		<description>The prohibitionist logic really makes me question the education system in place today. With the system spitting people like these idiots out, did I even get a decent education myself?!??

Here&#039;s a typical thought process for prohibitionist idiots:
1. Drugs are bad mmkay.. (this thought rules all)
2. Whoever sells these drugs are bad to mmkay.. (2nd in command)
3. If drugs are bad and people who sell drug is bad then.... um............... if we sell drugs we&#039;re bad to RIGHT!
4. MARAJUNA IS a drug so.... Drug= bad and bad= JAIL TIME FOR BAD
5. Keep bureaucratic government job
6. Rinse and repeat
------------------------------

Attempting to shove some reasonable logic in this rinsed and repeated cycle often results in 
a. them lying their way out of it(most popular)
b. being called a drug junkie(happens all the time)
c. playing stupid and denying everything (victory for you)

Eventually if we get enough c options, then we can convince people that we don&#039;t live a fairy tale world where everyone is sober 24/7 and drug cartels and violence is not a problem because of marijuana criminalization.</description>

		<description>I completely agree with &quot;Don E&quot;&#039;s comment that prohibitionist logic is quite humorous. I find it so funny, that I would like to see some stand up comedians trying to act like prohibitionists.

It&#039;s to bad though that they&#039;re so serious about these insane laws that people do actually go to jail and prison.. :(</description>

		<description>If we make marijuana legal then the IRS won&#039;t tax it and the Grow Companys will pay all their taxes to the MEXICAN TERRIORTS AND IT WILL BE 9/11 ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND REMEBER KIDS IF YOU SMOKE MARIJUANA THEN YOU GO TO HELL BECAUSE MARAJUNA IS A DEVIL&#039;S HERB
Alchol is ok though once you&#039;re 21.

_________
For anyone that didn&#039;t get it... of the above was sarcasm; as it is impossible for me to take anything a prohibitionist says seriusly.</description>

		<description>The video is no longer available. What is this about? Do they only leave these video&#039;s up for less than 24 hours regularly? Or is this due to pressure from pro-prohibitionists to remove anything from the public eye that is pro-legalization? This doesn&#039;t sit right with me, and i really wanted to see this video.</description>

		<description>Can no longer view. That didn&#039;t take long. From the responses I can tell that it was one filled with misinformation from opposition.</description>
