- t0xen, on 05/29/2008, -6/+177The "war on drugs" is just a part of the war against us all. It's about control.
- wanderlander, on 05/28/2008, -8/+101Just another bogus "war" created to siphon away money?
- chicoer2001, on 05/29/2008, -4/+91Imagine is we legalized drugs. Less violence from drug dealers, FARC would be out of business, the government would get more taxation from sales of drugs. Unless you're driving a car under the influence of drugs, I dont care if you take them.
- duggtodeath, on 05/29/2008, -6/+81Weed isn't addictive.
- syadasti, on 05/29/2008, -5/+71I like drugs. I hereby declare myself an enemy combatant! Guantánamo, here I come!!!
- paparia, on 05/29/2008, -5/+68what's wrong with smoking a joint on occasion? The clowns in Washington are doing drugs much harder than pot. Have you seen the state of the U.S. economy as of late. Bush and gang have got to be on drugs to drive the U.S. into this state.
I say they legalize pot and collect the taxes from it into the kitty. Leave these small time users alone as they aren't bothering anyone and its a waste of tax payers money! - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -10/+71America builds more prisons than schools
America builds more prisons than ANY OTHER COUNTRY per
America imprisons more of their citizens for victim less crimes than ANY OTHER COUNTRY per capita.
All while the corporate owned US nazi news networks strew together psychological buzzwords like, "freedom," "democracy," and other abstractions that are molded to serve autocratic/plutocratic ends.
Wilkommen to Amerika, Fools! - JATCA69, on 05/29/2008, -4/+55Is there any chance we could wage war on a corrupt tyrannical government?
- mmdieterich, on 05/29/2008, -3/+48It's stories like this which make me hope people against legalization realize the ***** that these laws cause. A whole family? some of you must realize it is ridiculous.
- Feralvision, on 05/29/2008, -2/+45This is really a war on un-taxable products. It seems funny to me that it is still legal for tobacco companies to sell packets of cancer to hundreds of millions of people, yet it's illegal for me to stay at home and light up a big fat reefer.
- angusm, on 05/29/2008, -2/+32I feel safer knowing that drug-enabling grandmothers are out on the streets where they belong. We can't be too tough on these vicious little old white-haired criminals.
- kemp34, on 05/29/2008, -0/+28Their use of the word "freedom" is what Orwell would call "Newspeak".
- orientis, on 05/29/2008, -3/+29Tell you what man, if the world's politicians were on acid they would all go mad with the realisation of the enormity of their actions. Thousands would kill themselves as they realised their moral culpability and chose to end it. Seriously, imagine Dick Cheney actually having total and full realisation of the effects of his actions on others, it'd be like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark where that guy drinks from the wrong grail.
- Fatcheeseguy, on 05/29/2008, -1/+26"Doesn't making nature against the law seem to you a bit...paranoid?" - Bill Hicks
- oxdeltaxo, on 05/29/2008, -0/+23Are you mentally retarded?
"Once the Gson found out he would be homelss if he did not stop breaking the law he might of quit and became a productive citizen."
If you even get caught ONCE you get kicked out. It's a ONE strike policy. RTFA. - badassninja, on 05/29/2008, -1/+23Land of the free my ass. If we don't even have the freedom to choose what we do with are own bodies then how in the world can we call this place the land of the free. Free? Free what? Air. All you can breath... for now.
- NikoKun, on 05/29/2008, -0/+21There is simply no justification for this War, at least when concerning Marijuana.
No justification at all... And to anyone that thinks there is... Who do we hurt, by smoking a joint in our own homes? Why does this action, deserve criminalization, and jail time?
It's a war against our own people, for profit and moralist control. And supported by nothing but misinformation, lies, racism, and propaganda. - pintomp3, on 05/29/2008, -3/+24thank god reagan spent money on the war on drugs instead of AIDS research.
- sodade, on 05/29/2008, -1/+20I have yet to hear one valid reason for cannabis prohibition. If your argument relies on a stereotype, you FAIL.
- Disgod, on 05/29/2008, -0/+19That's a bad argument, you can be psychologically addicted to anything
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+20This country's misguided drug policies make me sick.
The U.S., in it's attempt to legislate morallity and pour money into the machine has destroyed WAY more many lives than it has helped.
This place makes me ill.
And to you ***** 'patriots' who are about to tell me 'if I don't like it, why don't I just leave', save your ***** breathe. I am thinking about it. - possiblyneil, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18You sir are a dolt. These draconian "laws" do nothing but cause harm, more harm than drugs themselves.
- moulin1, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18Dugg cause I can't get that picture of Dick Cheney drinking from the grail out of my head. Or Rumsfeld opening the arc either.
- h0ser, on 05/29/2008, -2/+20yes, revolution. It's long overdue.
- lvlln, on 05/29/2008, -0/+16Sure it is. It's as addictive as TV, videogames, gambling, surfing the net, sports, etc.
- kemp34, on 05/29/2008, -0/+16@paparia: don't you get it, it's not wrong when they do it, only when one of the peasants like us does it.
America needs to find its lost liberty roots. - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -15/+29war on drugs is a war on the people...
Ron Paul is already my president - NikoKun, on 05/29/2008, -0/+13Our country's freedoms are based in revolution... Yet the government will still fight tooth and nail to prevent and crush revolutions and countercultures...
Just seems so... counterproductive... - aidave, on 05/29/2008, -0/+13It's the Drug Inquisition. Intended precisely to ruin certain peoples lives - those who are not wealthy and well-connected.
- MaynardJK, on 05/29/2008, -4/+16Whoever is digging you down is a ***** idiot.
I saw the "recovery" line in the article and laughed. - BlacklabelSAR, on 05/29/2008, -0/+11You are looking for logic from people who think the earth is 6,000 years old.
- MCBAIKO, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10Mine too! Read "The Revolution" people! It's time we stop the madness and control! Ron Paul 2008!
- pintomp3, on 05/29/2008, -2/+12drug addiction, just like alcohol addiction, should be treated as a medical issue, not a criminal one.
- Coven, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10Thats the end of Last Crusade, not Raiders...fyi
- drastik21, on 05/29/2008, -1/+11It's funny how you don't know that these "productive citizen" that are our lawyers and doctors probably smoke a joint once in a while. I've witnessed it myself with a couple lawyers I've met in my town.
- Zong, on 05/29/2008, -1/+10Thing in this country do seem to have degraded a lot epically when it comes to civil liberties and Nazi Germany is the best example for a totalitarian state... and their are a couple of parallels between the US now and Germany then... the melodrama is probably because were tried of giving up are civil liberties.
Although their is a difference between owning a private home and living off the government the point is that a person or entire family is punished for act of someone they have no control over. 1 Strike and your homeless hardly seems fair for those who have nothing to do with drugs....
Personally I think a housing program should encourage people to find away to own or live without the need of the government , instead of encouraging them to make less so they can live off the taxpayer - shwerm601, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9i agree, our government has taken us from a great world power to behind slightly behind the technological curve in some areas and our school systems have been crippled... its ashame that I am a college senior and always searching for jobs outside of the country and considering financial aspects of leaving the country, just in case...
:-( - gurudrew, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9That's what some claim, but it's no more un-taxable than tobacco, alcohol or tomatoes. Just because someone can make it or grow it themselves does not mean that they will. Convenience is the reason behind the commercial production of most things.
- oxdeltaxo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+10Not to mention stephen harper trying to bring mandatory minimums to canada. Slowly American political stupidity is seeping into our country.
- pintomp3, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9aren't you are glad we privatize things like prisons and war? so what if we create a prison industrial complex and a military industrial complex? as long as there is money to be made, capitalism wins!
- minorthreat, on 05/29/2008, -1/+10come on guys, we email bomb principals, big corporations and everyone else for doing the wrong and ***** thing. How about we do the same for some of this ridiculous ***** our government does. The question is, who do we write????
- Loco801, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9Anything can be "addicting" but not in the way that they use it in this story. They make weed sound like cigarettes as if it had some kind of chemical in it that makes your brain crave it like nicotine. Most smokers do it for fun, recreational purposes only getting caught is a big price. I know from experience.
- aidave, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9You sure about that? Canada's ruling morons are about to pass laws importing America's Drug Inquisition.
- XxModestMousexX, on 05/29/2008, -5/+13Not physically but you can become psychologically addicted.
- dizilbdog, on 05/29/2008, -2/+10Can someone Please find evidence of person dyeing from Marijuana?? Anyone one person who has died from Marijuana come one must be one person? How many for Alcohol, Tobacco, Pharmaceutical?? Oh and this whole Marijuana is a Gateway drug. I would say most people start with Alcohol it's the first thing they find in their parents house or cigarettes or find it in another person's house, but now it's prescription drugs that are a gateway drug.
- aidave, on 05/29/2008, -0/+8Oh my god, you smelled your neighbor smoking pot! Call the police!!! Rat him out! Arrest!!! Jail!
*points at pot smoker like invasion of the body snatchers* - highlymodified, on 05/29/2008, -2/+10You can judge how totalitarian a government is based solely on its drug policies.
- WatchDragon, on 05/29/2008, -2/+10I don't see anything wrong with pot, some people actually seems to function better when they smoke.
