There is no war on drugs, it is just a war on the Bill Of Rights. I say the same thing about the "War On Poverty" too.

VERY well said edbert.
It is all part of the same old government style of war on freedom that they all love so much...
Not so bad yet tho... really gets ugly when they start the executions.

Thanks for the clip.
Won't change any minds though, logic only works on reasonable people.
That, and too many people have gotten rich on drug redistrubution (war on drugs) and criminalizing americans.
They've got a sweet racket going, they're not going to let voters interfere.

Now this one needs a bump.
I broke out laughing when the doctor introduced himself... "Harvard Medical School" :rofl
That Bob Wiener guy was worse then Napolean Dynamite in Highschool, guaranteed. :D

Bill Hicks still wins the prize for best WOD comedy bit in my book.

Yeah that **** was funny.
"I've been doing this blah blah years and I've never met a good doctor..."
"really? It only took us two hours."
Mr Wiener's chaos and doom prediction was funny also.

interesting... Penn and Teller have never done drugs and probly never will.... I was an addict and will never do drugs again and..
We all agree..
The war on drugs is worse than the drugs themselves.

After my 3rd chemo treatment and it was obvious that the strongest anti nausia meds available werent working (puking in his treatment room wastebasket during treatments makes it pretty obvious) my doc said.
"Im not supposed to be telling you this and I cant get it for you but if you can get it you might give pot a try. There is some medical research that indicates it can help with the nausia and vomiting and for some reason smoking it is more effective then in pill form"
It helped
Another point of ridiculousness. In confirming what my doc said by asking another oncologist (took me exactly 20 minutes. Pen & Teller must live 2 hours away from a doctor, or perhsp they were asking the wrong type of doctor)
anyway. thiafter confirming what my doc had said. he went opn to complain that he had a patient suffering from terminal bone cancer and that had he had his choice he would perscribe Heroin for pain because it works better and he would at least be coherant enough in his last days to be able to interact with his family.
But he cant. Because "heroin is illegal to perscribe and the patient might become addicted":huh

:lol

Actually if you watch the video there is a succesfull career stockbroker who has been supplied with US government marijuana for over ten years.
He was smoking a joint legally right in front of the US capital building. Kinda neat.
Of course the government ended that program because everybody knows stockbrokers are supposed to be drunks that get divorced a lot and jump out of windows.

:lol I did watch it...thats what I was making fun of.
I found that part funny...as I did other parts, that just stuck in my mind.

If you liked P & T, you need to check out the movie "Grass" narrated by Woody Harrellson. Over the last 100 years we've wasted BILLIONS fighting marijuana. Most of it is the fault of one man.

which man mr. cliffhanger?
:confused:
-
I don't remember. I've smoked pot since I saw the movie.
-
Ok. But did you inhale?

Deeply and often. :cool:
The guy's name was Harry J. Anslinger. (Google is my friend)

'When some beet field peon takes a few rares of this stuff,' explained Dr. Fred Fulsher of Mineral County, 'he thinks he has just been elected president of Mexico so he starts to execute all his political enemies...' Everybody laughed and the bill was recommended for passage." (1)

Thank You Sandman.
I was unaware of this show, very entertaining. I am presently watching all of them so I can get on with life. I thought I was the only person to realize that 90% (or more) of everything is bull-.
The war on drugs thing is a gimme. Everyone with 9/10ths of brain already knows that. A lot of the shows are fluff. What impresses me is that they dare take on subjects like religion and the Bible. These guys will eventually piss off just about everybody because just about everybody is personally invested in some form of bull-. Gotta love it.
What would be interesting is to find out what you guys think they’ve got wrong.

It looks like they don't cover what wouldn't fit in the half-hour format.

That's the one on the Bible. The last five minutes or so have some pretty case-closing comments, IMO.
I'd like to hear what others think.

I've seen every episode so far.
I haven't seen them get anything wrong yet.

Oh... don't get me wrong... I think drugs are evil.
I think that I don't want anyone around me using em. I would never trust a pothead to be around me in any dangerous situation.... I would not work with him in construction say or around machinery... I would give one under the influence a DUI if he drove.
I see nothing wrong with a company full of cubicle dwellers who's biggest fear is a paper cut hiring em. or junkies for that matter... if they get enough out of em to make money.. that is their business.
There are a certain percentage of the people out there who are born to be addicts and.... the rest who aren't.
The true addicts will never be worth a damn but... if the drugs are legal and cheap then these guys won't be fueling the gangs and stealing your stereo while doing $2000 worth of damage to your car.
They will still exist in the same numbers and be just as worthless.. they just won't be fueling billions of dollars a year in crime and making this more and more into a police state every day.

Of course, if you do work construction, or around machinery (or in a cushy office, even), the kicker is, you probably do work right next to some. Here's to hoping the particular ones you're next to have the common sense to wait until after work to light up :)

True, but they also wont be fueling the billions of dollars needed by the alphabet-soup-beaurocracies, or fueling the fear needed for politicians to get elected either. You have to take the bad with the good...LOL.

Again completely agreed.
There is a difference however with someone who smokes weed and drinks vs. someone who does heroin. If you drink on the job, its a recipe for disaster, same with weed smokers, but if they do it on their own time there's no difference than someone who likes to get drunk everyonce in a while on a friday night.
Use is not abuse. Abuse is something different.

vudak... I worked construction in the 70's and 80's when guys were shooting up on the job and there were no drug tests at all. The vast majority of the people I worked around were loaded on something including myself...
Nowdays... with drug testing.... my chance of being in a ditch with a pothead running the backhoe above me is limitied (well... very unlikely because of my position too but... my men are unlikely to be in that position).
I have no problem with employers asking for drug testing and firing people with drugs in their system... I also have no problem with employers allowing drugs in the workplace so long as the policies are clear to every employee.
We have what? 50,000 fbi and batf and another 10,000 or so dea agents running around because of banned stuff like drugs and guns? What do they accomplish?
Seems that we should see huge busts every day but... once a year or so... the batf will get on the news or front page all posing in their ninja outfits in front of a raided "compound" of some middleaged gun collector and the pic will show a display of a half dozen $100 relic surplus rifles that are upwards to 100 years old...
Or... worse yet... they will get in the news from killing some poor schmuck in a raid.
