there is literally not ONE legitimate argument against legalization.

He talks about how marijuana would be more available if it were legalized. How so? Drug dealers have no problem selling to kids. I would know because I was buying when I was 16.

actually, cannabis use wouldnt change much, but the recruitment to other drugs will be reduced a lot, its because of the dealers and criminal environments that people so easily start using harder drugs, because of criminal environments and dealers there is a much higher possibility that someone will push other drugs on you, in a legal sale the cannabis use would be much the same, but no one would start pushing other drugs on you if you were buying weed in a store.

that is actually proven, without a starter drug there is no drug to teach you about intoxication, and since alcohol is legal there is nothing stopping you from getting it, but since prohibition against any drugs causes problems the only thing we can do is legalize drugs, not banning drugs, making alcohol would start a whole new mafia war, we already have mafias fighting over the drug business, the war on alcohol didnt work and the war on drugs will never work either.

07:53 sounds like two unison robots

[Chase Beast]

I love how the smarter person is always the one who is pro legalization.

Gov Christie vetoed the decriminalization bill so he is just a liar he just wants support

[jbibm81]

The NL are moving away from their past policy because of tourism, not their own usage.

[Neil Schmidt]

"Pot" as this dimwit called it IS NOT A GOD DAMNED DRUG. How many times does it have to be said? Cannabis is not a drug.
