  • Ron Paul says kill yourself through bad habits however you would like, we will stand aside only until you put others in harms way, (driving drunk), in which case, it's the responsibility of government to stop you. and yet, he's not in favor of legalization de jure (by law) more so de facto (choice) my stance, legalize it de jure for 50 years, then secretly take it off the books, in which case, it is now de facto (choice)

  • Its a political strategy that has worked for thousands of yrs ...divide and conquer , its been used by the authority and their media for wars of all kind , the truth of the matter is control of the masses , the war on drugs is just that ....the prisons rapidly built,. to all these drug task forces ,felonies on your record that keep you from getting a job,to the largest prison population in the world,of which 80% are in prison on drug charges ,democracy and Freedom are just words

  • @drmalamas No, thank the white man's widestretched use of the drug instead ;)

  • Now that's why Ethan Nadelmann is the man with two 'n's

  • @drmalamas Caffeine kills over 10,000 people a year, and all it does is make you work harder so you can buy shit you don't need.

  • As an autonomous being, I should have the right to consume whatever I choose as long as it does not harm others.

  • -excellent points, extremely important & unfortunately rather secret

  • The only drug I use is coffee. Thank God is not illegal.

  • why can't we all just get a bong?

  • I'm central american and I loved fucking my white girlfriend at the time when I was stoned, she was beautiful and yup, great ass looked good on my dick. Let me live damn you!
