Legalize drugs huh? HA! Yeah right! Dream on! Would the Government ever allow that? Fuck no!! Are you kidding me? They would never pass up the chance to get all the money they get from keeping drugs IL-legal!

It's win-win for government with drugs either way. If drugs are illegal, the huge black market money eventually finds its' way into the economy, and the law enforcement funding and imprisonment costs can be rationalized. If drugs were legalized and taxed, the revenues would allow the government owned media to portray drug use as a "lifestyle" (like they did with alcohol)...more usage, more taxes.....that's my only problem with legalization..it only empowers government more.

the only problem i see is his extreme dislike for all 'drugs' while having no first-hand experience besides ten joints. we then realize he chain smokes, drinks caffeine, cognac, and wine. a small amount of either hypocrisy, self-denial or a strangely status quo way of looking at it.
