TrueLeaks - Ron Paul on Cannabis & personal freedom

[TheStian93]

The government is worried for us, so they send us to prison.

They want the best for us, so they send us to prison.

They want to make people feel safe, so they send their friends and family to prison.

They ruin lives of honest working men by criminal records.

This is the only case where the police and the drug gangs are on the same side...

Please, dont make me into a criminal for smoking some natural herb, its not the 1950's for christ sake...

Leaglize it and do your thing, make money...

[tfelbo]

Jeez.. This is the most intelligent american politician Ive ever heard of... Wish I could vote.. I love this guy!

[Kaluszko1965]

I am from Slovakia and i am liberal/ if i were in USA i would prefer democrats but this guy looking so trustfully.I hope his opinions about FED/personal freedom aren't some kind of populism and he will realize what he promised.  Ron Paul for President !

[cyberwaffles]

coke and heroin are terrible drugs, but it's crazy how there are less deaths from those drugs than prescription drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. don't we live in a backward ass country or what?

i'll take weed and shrooms any day before the pathetic excuse of the aforementioned drugs.

[cyberwaffles]

man, i was just downtown in new orleans walking every where to get 2 grams of kush and i end up getting my money taken by some scrub. this is the second time i've been ripped from someone down here. not only is chronic 20 bucks a gram, which is bullshit, i lost 40 and gave the dude fucking chicken. i'm sick of this shady bullshit, legalize weed so i can buy it in a store and keep it away from the criminals. heck, i can't even get incense out here legally. i miss colorado.

[Pn0ybr3aker]

seriously though why do people bitch so much about a harmless plant

for fuck sakes im not hurting/disturbing anyone just for smoking a fatty outside

[cyberwaffles]

@Pn0ybr3aker you're right. think about it, what do you usually do when you're high? sit around, laugh, talk, eat, sleep; things you do sober! what difference does it make that i'm experiencing an altered state of mind? at least its not alcohol where you have a higher chance of intoxication, get violent, alcohol poisoning, black out, etc. where getting there though. we had about 49% who supported weed legalization in california; it's only a matter of time.

[Pn0ybr3aker]

@cyberwaffles yep after all how many people have died from alchohol and tobacco abuse, millions of people

and yet there hasnt been one report of death from using/overusing marijuana

its quite stupid really

[urallinsane]

ALL DEMOCRATS, LIBERTARIANS, AND INDEPENDENTS WHO ARE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO HEAR RON PAUL'S MESSAGE NEED TO REGISTER AS REPUBLICANS SOON AND VOTE IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION. THIS IS THE ONLY HOPE TO END THE WAR ON DRUGS.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONSIDER YOURSELF A REPUBLICAN, BUT RATHER A RONPAULICAN.

[WitchShit]

Legalize marijuana

[Fightz4Dayz]

Amen. Peoples freedom of choice I love it!

[WeAskThePeople]

LEGALISATION MEANS putting people in HOSPITAL not JAILS..

LEGALISATION MEANS health care for sick addicts

LEGALISATION MEANS no violent crimes

LEGALISATION MEANS stop POLICE confiscation of property

LEGALISATION MEANS spending DRUG MONEY on EDUCATION

LEGALISATION MEANS free choice for HUMANS

I don't think I'd do hard drugs ..if the ILLEGALITY was repealed.

I have enough knowledge to KNOW. that they aren't good for ME.. including PRESCRIPTION DRUGS> ALCHOHOL> TOBACCO> 3 big KILLERS

not Cannabis

[chinhhhhh]

@WeInfringe2 Yea because Alcohol and Cigarettes has killed millions of people over the yrs and Marijuana has killed 0.

[artyfarty3]

Absolutely 100% right ! Legalise marijuana , decriminalize all other drugs and prostitution ! Let people be the judge of their own free will to what they can or can not do to their bodies .

When it comes to children then sure there should be law and regulations there , but the adults should have a free will and choice - without the indignity and fear of incarceration .

[indignant99]

Damn you, Stossel. Quit using that "incredulous" tone of voice.

[LeJimster]

@indignant99 he makes me LOL. =)
