Students Advocate Drug Legalization in El Paso

[nightdevil6666]

lol fuck mexico, let them kill eachother. or let our military destroy your country just to take out the cartels the choice is yours , then again mexicans arent really good at making smart choices are they?

[mphello]

This is why we need courageous people like the Greek rioters or the Oklahoma City bombers or the Oslo Norway bombers or the Libyan rioters to stand up to these fascist anti-free-speech conservative terrorists.

If they use force and violence against even SPEAKING about drug choice, then they have no right to complain about someone using force and violence against anything THEY want to do, like their jobs.

[nightdevil6666]

legalize drugs and the violence will only flood el paso and the cities arround us. leave your fucking problem in your fucking country. dont bring it here, we dont need it. we dont want it. and its not our fault that your to scared to visit your family in juarez. maybe they should move? or maybe you should not have moved here in the first place if you cant handle being away from your familly. sorry if im blunt but its just not our problem. im tired of the USA dealin with others problems.

[capone6080]

@nightdevil6666 You need to seriously grow the fuck up... You have a problem I can help a little smack across your thick head might loosen something up. You want our sorry excuse for a government to keep taking our rights and freedoms away. It's all happening because of the drug war.. It needs to end.

[nightdevil6666]

@capone6080 you cry to much.

[rectify2003]

@nightdevil6666 @capone6080 You are right @nightdevil6666 is a little teenage troll whos on his parents computer whilst they are not home. Don't take him seriously, face to face he would wet his pants and cry lol

[nightdevil6666]

@rectify2003 fuck yes im a troll. teenage no. just fucking hate el paso and fucking HATE mexicans and the fact they bring nothing but problems to the U.S anyway successfully trolled fags :D

[zwerxHD]

@nightdevil6666 Your probably one of the worst kids ever. Your just too stupid 'cause your family is all here and your white ass doesnt care for anything except your little shitbox 360. You dont understand whats happening if we legalize drugs the 'drug war' stops not completely but it will put an end to the murders. Personally if you smoke weed it helps your eyesight, and everyone will get tired of it and end up not using it much. Same goes with ecstasy, meth, cocaine, herion, and LSD. (Moron)

[nightdevil6666]

@zwerxHD you must be mexican. sorry but my statement still stands no matter how ignorant you are. keep your fucking problems in your own country. we dont want them. whe have enought of our own. "moron"

[nightdevil6666]

@zwerxHD god damn yall are a buncha fucking tards. i love my pot but fuck you if imma fuckin have it legalized for a beaners sake. point made .

[zwerxHD]

@nightdevil6666 Lol :D I live in El Paso and bing mexican has nothing to do wih i. Theres white drug dealers too and the 'drug war has been here your just too focused on video games that you never noticed. Idiots nowadays

[nightdevil6666]

@zwerxHD oh god you really are a persistent little shit aint ya, anyone could go on about the issu but the face remains. people dont cut off peoples heads and post them on doorsteps in the usa, people do not hang burned bodies from bridges in the usa. only the people you are defending do these things. fuck you and fuck mexico

[nightdevil6666]

@zwerxHD sorry what you beaners do in juarez is fucking ridiculous. keep your problems in your own country . trolled

[jenn1ifer]

drugs do NOT need to be legal!

[Sasukelegend5]

@jenn1ifer my feelings are that if it grows naturally it isn't a drug... in regards to meth, crack, cocaine, and abuse of morphine, AND anything along produced drugs then ya that's a different story... Marijuanna, and shrooms.. there is another plant that begins with a p.... but i don't know what it means... the issue is when you can't go without a few hours even without a drug... marijuanna helped me calm down enough to actually get help... but i don't use it anymore... it's all how it's used.

[bobshenix]

@Sasukelegend5

Morphine is natural by the way... ever heard of the Opium Poppy?? And there are plenty of naturally occurring plants and compounds that are harmful/deadly to humans, yours is a very naive and idealistic view of drug use... no offense.

[traefilmer]

@jenn1ifer did you even listen to the issue?

[zwerxHD]

@jenn1ifer Lol aanother one who is too stubborn to admit that legalizing drugs 'is' the answer.

[nightdevil6666]

@jenn1ifer wow your the only person with a brain in this thread. im just trollin because i love seeing this guys get worked up over anything that is against what they think

[DaLifespan]

u guys in el paso know not who to vote for

on ur council now eh?

[MrSleeps]

its sad most americans are afraid of their goverment and what it will do to them if they speak out and its not supposed to be that way the goverment should fear we the people but in this day and age it seems most american are content to be treated like cattle and told what they can and cannot do even though we are "free" and until we the people make decide we aren't gonna take it anymore this kind of thing will continue

[yescamotamarijuana]

if weed becomes legal then the police and other law enforcement agencies will makes less money . marijuana has medical and industrial potential. stop cutting down forests for paper and use hemp instead. that's just one example. I hate how a pharmaceutical company can artificially make thc and sell it as medicine under federal law yet marijuana is illegal. alcohol and tobacco kills people all the time but o no marijuana is too dangerous to make legal and regulate like those two proven deadly

[tapper45]

those council members are weak and shortsighted.

they are afraid of how their actions will be viewed.

they are afraid of the repercussions of their decisions.

in the face of adversity, how many decisons are easy?

would el paso lose state and federal funding?

yes, but change has to start somewhere.

ask what every other decision that has been made and policy implemented so far done to bring a positive resolution to this issue.

legalization sounds radical but so does billions spent in vain.

[jenn1ifer]

drugs do not need to be legal. that is not the answer

[fistedsaxe]

@jenn1ifer ya they do

[tapper45]

way to stand up Nubia.

[ntn1987]

The government is being corrupted by money from the underworld attained from drugs illegalisation. The longer we continue to be ignorant about it, the more power the underworld will obtain. Shame!

[buggfire]

once again worthless green paper has trumped the emotional outcry of the growing youth. those people who changed their votes are monsters! sick human beings who need to reevaluate their priorities in life. is money important or a child's life and future?

[truthBtold007]

I don't know if anyone even noticed..but congress lifted the ban on automatic weapons during the bush administration..for what reason?...do we really need to hunt deer with assault rifles..come on..90% of guns used by the cartels are american right?..how can we end border violence?..by reinstating the ban and legalizing the "use" not the distribution of marijuana..thats a start right?

[dakutube]

yes we do need to hunt deer with assault rifles and not only is it american it is also other countries, also border violence will always be there, legalizing the use of weed and not the distribution, will just make people grow their own and sell to others whom they trust, that won't do shit

[truthBtold007]

wow!..if you have to hunt a deer with and automatic weapon i guess that makes you a pretty shitty hunter huh?..oh and you must not know nothing of our government...if they ever did legalize marijuana..they would tax it..and yes that would mean more money for all of us...stupid!

[dgreene11235]

@truthBtold007 OMG. Hush. Legalizing marijuana has nothing to do with taxation, although the revenues from might be motivation to legalize it. Everything you buy has a tax, and it is just a little higher for things like alcohol. If marijuana was legalized your would see the quality increase and the price decrease. Thats capitalism. I hate when people start talking about taxes when drug legalization comes up, it just shows your ignorance.

[yellowkrux]

They didn't lift the ban on automatic weapons, they chose not to renew the Brady law which prohibited "assault" weapons, automatic weapons were never banned you could always get one w/ a permit.The best of what the brady law did was ban magazines that carry more than 10 rounds & silencers , most of the rest was just cosmetic.

PS

Arm=weapon, not hunting tool, we have the right to bear arms, not the right to bear hunting tools.

[sarahleanos]

I am sooo proudof you nubia!!! <3<3<3 sarah

[sjcpal]

couldn't they think ahead and legalize it sell it and tax it ....wouldn't the money they make off the taxes make up more than the grants they would have received... You would see tons of Americans flooding there to buy it...They would have a lock on the market ...like Amsterdam

[tedhuntington]

smart video

[K20Powered]

El Paso city council members are damn cowards. I dont see why we need that extra federal and state money, we have fort bliss for god's sake theyre expecting thousands upon thousands of soldiers to be relocated here so the city wont lose out on that money since most of the soldiers money will be spent here. I feel for that girl, i havent been able to vist my dad's side of the family for over a year now.

[truthBtold007]

it's america homie!!!...where the rich stay rich and the poor keep struggling...city council are all puppets being tugged on by the state..and who runs the state?...right-wing christian conservatives..it will never pass..even though we need it to do something...quick!

[svuhelter7]

it passed in mexico!!!homie!!! i grew up poor in brooklyn ,ny..and today i am rich!!! because i am strong and have direction..! your problem is your to weak to go get it ..so. you want to blame others!!!people like you make me sick!!

[truthBtold007]

ok..your point?...i'm glad you rich..good for you..i too struggled while growing up..but the point i was making is that right wing republicans control the money in this country..yes even the money you think you have..so i was commenting about how el paso city council..have no balls to stand up to these guys who run texas..so do me a favor next time you run your mouth..do a little background on the subject your attempting to discuss...pendejo!

[GilbertsonDerick]

The war on drugs can only be fought by the parents and only for their own children. It's called parenting, and a school-based organization like D.A.R.E. is not a substitute for it.

I'm just getting tired of having to deal with coke heads just to get some simply sweet bud.

[ALITL8]

i heard that! why cant i just grow a little in my home for personal use? i pay more than $30 a year for a fishing license, why cant i purchase a personal use grower's permit or better yet, just leave me the hell alone!

want to stop illegal drugs from coming over the borders? legalize drugs... let the free market (supply and demand) handle the rest.

prohibition has never worked... EVER!!

[joshgeek1]

listen to this girl! she lives this problem every day. we cannot allow the status quo of doing gov't business interrupt the advancement of this discussion or the achievement of freedom.

[MikeCANN]

We are winning! Let's finish it. Seeing it everyday in our cities and towns in MA.

[croolmaniac]

wow.. very touching.

btw  where can i get that song??

[Hicksville]

Btw this chick did a fucking outstanding job, almost had me tearing up at one point...

Alright it did cry, I did.

[Hicksville]

The war on drugs (read: prohibition 2.0) is the most destructive social policy failure of any government, ever. It's destroying countries and cities all around the world. 10% of the world economy is now in the hands of terrorists, organized crime, corrupt regimes and violent gangs--AND FOR WHAT EXACTLY? How fucking absurd and backwards ass this world can be, giving this market on a silver platter to the last ones that should "control" it?

[iGabe]

In these first 100 days is Obama willing to stop our government defunding, bullying and killing in other countries over drugs?

Real sad speech. Powerful girl.

Stir up some noise people. :-)

[garycsan]

This is about a courageous act by a Mexican girl and cowardly capitulation by local politicians in the face of federal and state coercion.
