[tknick90]

i hope i have the pleasure to meet this man someday

[XMrCXify]

That was amazing! He always does a great job!

[musads]

This guy is incredible and he's right, this policy can not stand.

[firesnakepodcast]

Drug Free is Evidence Free. The drug free movement is anti-science, pro-biblical, homophobic, anti-choice, pro 'faith healing', covert, dishonest and malignant. From fatal malpractice to scientific fraud [cannabis causes chromosome damage, methadone takes 46 years off your life, condoms cause AIDS and clean needles create IV populations] they've kicked Australian progressive drug policy to death. Eg pot 'addicts', 'lethal skunk', lost generations. Human Rights must come before Religious Rites.

"because there is a PRICE for a slow learning curve!"

[wangdovish]

right on from a white nurse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are they bombing poppies for ?????????

legalize weed !!!!!!!!!!

Why are they bombing poppies in Afghanistan ?

[ajm48786]

Because theyre fightin dangurusss drugz,ha!That would be the day! They're doing it to try to fight the illicit trade; it does fund the Taliban & other dangerous folk; but don't forget: it funds dangerous people BECAUSE it is illegal.

Anyone who agrees with the irrational stance certain drugs should be illegal are on the same side as violent drug cartels or dealers. These criminals LOVE prohibition! Without it, they can't make $.It made the mob; they cried when Alcohol was made legal.

[NaeJoy]

@ajm48786 Uhm... when exactly was alcohol illegal?

[iMisanthrope]

@NaeJoy You're kidding right? The 1930's? Al Capone?  Chicago? Elliot Ness? Prohibition? That doesn't ring any bells? Even if the public education system failed you, Hollywood has made many movies and TV shows on the subject. Try Kevin Costner's "The Untouchables."

[NaeJoy]

@iMisanthrope I seriously didn't know lol. I'll check that movie out.

Don't ya think this guy sounds like Kermit the Frog?

[dnsbali]

he is probably the best speaker I know

[dick0biggy]

Ethan Nadelmann is one of the nicest, well spoken and intelligent people I have met in the movement. Its even better to see him speak in person.

[HydroDay]

You are right, they need more subscribers, tho I am Australian so my vote doesn't count even tho what happens there effects us.

[BLAZO666]

he says brown . . . not just black and white . .and for real f u guys who talk shit this guy is awsome and the dpa has my full support you guys are clowns and your probably still breastfeeding so this stuff doesnt even matter to you .. .

[dick0biggy]

white black brown yellow and red actually.

[mutantofnature]

i hate how they primarily only refer to white and black people, as if we don't have any other races of people in this country.

[edavismookie25]

Black and white make up the largest percentage of the population that are drug users.

[NoTeenViolence]

Actually, whites make up the largest percentage of people that are doing drugs: 75% of drug users in America are white. 74% of those locked up for drug crimes are black.

[XMrCXify]

@NoTeenViolence Yeah because more black people use marijuana than white people but black people tend to steer away from heavier hardcore drugs. So that just goes to show you that the prisons are more than likely overcrowded with marijuana users and distributors. Which is ridiculous!

[Tremordeth]

Thats not an amount of people to sneeze at and there are a lot of people who just don't subscribe... most of the people I know who are on youtube just don't subscribe to any channel

[thefakeyeti]

8:11- the end was my favorit part of the speech...

And i think the part a lot of people will agree with..

[50centonweed]

Yeah but the channel needs WAY more subscribers than it already has, ~1,500 isn't nearly enough subscribers towards how much work the channel owner puts into it.
