i tried to watch that, but it seemed to ramble on.
maybe it was just the narrator's voice that bugged me.
either way, i couldn't finish it.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I may end up down south pretty soon as the Navy has just stood up 4th fleet (Southern Command) and is about to step up it's drug interdiction
operations in the Caribbean. More boardings and the chance to stop the flow of poison into our country, count me in! Fuck Drugs

There are seriously way bigger problems then drugs. Its all about money, weather its lining the criminals pockets or the establishments (criminals in
their own right). You can be damn sure once my service time is over I'll be promoting the cause of marijuana legalization and reform of drug laws in
this country.
Excellent read on the errors of Americas drug policy

Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs 32,000
I'm guessing that number should be much higher. With the number of people on behaviour modifying drugs, what qualifies as an adverse reaction? I'm
thinking a large percentage of those suicides and homicides could qualify as "adverse" reactions.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Yup, poison. Your stats mean nothing to me bro. I have seen countless times first hand the effect drugs can have on an individual and their loved
ones. If I can stop any of it from getting in, I will happily do so. Just the way I think, oh and if you smoke butts, your just a fucking moron.
Everyone knows that, even smokers.

We'll see who the morons are when the aliens gas the atmosphere.

i have also seen, first hand, my uncle die from a prescription medication assigned to him by a doctor and purchased from WalMart.
i say if drugs are really such a huge problem get rid of them all, including the ones advertised on TV, day and night, not just the ones that are
cool to be against.

The biggest drug war advocates mean nothing to me either, I don't share their greedy twisted motives. I have my own.
I am sorry to hear about your uncle, that is a tragedy in itself and I couldn't agree more about the "legal" drugs constantly advertised. It still
does nothing to change my personal opinion on illicit drugs.

Here's the whole enchilada. Drugs are drugs. No matter if they're legal or not. If the government can deal them, why can't we? I have no problem with
recreational use unless you're hindering another's liberty. We can go through all the horror stories, but the fact is that the government is the one
funnelling them into our country. It's good to be aware of what is happening but once you speak up and call this government on their shit, you'll end
up like Gary Webb.
