Anonymous 'OpCannabis' Vs War On Drugs

Via The Raw Story: "Members of the hacking collective [Anonymous], who were at the epicenter of planning and promoting "Occupy Wall Street" last year, announced earlier this month that April 20, 2012 would mark the beginning of an official "Anonymous" push-back against America's drug laws. Speaking to Raw Story this week, a person claiming to be a member of "Anonymous," who watched an attack on Sony's website from behind the scenes but did not participate, claimed responsibility for the group's new "OpCannabis" campaign, explaining that the operation is determined to throw the collective's weight behind drug reform...".* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks. Did Cenk almost smoke a joint on the air?

Making more drugs illegal is exactly what the gangs want. It puts the money straight into the hands of street gangs and mafias and creates tremendous amounts of violence. During alcohol prohibition in the 20's, Al Capone (among countless other gangsters) was stirring up massive amounts of violence in the US. Now most of the slaughter goes on in Mexico, a faraway fairyland for most Americans, and meanwhile gangs like the Bloods continue to kill Americans over drug money. This is not okay.

I had some room mates who smoked pot. They were simply dead head useless. Left when I ended up paying most of the rent and bills. Smoking while driving or after would be insane. Hell no for legalizing it. We should be getting rid of Cigarettes not making more junk to cause our body's harm. This Country doesn't need legalized pot. We need people to wake up to reality.

You don't smoke Hemp. It does nothing to you.

[llortcanada]

Should have ended 4 seconds later.

You are one crazy, idiotic mother fucker. You sober are more dangerous than anyone in the world who smokes any strain of pot.  And you sound religious, and there are very good arguments out there that if Jesus did in fact exist, he smoked marijuana. I hate you. Your ignorant, violent, intolerant comment should be removed. Fuck you. Asshole.

[mrfortyfore]

And alcohol too, which I think is the most harmful

[ttkoolkid50]

Mr.xXblessedsonXx, what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul..
