the prison system is pretty fucked up right now, I don't know what it's going to take for someone to really look at that.

This thread brought to you by the same guy who brought you:

Electoral College

and

Medical Malpractice

Funny that this guy's creating more intelligent discussion than anyone else. Does anyone think the War on Drugs is a smart thing?

Legal drugs=more druggies than ever.
You can educate people all you like, the idea of free smack is too much to pass up.

that'll help.

I really have to take a look at his stuff, from what I've read (not much) he really seems to do his research.

I don't know whether he just times his stuff for release when the issue is becoming prevalent, but he seems to pick subjects that really catch peoples attention. Fast Food nation seemed really poular for what it was.

legealizing would destory thousands of jobs that depend on it from the DEA, to the lonley grower.. dont legealize drugs...

lol, silly child. Do you really think that the only thing holding the world back from lighting up a big fatty is the law?

lollers

If you get caught with pot where I live, they don't even confiscate it half the time, let alone get you in trouble. aslong as you don't sell the police just don't give a shit (if it looks like you're selling you are fucked).

I think that rehabilitation rather than punishment should be what our justice system focuses on (and not just with drugs).
