Personally, for the sake of argument, i'd rather like to see the gov legalizing all drugs, and controlling them. People might not agree with me, but i'd rather see drugs controlled by the gov, taxed, but free to use by everyone who wanted to, instead of having huge drug cartels indiscriminately becoming huge and army like, killing innocent people when they choose to.

Everything you've said falls apart after about 30 seconds worth of critical thought..

''Madness! Insanity! Murder!'' - as the Anti-drug leaflets of the 30s once said.. ever noticed that they stopped saying it? They realized people were smarter than that.

Evidently this News has not quite reached you..

The arguments about Cannabis turning people into serial killers had to be thrown out of the legal system altogether for the reasons Chomsky goes into in this very video; at least - if you decide to listen to the video, he does.

A lot of people don't study and don't go to work because they prefer to watch TV all day; should we criminalize Television? What about the alcoholics who (In FAR greater numbers) don't go to work, should Alcohol be criminalized in response?

''You don't understand how drugs work..''

For someone whose entire ''Argument'' relies on two pieces of circumstantial 'evidence' (Quote marks because you didn't give names for either one) - and who expects this bullshit to generalize to.. who? All drug users?

Yes, all cannabis smokers have an increased likelihood of becoming serial killers and forcing their babies to smoke cannabis. That's EXACTLY why there's so much Historic and Statistical evidence for this. Oh wait..

@Faerlon123 Yah but if the government legalized all drugs than they wouldn't have an excuse to militarize the police and send large portions of our population to jail.

@1messiahcomplex Richard Ramirez the serial killer, his habitual pot-smoking is recorded, several arrests for possession. Months ago I read this new about a mother forcing her baby to smoke pot, u can google it. You dont understand how drugs works. Yes, u may feel good and "peaceful" smoking pot, that is exactly the problem, people can do ANYTHING to get marijuana. If the pot its so good people dont study, dont work anymore, they prefer to spend the day smoking marijuana

@trifulquita15 you obviously weren't overburdened with education as a child.. when was the last time you heard of a guy stoned out of his mind hitting someone

[trifulquita15]
