yes, the medications that make big pharmacutical companies rich are legal, even though they are more dangerous then a lot of the drugs that are illegal... because big pharma can lobby government beyond what any individual can. Problem is, though, that the government has no legal authority to make certain commodities illegal. (read your constitution starting with amendment 10 and then the section about what congress is able to legislate). I am a non user that 100% supports legalization.

I know a website that offers a secret code that produces 90% success ratio on gold trading. Go check them out, just google Gold Trading Academy and make as much money as you want.

I agree with your feelings on legalization, but I am off-put by the sloppiness of your thinking. Cramer's hyperbolic remark seems barely worthy of comment, yet you present it as an astute observation from a respected source. Did you somehow tune out the rest of the interview in which this man's reputation turns to complete shit in front of millions of viewers? It seems to me you are missing the forest for the trees. Stewart's interview tackles far more interesting fare than the war on drugs.

Absolutely! Opponents of legalized marijuana want to throw all recreational drugs into one basket to scare others into opposing it. The other tactic is to claim that all these marijuana zombies will be out on the road behind the wheel of a car. Of course, if that were true, they'd be in the fast lane doing twenty miles an hour! I'm tired of the "nanny" government and the religious right dictating our moral choices to us!

I love when people assume that legalization means 7-11 selling crack cocaine and infants getting sold heroin in daycare parking lots (ok that's a little sarcastic but hey). Probably the only drug (among the currently Illegal drugs) that would be available without a prescription IF we ever legalized, would be marijuana/hashish. Hard drugs would be obtainable only by proven addicts and only thru a doctor.

@djbricksta It is somewhat clear that money IS going to the mafia. There's no denying there'll always be drugs, there'll always be dealers and there'll always be people wanting drugs.

@Kubenzi86 I swear the greeks were already getting high on ergot infested bread like over a thousand years ago no? Also, lisergic acid amide is naturally ocurring in plant material and flower seeds,flowers as common in the west as morning glory contain LSA which you can look up by yourself if you are interested. Stones throw from lisergic acid diamide.

@stupaod

Crack might be considered a synthesized form of cocaine, i'm not sure.

[stupaod]

I think your right about cocaine...I was under the impression that it was semi synthetic but I guess its an extract

[Kubenzi86]

@stupaod There were never drug addiction problems on the current scale, before prohibition. People used to just buy heroine at the pharmacy and abuse it like kids abuse cough medicine today.
