  • i hope i have the pleasure to meet this man someday

  • That was amazing! He always does a great job!

  • @NoTeenViolence Yeah because more black people use marijuana than white people but black people tend to steer away from heavier hardcore drugs. So that just goes to show you that the prisons are more than likely overcrowded with marijuana users and distributors. Which is ridiculous!

  • This guy is incredible and he's right, this policy can not stand.

  • @iMisanthrope I seriously didn't know lol. I'll check that movie out.

    Don't ya think this guy sounds like Kermit the Frog?

  • @NaeJoy You're kidding right? The 1930's? Al Capone? Chicago? Elliot Ness? Prohibition? That doesn't ring any bells? Even if the public education system failed you, Hollywood has made many movies and TV shows on the subject. Try Kevin Costner's "The Untouchables."

  • @ajm48786 Uhm... when exactly was alcohol illegal?

  • Because theyre fightin dangurusss drugz,ha!That would be the day! They're doing it to try to fight the illicit trade; it does fund the Taliban & other dangerous folk; but don't forget: it funds dangerous people BECAUSE it is illegal.

    Anyone who agrees with the irrational stance certain drugs should be illegal are on the same side as violent drug cartels or dealers. These criminals LOVE prohibition! Without it, they can't make $.It made the mob; they cried when Alcohol was made legal.

  • Drug Free is Evidence Free. The drug free movement is anti-science, pro-biblical, homophobic, anti-choice, pro 'faith healing', covert, dishonest and malignant. From fatal malpractice to scientific fraud [cannabis causes chromosome damage, methadone takes 46 years off your life, condoms cause AIDS and clean needles create IV populations] they've kicked Australian progressive drug policy to death. Eg pot 'addicts', 'lethal skunk', lost generations. Human Rights must come before Religious Rites.
