    DEAR ANYONE AGAINST DRUG LEGALIZATION

    Look to Portugal, who in 2001 legalized ALL drugs. Yes, anything. Meth, Heroin, Crack, all legal, with no penalty for use or possession. Do you think this leads to high drug usage? Take a look at the stats- They spend far less money, incarcerate far fewer people, have less overdoses and have less drug related health problems.

    This is a real example, its been around for over 10 years now and there are no signs of a policy change, it works, plain and simple

    Very true, and I agree with the methodology. But there is a grave risk of glorifying drug use once people break the paradigm and realize that Marijuana is harmless. We do not want to promote recreational use, only Medicinal. "Everything, in Moderation!" - Ben Franklin

    "The war on drugs is a war on people of color." I didn't listen any further. I had to stop it there. First, I'm BLACK, second, I grew up poor in what people who try to sound cool call the "hood," third, I've NEVER used, sold, or had anything to DO with drugs IN MY LIFE. Don't give me this "people of color" business. Live with your choices.

    Portugal adopted a harm reduction policy. The statistics would seem to show that instead of arresting non-violent drug offenders, if they are provided with access to treatment and other harm reduction measures (like needle exchanges) that things start to get better. The latter is not just in terms of the user, but the cost of the user on society.

    Hence the title under his name: "Medical Marijuana Advocate"

    Incorrect. Portugal DECRIMINALIZED drugs. This is not mere semantics; "legalized" and "decriminalized" have different legal ramifications.

    Fuck DPA! Fuck George Soros and all who support him. Playing both sides of the fence does not make you a revolutionary.

    Anyone that feels compelled to waste/burn up their little brains...please take your weak ass and MOVE to those countries you love so much. AND>>>>should EXECUTE all ~found guilty~ drug pushers. Fuckin pieces of SHIT. Addicts remind me of experimental mice. Meth manufacturers/pushers are akin to MURDERERS. They'd sell to a child (and do) to make a buck and feed their habit. SICK.

    Move to Portugal.
