  • to think that ourselves we cant control something is to see ourselves as incompetent to not be incompetent we have to strictly define our moral system learn to judge accordingly and be stern on those that clearly have improper judgement hence selling meth to first graders if the legal system would eradicate such morons and then not spend our precious tax money on feeding them it would probably be a better safer world

  • Wonderful to see such discourse in support of eternal damnation for any who would sell meth to 1st graders. Even more wonderful is the fact that it does not happen. Any such situation would be infinitely less likely to occur in a taxed, regulated and actually controlled marketplace.

    GaCracker and Apox, do you think adults need such protections as well or should we decide for ourselves via discussions with our doctors what we shall put into our own bodies?

  • Dean, Ron Paul is your man.

  • Thanks TarotFate,

    It is my hope to make the other candidates say something, anything about the drug war. It is an issue whose time has come.

    Thanks for your post, Dean Becker

  • When I was in 3rd or 4th grade, I asked my teacher, "Why do we have to study history?" She replied, "So we don't make the same mistakes." If that is true, why do we keep using prohibition? Alcohol prohibition was nowhere near the first. At one time coffee was banned in Russia and you could be beheaded for using it. But just like all the other prohibitions, it failed. Drug prohibition, marijuana prohibition, it's all the same - it will never work and history teaches us that.

  • I just wanted to point out that the comments on here are all well-written, properly punctuated, and respectful (except for those few prohibitionists). In my experience, marijuana-users are some of the more intelligent and community-minded individuals out there. Except for those I knew in high school. Which is why children should NOT smoke (anything). In a legal market, it would be no more available than cigarettes to minors. Keep on keeping on everyone! Thanks Dean!

  • I love when you talk to a person about drugs and they say after all proof, facts and you talking to them, "well, it must be bad cause it's illegal right?" .....

    If a society is intelligent, with people who are capable of free-thinking and making informed decisions, that society is powerful.

    The people WILL ACT if they need to.

    The Government are making us "dumb", slowly brainwashing us with FEAR and LIES day-by-day, while they sneak around waging Wars in Iraq in the name of Freedom.

    Prohibition is a SUCCESS for Government and a failure for the people.

  • drug use is not acceptable, and should NOT be legal. that is a JOKE!

  • All I have to say is those hard headed bastards can't live forever! Lies will die! Long live the truth

  • LEAP, you almost restore my faith in law enforcement.

    Its almost strange to go to a foreign nation were the police aren't merely agents of fear.

    There is something very wrong when law biding citizens (such as myself) are more afraid of the police than criminals.

  • the government is insane.

    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

  • "rule3. dont smoke weed all the time tht shit sends you crazy"

    I dare you to prove that.

  • We the people of USA should be able to choose the safer alternative rather then alcohol if you are over 21 years of age! the voters need to vote for this. And it would end drug deals in dark alleys and alot of US citizens wouldnt turn to crack or other bullshit. And thats the bottom line!

  • the lesson is go out and enjoy urself there may only be 1 life so get the most out of it advice 4 u try it 1 time try tht 1 spliff try tht 1 pill and tel me it doesnt feel beter then alcohol

    rule1. dont depend on drugs

    rule2. if u take pills or mdma take your time dont do loads all the time savor it

    rule3. dont smoke weed all the time tht shit sends you crazy
