notice when hes giving his statistics at the end he dousnt reference marijuana at all he only references "drugs" and substances which is a very broad word to use to so please john get your words right and actually talk about the matter at hand. Also TIMES ARE CHANGING this is a fact that people from earlier generations need to grasp because further medical studies constantly show that marijuana is not addictive and can stimulate the economy.

Wait, wait.... I wasn't paying 100 percent attention. This guy's arguments suck big time. Get this guy off the panel. Is he still holding a public office? Vote him out, right away. Go Colorado!!!!

In Germany they don't call a tow truck to tow your car away, they call your cell phone and hope you can move your own car, and quick. The USA sucks for tons of reasons, but if they legalize marijuana, things will get better quickly.
