Ending drug prohibition and focusing on addiction as a sickness, like alcohol and prescription drugs, could save the US economy and millions of lives. Please pass this video on to as many people as you can. We need your help to end the Drug War. www.americandrugwar.com http www.sacredcowstore.com Produced by Kevin Booth and Ryan Kaye
Wake up people!! The ONLY reason for obama to bring up his “college drug years” is to win your vote. simple manipulation. Take a look at the work he´s done since he became president, and you would realise that obama might just be worse than Bush. On the otherhand he seems to be much better at feeding the amerikans with propaganda. Cannabis have NEVER EVER killed someone, millions die from booze every year. Wake up and see the amerikan prison machine for what it is. also : Fuck henry kissinger
recent studdies show that 50% of us suffer from some sort of “mental illness” Therefore, its not an illnes its perfecly normal. The psycology system with anti-depressives is a joke!! Good comment! im not arguing with that statement
just wanted to spread some truth..
Well, yeah, maybe. But hasn’t he ended The Drug War? Even if he doesn’t do anything more than that, like legalizing marijuana, it is a good start. Progress towards legalization haven’t gone this far in a small timespan, ever. Do you think McCain would have done anything? Not a chance in hell. People are starting to wake up when it comes to how bad our drug laws really are, lets just hope they don’t forget that.
Your retarded.
No he hasnt ended it!?? :S rather the opposit, right now he is pushing and helping the Marockan goverment to take more actions against cannabis growers, he´s pushing the EU to start a European “FBI” It would actually be easyer to legalize, Obama doesnt. No i dont think McCain would be better, im glad he didnt win.. but your demo(crazy) in the US is a joke. (Im Not saying our swedish is any better.) Bu Obama is a puppet
Ahh. I have a weak memory of him signing on ending the drug war… Maybe I’ve dreamed it ;P Oh, well… If what you are saying is true, than all I got to say is SHIT!
Well at least there are no more raid on medical marijuana clinics. SO (santacrus). you can’t compare Obama with Bush.
The prohibition of Cannabis is a crime against humanity.
sure sounds right …but what if we create roads that make electrical power …we can free ourselves from the governments
new set lies ….climate change
Why cant i do that? Bush was a horrible president and Obama havent shown any signs of following up on his promices of change. The facts tell the oposit. More privitized armies, Guantanamo is still open? The Irak occupation goes on, the war on drugs rages like never before overseas and he wants to monitor the whole web with the Czar. The loans to the banks are astronomikal but only to push the dollar further down so that the change to amero will be easyer too complete. Obama is the same as Bush!
Well of course it can’t all happen overnight.
Come back when you can spell… thanks.
How long has he been in office???? and no it probably cant, but over a week or month would be possible!! Sorry for my spelling, im not from your burger-eating contry so im not very good att the jank-talk. But you seem to get my point anyway? so why be rude without any counter argument? It seems to me like your the guy who blindly believes every word the media feeds you… to bad.
REAGAN/BUSH SR.
WAR ON DRUGS, yeah right
FREE LABOR & OBSOLETENESS
Give it to your probation officers people!
if illegal drugs were made legal then the FARC the Russian Mafia and all these other Drug Cartels would have very little source of revenue as that money would go to the private sector of the economies around the world the taxes from these substances to the governments and the substances would be much safer and purer. It would in fact make the cartels less powerful where are you coming from on this??
yeah the Psychology market is a joke it seems it is run by the drug companies haha… make someone think they have a problem and then provide them with a pill that claims to fix it.
CNN news today, I see that Obama continues to pump billions of dollars into the failed drug war, that he said during his campaign was a waste of American tax payer money because the drug war was not working. Now he’s got a 50 million dollar reward on Mexican drug czars heads. Yes… that’s the answer Obama, lets keep pumping that money into the ongoing failed drug war that you promised to end if you were elected President. You fooled everyone again, your a lire and hypocrite. Legalize Cannabis.
IT TOOK BUSH 8 YEARS TO DAMAGE THE COUNTRY! OBAMA IS TRYING HE ISNT GOING TO BEABLE TO CHANGE THE DAMAGE IN 1 YEAR MAYBE NOT EVEN 4 YEARS. WHY ARE WE AT WAR?BUSH! not obama..! obama is trying new things..so go and read a book or buy some knowledge!

If you think about the tabacco and alcohol industry (both legal drugs) where does the money go? 75% is tax, and goes to the state, the other 25% goes to the licensed companies that grow, manufacture or distribute said items.
If america legalized an illegal drug, shops wouldn’t buy it off criminals, they would but it from licensed plantations or laboratories. If people were buying said drug legally from a store, It would put drug dealers out of business. Am i right?
obama is doing a sht job…..
this video brings up many good points. there would probably be less drug use if the drugs were legal. and some people can experience life changing trips from the drugs that chart said were the most dangerous like lsd and mushrooms, and they see the world differently for the better.
legalizing drugs is the best move at this time. The Netherlands decriminalized drugs in 1976 and they have lower rates of drug addiction, homicide, and drug related deaths ; plus the money that would be made off of drugs would help boost the economy dramatically.Furthermore drug dealers, drug cartels, rouge army’s, and country’s whose economic basis depend on drugs would no longer have the funding to continue operating. The drug war is something that cannot be won. legalize drugs!!
Great video. I have seen first hand how the drug war destroys families. Prisons are businesses, sucking more money out of the government for every prisoner they take in. And the government will suck that money out of us one way or another — hard-earned money that is forcibly taken from us to support people who are being forcibly prevented from earning money themselves. When their families end up on welfare, we pay for that too.
we need to promote these videos and get as many people to watch and listen to the real message, not that we want drugs being legal so we can all take as much as we want, but to actually help people who are addicted and stopping the evil drug war machines
thats fucked up… obama makes me feel much better… he seems more responsible
