all part and parcel of the business. Yes, in the year 2011, Google bootlegging and bootlegger if you don't believe it.

Ever hear of a crack dealer raping another crack dealer in the US? Those bootleggers play hard, and I do mean hard.

[kesterling2003]

Oh for the love of god, why would anyone believe that liar Joe Arpaio over people who actually live in the fucking country? Oh yeah, Sheriff Joe knows all, sees all, gets his employers sued left and right to the tune of 10s of millions of dollars because of his flagrant disregard for the law.

How can anyone be so stupid and still be alive? Sheriff Arpaio is an expert on Holland? BULLSHIT!

"Between 2004 and 2007, 2700 suits were filed against Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Federal and County Courts...

[kesterling2003]

I think it would be a much better thing for the world to execute the idiotcy that believes in executing people for not kowtowing to the asinine failure of the war on (some) drugs. Barbaric idiots that believe some of the most heinous assholes of all time, known liars making self serving statements with no backup whatever.

Fortunately most people are beyond feeding their base, animal bloodlust, so we're not going to have any executions, no matter how much these chimp brained people deserve it.

Think outside the box.Use the masked chalice,breathe deeply and see.Its all lies and BS,its a waste of time.Smoking weed every now and then will set you straight.Don't believe the lies.Thye want to feed you GMO's and nuke cooked plastic wrapped garbage.They don't care about you or what you want.You had human ancestors(yes its true,real human beings)maybe you should try and act like them.It might help the directionless sheeples who are mostly politically correct cowards who make democracy useless

[Casper48022]

Drug crimes are the fastest, easiest, and most profitable way for governments to control us.. The definition of "drug" will expand and expand until music, food, and even information are "drugs" .. .. It is the modern slave whip...

[b17vic]

This is the way of democracy. Systems and governments don't give one shit about individual people, all they care about is the machine. . . follow the rules. UN is bullshit, governments are bullshit. If you grow MJ GROW it FUCK the laws. . . people> claim your freedom, claim your rights. . . . just do it! Fuck people like the director prick who would have us ALL silenced. PERIOD!

[420roosterdotcom]

Wow, awesome video. Great post and great channel. Cheers!

[Necrotheman]

When are they gonna use some real EXPERT's in politics ??

[cbebop2411]

what is the first song?

[Czerniakowska]

The reason for Costa's obfuscation is because his position hinges on the continued support of the US, which ousted the disgraced fellow Italian who previously held the post.

[zesuo]

government deal wtih afganistan ,and with king of Marocco,

fuck all tha government

ce sont les gouverments qui controle, ils ne legalize pas, sinon il n'ya aura plus d'argent pour le crime, donc plus de koi effrayer les gens

[h3adhunt3r911]

I fucking love this guy, he seems to be acting well towards hopefully legalization or de-classification. Right on!

[HotFingersPirelli]

Idiots. Apparently Reefer Madness is still alive and well, and that's pretty damn sad! I've been to Holland and it wasn't what Americans told me it was. People told me that Amsterdam was dirty and that there were junkies everywhere, what a load of shit. It's a beautiful country and one that handles drug issues properly. Prohibition only creates a black market, it doesn't solve issues with drug use or addiction to hard drugs, it just puts people in jail. Maybe that's what the US wants, sadly.

[KripDrip]

EVEN IN AMSTERDAM its still ILLEGAL!

They still have restrictions and limits on how much weed people can buy!

But you can get as many bottles of booze and packs of cigarettes as you want!

Why couldnt even Amsterdam ever legalize marijuana? Its still technically illegal there but just tolerated. Whats stopping them?? Is there a worldwide government Conspiracy keeping it illegal? Is that the reason why theres not a single country in the World where its actually LEGAL?

[HotFingersPirelli]

@KripDrip Do some research on the UN Single Convention and you'll understand. Largely due to US pressure, anyone in the UN has to stand by this convention, which in part dictates that cannabis be lumped in with narcotics as 'dangerous' and 'deleterious to society' and so on. Ya know, the usual propaganda BS! But it's OK to drink and smoke cigarettes? Makes no sense, but it's all political. Check out the book "Cannabis: A History" by author Martin Booth, very enlightening!

[IFlick]

The marijuana war will rage now like never before. Troops are headed for the Mexican boarder. If they fail, our government will launch an offensive against marjiuana like nothing we've seen before. Civil liberties will have to be suspended until this crisis has passed. Nothing short of wholesale exicutions like those former L.A. Police Chief Daryl Gates advocated. Anyone, the sick, elderly, juviniles anyone caught smoking marijuana will be shot on site. No arrest, no trial.

[KripDrip]

Maybe if they stop breaking the law and follow the rules, they wont get shot!

[IFlick]

@KripDrip These individuals are morally reprehensible social deviants. With each one exicuted, five others will be discouraged from breaking the law. This is the only solution. We must harden our hearts. Each young person using narcotics contaminates dozens of others. We must not rest until we've eliminated every single man woman or child caught with the smallest amount.

[reymynam3]

man weed is not a bad drug... it helps lot of ppl

[Duphe]

I have seen many friends getting addicted to weed. it is not so bad as other drugs but it does harm. definately.

[BlacKaTeerZTV]

You can't get "addicted" to weed. THC is a non-habit forming chemical. Your friends may have smoked alotta weed but they weren't "addicted".

[Duphe]

of course you can. there is a difference between physical and psychological addiction, and weed makes many people psychologically addicted, whereas the nicotine physically.

[KripDrip]

so how come every single country in the world, Marijuana is ILLEGAL?

Theres not a single country on earth where Marijuana is 100 percent fully legal like alcohol and cigarettes are. It might be "decriminalized" or "tolerated" in a few places. Even in Amsterdam, its still technically ILLEGAL!

wtf

[bcainw]

Watch the video above:

Re-Legalize Marijuana Now Obama

Distribute far and wide. 2009 is the year we win!

[fairhillnorrie]

kill all drug dealers...

[tigerone1970]

Why? They're just providing a service people are willing to pay for. If drugs were legal, they would simply get business licenses and would have to operate within the law like everyone else.

[charlyganjaboy]

I agree. Legalization is the perfect way to control this service people are willing to pay for. Still, drug dealers also do shitty things like killing people.

[tigerone1970]

" I agree. Legalization is the perfect way to control this service people are willing to pay for. Still, drug dealers also do shitty things like killing people. "

Only because their business is illegal. You don't get pub owners killing eachother over a few crates of whiskey.

[BlacKaTeerZTV]

Exactly. Look at prohibition. Gangsters like Al Capone and others started all that killing and foolishness just to get alcohol to the people. As soon as prohibition was repealed, the killing over alcohol ceased. And alcohol is a worst substance than cigarettes, which is worst than weed, and weed is the only illegal one...

[tigerone1970]

And all the procurement crimes. Drug prostitution, burglaries, etc. would drop and even disappear if drugs were regulated. The street market in drugs would disappear because all addicts would get their drugs on prescription. Total drug use would decrease massively. The 'drug war' is responsible for a lot of crime.

[KripDrip]

lol

So if you LET people use drugs with NO RESTRICTIONS and have it fully legal and cheap, people will STOP using it???

that doesnt make sense.

[tigerone1970]

@KripDrip

" that doesnt make sense. "

It is what is called 'counterintuitive'. However, that is what happens. For instance, there are 500 coffeeshop in Holland, where you can by limited amounts of weed, hashish, and smartshops that have magic mushrooms, salvia divinorum and other psychedelics.

Drug use per capita in Holland is lower than in the countries around it, where these drugs are illegal.

[tigerone1970]

1) You take the trade off the streets, so only people who are looking for drugs come into contact with them.

2) There are age restrictions in coffeeshops, none on the streets, just as there are in pubs.

3) You take away the 'rite of passage' element of smoking weed, because anyone over 18 with cash can get a hold of it if they want to.

Same with Portugal.

[tigerone1970]

@KripDrip

Check out this clip:

What About Amsterdam - How Bad is Their Drug Problem

watch?v=hAJzU-mWc9Y

[keysersuze]

As a Dutch citizen, this kind of response does not surprise me. THERE IS NO DRUGPROBLEM. Problems are created, the Dutch just deal with it in a very succesfull way.

Furthermore, I think it is in everybody's NATURAL right to use substances that grow on their own planet. THIS IS OUR PLANET AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE EVERYTHING THAT IS ON IT, so: mushrooms, marihuana, ayahuasco, mescalin and so on, SHOULD BE LEGAL.

Another question is, whether it is wise for some people to use these substances.

[ElyanSun]

at 3:50 "we are not debating society we want solve the world problem", Old Goat we gonna remember that!!!Want solve Wold Problm SO Go

Hang youself and give our money back

[ElyanSun]

Fuck'em all Politics , they are Junks money addicts... And after that, Let's Eat them, as they're still alive.this day they'll know that we are not slaves donkey

[ase010]

The explanation politics are put by the same people who made the laws, gave us education ,television, wars and are the engineers of the western card house.

[6179301948]

card houses and tents - of course, with that kind of philosophy of life it is needed - by the way I am waiting in earnst for some pharmaceutical company to somehow figure out a way whereby they can insert their fangs into the ownership of anything related to the thc molecule -- ahh history, it will be interesting to see the worm turn

[Deloriand]

Antonio Mario Costa - stupid hipocrit. Everybodny knew what he do and not anyone say about this.

[makeas19]

wau como se yama la cancion del video?¿?

[SeRbUs]

i'll send the question with a period to this beast Costa

[bj0rnarj]

man i hate politicains, damn ignorant ppl

[levenismooi]

bloody ittitating music DESTROYED interesting vid.

[segn66]

I can do without the shitty music. wtf?

[hempdottv]

You can do without the music???

We can do without Costa!!!

Not everybody likes the same music ... but this clip is about something much more fundamental! How is it possible that the "Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime" is ignorent? Shouldn't he be better informed about the subject he is suposed to be an expert on? Why does he not want to hear an expert view or answer expert questions. It is much more shocking to hear Costa speak than to hear the music you complain about.

[Hashishin13]

@hempdottv "How is it possible that the "Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime" is ignorent?"

HAHA you Europeans have a LOT to learn about drug crime offices/ers. Proving your ignorance (or your ability for WILLFUL ignorance) is the very first qualification for becoming one of these morons, its the same throughout the globe, why you might ask? Its simple, the DEA has a GLOBAL mission.

[seanotube85]

@hempdottv Because he's selfish and just wants to keep his useless job. And the people who work for him want to keep their jobs too. It's a network of selfish people making money off of taxpayers really. I imagine he's being paid to spread this specific brand of propaganda by people who would like to make money off of drug traffickers. Making it illegal creates black market values which are much more profitable for everyone, including law enforcement and weapons factories. Really disgusting.

[holistic616]

costa dont answer why cos hes a tw@
