I heard someone say once, when Ron Paul stated that the war on drugs was a complete failure, that we ARE winning the war on drugs, and that since the 80's, drug use among teens has declined. But I argue against that, because teen marijuana use has been rising this past couple years, while tobacco use is declining. The legal substance use is declining and illegal substance use is increasing... does that sound like we're winning the war on drugs to you?

i guess that ass hole really didnt ''remember the last supper '' cause no where in the bible is there any direct saying that jesus drank the wine in fact on the painting of the last supper ther wasnt even a glass of wine on the table... so maybe they did hit the doobie haha

legalize cannabis once for all

[fuckinghellyoutwat]

we have both in britain, because the taxes levied against them are so high, something like 200% percent tax on tobacco, and the beer purity laws are worst than in the rest of europe, but because they have e.u tax payed on them on purchase, its not really bootlegging because its only illegal if you sell them, then again people do sell them on cause people will obviously want to pay 4 pounds for 50 grams rather than 12 pounds for 50 grams.

Furce is making false arguments. We have legal tobacco and alcohol and I have never seen any bootleg of either.

[fuckinghellyoutwat]

the issues the first speaker described are real issues but i feel that they are ones we should start to address, because the way we've been dealing with it for 40 years clearly hasn't worked out.

Are you talking about the "jesus drank wine" comment?

That pissed me off! The dean becker goes on about how christians are forcing their morals on others..

And that asshole shoots back "the only thing i can say is I'm a christian i remember the last supper and jesus was drinking wine and not doing a dubby"

Does he realize how stupid he sounds? He sounds dumber then the average stoner!

The FDA sounds like a agency soley put in place to violate human rights.. the right to decide what goes in your own body..

About the treaty.. didn't the united states force that treaty on them?

why not legalize ALL drugs?

cause there will ALWAYS be a demand for drugs out there, so its useless to legalize one drug and not the rest.

so I say legalize all drugs because they CAN be dangerous, just look at the tobacco companies, imagine if all drugs wer legal, it may help get America out of debt if anything.
