Bogosity Ep. 4: The War on Drugs REMASTERED Pt. 2

This isn't a subject that skeptics usually tackle, but maybe that should change. The War on Drugs, and the claims made in its support, is every bit as bogus as creationism and the moon landing hoax.

Part 2 of 3.

also i don't think you're right when you say that the black market doesn't have the incentives to make their products safer. drug dealers don't have the incentive to kill their clients, especially if the market size stays constant at 1.3% as you claimed.

@tetleydidley That's not their market size; that's just the addicts, but there are a lot more drug users than that. Not all drug users are addicts, you know.

[tetleydidley]

you really should cite your sources...

@tetleydidley They're listed in the credits at the end.

I have no problem with the banning of donuts. How else will I make my blackmarket fortune?

[ralfjacobs]

i have smoked weed and didnt like it.

i bought it in a shop next to a clothing store :P

yeah you might have guessed it i live in the netherlands.

if people give you the choice of drugs than you wont get the "oh im doing a bad thing" kick out of it, and it gives you a honost opinion about the drugs. after that you can decide yourself if you want to keep using it or not.

if i was american i would support the legalisation of these so called softdrugs.

tabacco and alcohol kill more people

@DahStranger Then im sure you'd get a different statistic. With drugs that release dopamine like cocaine and (meth)amphetamine, you'd get a much higher percentage of addicts. But with traditional psychedelics you'd get around the same statistic I'd think.

@RaustBD Harry Anslinger, I guess... Although he was more like the father of doom to be honest..

[theanvilcracks]

Maybe we should ban donouts, and then just sit back and watch the cops get fired for buying black market donuts in the alleyway...

[RaustBD]

I wonder... is there anyone who can be considered the "al capone" of the war on drugs?
