But...but...but ......what would we do with all of those empty prisons? How would terrorists fund there many operations?

Oh you terrible inconsiderate man you! Shame on you for thinking! Go drink a large glass of fluoridated water and stop all that 'thinkaficating '

I'm sorry but what a pathetic interview. Jacob Sullum is one my heroes, and this host waits untill the last 30 seconds before he lets Jacob lay out his argument against prohibition--the topic of dicussion! Thom needs to find another profession if he shows this level of disrespect to every guest on this show. - But maybe this was the result of having a "pro-drug" guest on the show? Either way, Thom clearly didn't know to whom he was speaking.

LSD is not found naturally. Morning glory seeds contain LSA.

Prohibition doesn't work. not only drugs, but prostitution gambling and gay marriage and other prohibitions should be legalized

they wont legalize all drugs because most people go to jail for drug possession and are forced to work in prison factories for 25 cents an hour. its called slave labor and is perfectly legal. google it.

not only legal... the shit should be really cheap!

If "drugs" as in the illegal ones in the US are all legalized, then police can spend more time arresting troubled civilians for crimes such as murder and theft. Drugs however are too valuable to your US government. It helps pays for all the robotic and experimental warfare they are fueling in the middle eastern countries.

Pharmaceutical companies make over 250,000,000 dollars a year of selling their prescription(drugs) why not go for the gusto and get in to cocaine and heroin business. People who want to do drugs, are going to do them regardless, why not make a buck off it like the assholes who sell percocet, vicoden and all those other opiate drugs, viagra and other that super duper fly shit.. Hey, I'm not telling you anything that you already don't know

[almostskater3210]

Isn't it LSA that you get from morning glory seeds?

[adambnewman]

Im a libertarian who finds most leftist to be pretty annoying on most issues. But I've always found Hartmann to be a thoughtful and mostly rational liberal. But JESUS he interrupts his guests a lot. The interview he did with Stephen More was crazy.

Funny how this video was cut so that the Ad at the beginning was included. I'll never get those particular seconds back. Now I'll listen to the rest. ...Okay. I heard some new perspectives and have really expanded my knowledge of this issue. Great video. Question: How do we get Congress to address issues like this when they're so occupied with whatever else they are prioritizing? War, Economy, "Jobs", etc. Maybe everyone wants legalization, but when will they get to the legal paperwork?
