The Pharmacy lobby groups bribe politicians. The politicians then use OUR tax dollars to bribe police departments to bust Marijuana more because they put OUR tax dollars as bonuses to these cash strapped police departments. We the People then get no police work on real crimes like home invasion, rape, assault because there is no corporate profit in giving bonuses to the police to just do the job they are suppossed too.
Lol great observation
2:51 did this guy just pack a non grinded nug into a pipe to smoke?? noob!
Great segment, wow! Both sides are relatively soft-spoken and to the point. Very informative. No filler and no bickering — just how I like it!
The failed prohibition of marijuana causes FAR more damage than marijuana itself.
The current unjust, immoral, UNCONSTITUTIONAL marijuana laws are ruining the lives of otherwise law abiding Americans. LEGALIZE.
REGULATION AND TAXATION IS THE ANSWER! ACT NOW!
I do not medicate in my basement. I do it on the 2nd floor and on YouTube for all to see. I am not ashamed.
That is the only segment on fox, that I have ever seen, that was not flat out biased against/for something. Judge (whomever he is) seems to be moderately (pun intended) fair.
Not right as in conservative though =)
fox has him?
he seems like he makes so much sense.
im soo confused…
I agree on all your points of discussion, not if we can only get the Congress to listen to us and agree with it, as they say, we only need to convince 50% of Congress and 1 person to say it’s over and it will be over.
I forgot to mention below, the indirect costs to society in the waste of not only Prevention, Law Enforcement, the Judicial System, Prison Industrial Complex, Probation, etc, but all of the other services that may or may not be directly calculated such as Welfare programs for those left behind while former bread winners endure the above. These include but are not limited to Housing, Food and Health care assistance, as well as, but not limited to, Child Service protections.
More $ Waste.
Marijuana legalization is neither a Republican nor Democratic issue. It is an issue of freedom and finance for ALL Americans.
If you are a parent, you should consider legalization so that your precious progeny might have the success of avoiding it in their formative years, such as is evident in success of regulation of Alcohol and Cigarettes.
As a fiscal Conservative, you should be appalled by the waste of $1T dollars in the last 30 years of prohibition, and that’s just a calculation of direct expenses. The budget in the United States for the War on Drugs grows by leaps and bounds every year, leading to the problem of public lands (which BTW have their budgets cut every year allowing for less patrols, maintenance and use by the public – further exacerbating the problem) being used for illegal grows.
If you are for
Public Safety, you should want less people arrested and given the gift of a permanent criminal record, so that those people might continue to pursue careers. The alternative being a degree from Crime University where cellmates share their extensive knowledge of criminal techniques with those who are likely to become part of the 77% recidivism rate BOASTED by “correctional” facilities. (BTW, any organization that boasts a 77% recidivism rate, should NEVER be called a “correctional” facility)
if you are an environmentalist, or someone who cares about the safety of yourself or your loved ones, you should be outraged by underground operations that use harsh and/or illegal chemicals in the manufacture of drugs such as Cannabis/Marijuana, Methamphetamine, and the dilution of such drugs as Cocaine.
Legalization, Regulation and Taxation is the key to a society where EVERYONE benefits, not just those that seek out mind altering substances.
I’m noticing a lot of hostile comments towards fox here. You should all give it a try. Yes many anchors are full of shit, but thats the same on any network. And Fox’s anchors actually bring on people who disagree with them. Try finding some real debate on msnbc.
im personaly disgusted with the world we live in.they, telling us wat 2 do ,wat 2 put in our body ..n so on. we are supposed 2 free?!fuckin` joke this is
