None of the videos address what people should do when faced with such situations and there is no caution on what they should and should definitely not do to not play into the hands of certain inds of individuals. That is vital, if any of this is to matter or make a difference.
Very, very, important fact that he mentions: Between 1776 and 1914 ALL drugs in this country were legal. Think about that. You ask yourself, then, "so what happened after 1914"? I'll leave that up to the listener/reader to do some studying to find out what's actually occuring by "outlawing" certain drugs and calling them a "controlled substance". Bottom line -- Mr. Szasz is more than well-informed and knowledgable about his subject matter. Sadly, the vast majority of citizens/politicians aren't
@kevinneslund In 1913 the private federal reserve bank began. I believe marijuana was criminalized because it threatened to supplant paper, cotton and many other profitable goods at the time. I also believe hemp products could have replaced many petroleum products of the time, so the oil companies were all for making it illegal.

It would be great if Szasz had a blog or video diary. Someway to keep in touch with the people who admire freedom and his work.
Hear our voices, give us a video blog!
