The War on Drugs with John Stossel 3of6 War on Drugs in Colombia

[Scattnam]

We must continue to end drugs, do you libtards have any FUCKING CLUE what it does to your body? USE YOUR HEAD! WE NEED TO BAN CIGARATEES! Fuck liberals, i hate my taxes going to help those addicts who destroy themselves.

[Fike2308]

Sanho Tree looks like the asian guy from The Hangover.

[ca1cifer]

I hate it when people say "illegal is illegal". Something is illegal because we decided to make it illegal!

[CCRULES05]

I would love to take a bat to that male politicians head, he has no grasp on reality.

[videomakerman1232]

LMAO grow bananas!  Stupid polititions.

[salientfilm]

so how are the pesticides affecting the health of the people in the area?

does the US even give a damn?

[taitofritters]

why don't they give them something else to grow! like lentals they dont go mouldy easy and there practical to carry or like teach them to make flour they wouldnt tell the difference in texture or wieght just taste

[donniedarkodevotte]

Fuck those assholes. I'd be out there shooting their planes down as they sprayed my field. That would be MY carrot.

[drimacus86]

"all the money america gives..." goes into the hands of a very few wealthy landowners

[fab006]

"An illegal activity is an illegal activity." In a foreign country....?!

[ontariobuds]

It's so fucked that they think that their laws that were made for America apply to other countries. I know that what they do ends up in America and it may be illegal in Colombia but they go about it the wrong way. America gets too involved in other countries.

[floridaman2000]

I support the war on drugs and i suggest that anyone who owns and or posesses any illegal substance should spend at least 40 years in jail minimum NO EXCEPTIONS, if we had THAT law then the war on drugs would be more winnable

[rsohlich1]

@floridaman2000 hahahaha still wouldn't touch it. The drugs (MONEY) HAS TOO MUCH POWER, it can't be stopped. Why can;t you accept that most drug addicts would NEVER harm a fly if it were legal. Heroin makes you relaxed and happy, but since its addictive and illegal, makes people go to more desperate measures because of the high prices, BECAUSE ITS ILLEGAL. Are you retarded like so many? Bahahahaa Sheep

[GhibliFan1]

@floridaman2000

Steve Jobs said taking LSD was one of the most important things he ever did, and it was typical of the early pioneers of silicon valley to take acid or mushrooms, which gave them most of their ideas and inspiration. If they were in prison for "40 years", I can guarantee you would NOT be sat there typing your bullshit on such a thing as a 'Home Computer'. May as well go and burn all your music CD's, too, as 90% of musicians would have been in jail in your screwed up world.

[fuvkyougoogification]

@floridaman2000 yea thats it, jail up addicts and spend more of YOUR money.

Fine with me, I dont mind living free off the system :)

[fuvkyougoogification]

@fuvkyougoogification Enslaved anyway....



[ThatBigForehead]

Destroying drugs increases the price. Kids cannot afford it so they just don't bother!?!?

Wow they are kidding themselves big time. If the kids cannot afford it they go and rob to get money because the drug takes over their body, surely they know this?! Also if the price increase so does the profit so getting involved in making or selling drugs becomes mire attractive so more get involved making the supply the same. Destroying drugs or stopping them coming into a country does fuck all.

[Berelore]

Who the F**k gave our government the power to kill the crops of the citizens of another country.

[Scorpitarios]

How would the U.S. like it, if Saudi Arabia would spray herbicides to kill off grapes in California? I mean, alcohol is illegal over there, isn't it? If the U.S. has a right to destroy coca and poppy farms in foreign countries, then Saudi Arabia would have the right to do the same with grapes too, right?

[Phantasmos]

The US uses Drug Money to wage Wars, how do you think the war is being paid for?

[Berelore]

@Phantasmos

It's not being paid for that's part of the reason our debt is through the roof. The drug trade is how the CIA and other agencies fund their off the books programs not our open wars.

[Phantasmos]

@Berelore, or so you think... They may not pay for wars, yet they do pay for some weapons. Like arming Mexican Cartels, Libyan Rebels and any other nation that has a resouce the US needs.

[solomon8833]

The guy at 5:34 is barely evolved from a monkey. Just clueless.

[amalt37]

What's ironic is how the DEA talks about how illegal pot farms and clandestine drug labs pollute the environment, yet they(the drop tons of chemicals that are way more harmful and on a much larger scale. If the DEA really cared about the environment they would allow these illegal farms and labs to operate legally above board and be subject to the same environmental regulations as any other farm or chemical manufacturing lab. The DEA just wants money & power.

[SchizophrenicCheese]

for some reason it seems like it should be alot more illegal for U.S. planes to invade and poison the fields of a foreign country than for a poor family to grow poppy plants as a means to survive. american most arrogant fucking nation. one nation under god? oh really? why just one? why just ours, and, more importantly, did this god have any say in it, or are just that mighty and powerfull?

[MrSteveykk]

Drug money funds terrorism *sigh* don't start this bullshit scaremongering again. Sure some money might go into terrorists hands but you can say this about all business ventures even legal ones. It just cheapens the argument against prohibition.

[Airportris]

somehow these so called "uncivilized" people can sell drugs without problems and police presence... but it couldn't work in america? lol war on drugs is a joke

[DeathtoAmeriCANTS]

These fuckin ppl are ppl YOU AMERICANTS VOTED for. U all have the power to change it. CHANGE YOUR FORIGN POLICY.

[baby13sc]

fuck the war on drug. more like a war on our freedom!!

and why does this video have about 10000 hits, when that fucking orange thing has over millions and millions

[mastashaker916]

@ 0:46

DIE DRUGS DIE!!!

[msarraj1]

why does the US like to put it's nose in every single issue in every single country?

[MiClLC]

I guess an illegal activity in the US is an illegal activity in the rest of the world? Someone please shoot this guy in the face b4 I do.

[jellyrcw12]

Well I've officially decided the war on drugs needs to end.

[zampdachamp]

Where does the US NOT invade?

[Airportris]

@zampdachamp thats because the u.s government and the cia are the biggest drug dealers in the world, check out the cia plane that crashed with 2 tonnes of coke headed for the united states. and think about it you got COLUMBIA, then you got D.C district of Columbia, and in Canada there is a province called british columbia, and you can track ll this back to the queen of england and the royal families, this is all fact, check it out

[rumberita12062010]

colombia is the best country in the world but yeah it has this wich i dont think its that bad!!dont blame them drugs are wat ccome to them!!

[magicidiot12345]

Why is America allowed to spray fields in Columbia?

[ArcyTheFurryArcanine]

Fascism:

Poisoning the poor

[JackLefty]

one of the best channels 5 stars for channel

[Ruben78596TX]

5:24 fucking faggot, piece of shit go suck some cock you fucking rich mother fucker. they're just trying to get money to feed their families

[silversobe]

End the failed drug war which provides the outrageous profits for drug lords and cartels. Regulating these substances would eliminate cartels and end the violence, turf wars, and kidnappings related to black market buisness. Prohibition never works. It only backfires

[aldoreshgaramok]

5:24

This guy is such a fucking scumbag I don't even know what to say.

[theyasin33]

Columbia is our biggest ally in South America and yet they produce the most drugs coming into America.. Makes you question a lot of things..

[iao967]

the war on drugs is never going to stop

[rageingpassivist]

is it just me or did anyone else notice that john stocil's nose sounds plugged LMFAO!! listen to the difference when he talks in columbia fucking hilarious man around all the best blow in the world my nose would be plugged too and i'd be acting like hunter s thompson if i was reporting .

[fenriz218]

Wanna win the war on drugs?

Well, take an advice from somebody who's just smoking a joint that he legally purchased in a coffeeshop: say the magic words "legalize it" and the next thing you'll hear is a loud "SNAP" - that would be the backbone of the drug cartels!

But I suspect that, what the politicians don't tell is: "we have an interest in fighting a war against drugs" - "but we have no intention of winning or ending it ...".

[vanni9283]

@fenriz218

Sounds like another familiar war that our previous president got us into!!!

[fenriz218]

@vanni9283 Oh, I remember: that little war on terror thingee ... we can bet which war will be won first. $100,000 say that it will be the war on drugs. Bet steep and worry not ... we're not likely to see the end of either war ... :)

[leolopesantos]

Yankees ... U can't expect nothing else from them but prejudice and war. The politicians in America are so thick that they should stop the demand ( their own people) from buying drugs but instead they drive others to starvation on poor countries ! America is the country where consumption of drugs is higher than everywhere else.

[selfrealizedexile]

"Yankees...prejudice"

Irony overload.

[Knoss]

They've tried to stop the demand, its only helped street gangs and has done as much harm to America's poor as it has to Columbia's

[David2751]

@Knoss It's Colombia, not "Columbia" ignorant!

[laetrille]

It is outrageous that some politicans keep this war alive

[dmana3172]

@laetrille I wholeheartedly agree with you 100%. The only way to end the war on drugs is to abolish the controlled substance acts of 1966. And if we can get the Federal Government to do it, then everyone can have cocaine, marijuanna, and others they want as well.

[Kingdoc1976]

We spend billions trying to stop it while the mexicans & such get richer & richer.

[TheMedievalMan]

@laetrille Its how it works. If a politician says hes against the "war on drugs". He wont get votes from all of the "soccer moms" and "moral soldiers" out there, that make up the majority of voting Americans. Just like prohibition almost a hundred years earlier. History has repeated itself.

[sandpersn7]

I agree, its bad enough that governments try t regulate what people pit into their bodies. But they're also trying to regulate what people in foreign countries what to grow on their own land?! The arrogance baffles me. Lets go and tell fast foods to put an end to their trans fats and to instead serve the bananas or sugarcane that these poor farmers are forced to grow.

[laetrille]

Good to see there are still smart people around.

[PAWNZ859]

What the hell is wrong with our nation! We have no right to tell anyone what they cannot grow, we are causing turmoil and poverty to all farmers our planes destroy.
