he made a good point about overdoses in that prohibition in and of itself contributes to the rise in overdoses, particularly with heroin, due to no regulation on purity, thus all batches of said drug are variable.
-
Bill Bennett is a complete retard
-
you had me till you started hating on wake n bakes

alcohol does more damage only because far more people drink than smoke crack heroin or meth. Since its legal cheap and widely available, more people drink alcohol. If all those other drugs were legal and sold in every store and was cheap for even the poorest people, far more people will die.
-
theres no "kind of legal". Either its legal or illegal. Which one is it?
-
the drug war is working. If you think drug use is bad now, look how bad it was decades ago.
-
because more kids use marijuana than any other illegal drug. It wouldnt make sense.
-
were u laughing from? I dont see any other countries making marijuana legal?
-
Nadelmann had a slam dunk against Bennett and he fucked it up regarding kids having more access if marijuana is legal. Drug dealers don't ask for I.D. And licenses for selling marijuana will not be easy to get. And they aren't going to risk losing that license by selling to someone who is underage.
No one should be in prison for possessing marijuana.
If marijuana were sold in liquor stores it would probably the least harmful thing in the entire place.

"That's a poll. That's a poll. That's a poll"
Typical right-wing argument strategy.
When the opponent is making a perfect argument, the right wing contributor always yells out rude, interruptive, nonsense.
Just shut the fuck up and let him speak!
