Aaron Houston: Legalize All Drugs, Not Just Marijuana (2011 Intl. Drug Policy Reform Conference)

Aaron Houston is executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, where he leads a movement of student activists with a presence on more than 200 campuses around the world. In this captivating, courageously candid speech, Houston demonstrates the value of using our own personal stories to overcome the stigmas and stereotypes that sustain drug prohibition. In doing so, he describes how he developed the conviction that we must legalize all just drugs, not just marijuana -- and how his own personal experience with drug addiction led him to that conclusion.

The war on drugs, poverty, terrorism. are all endless, unwinnable wars. It is a waste of our time and energy and obviously, will never work. Its ok to be a pharma addict because its legal. That is the defining difference, scripts are legal, There lacks any distinguishable difference between illicit and prescription drugs. The corporatazation of the USA is the enemy, fascism, not these ridiculous wars against the people. How many people are we going to incarcerate? Its just deplorable.

Thank you. Maybe your honesty will spread. Maybe it will encourage others to be honest.
