We have to end the war on drugs – that’s right, but what comes after? Do we have real alternatives of prohibition? We asked leading drug policy reformers about their concepts and ideas about legal regulation at the International Drug Policy Reform Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

triple & quadruple support for legalization .. take the law out of the hands of manic gun toting goons = cops.
This video highlights perfectly what will change after prohibition, in terms of regulation. But if you want to know what will happen in terms of road accidents, usage rates, and harm to non-users, all that is needed is to look at what is happening all around us right now.
People are willing to give too many concessions to get it legal. It should be legal period, without a ton of regulations. If I wanted to grow my own I should be allowed to without restriction.
I personally believe if it is a plant, is easy to regulate and consume then man made products. But all at the same time, I can fully agree with these educated and realistic peoples approaches. They are both addressing the limitations, the society effects and the economic impacts. That is far more then our own government has done, they have acted only to protect their interests. Which hasn’t changed even to the modern day.
@Kboman almost anything we consume, if we consume enough can kill us. You can die from drinkin too much coffe, or even water. It’s not up to the government to decide what adults can put into their own bodies. It’s the right of the individual to choose what they wanna do to themselves, no matter how harmful it may be.
“If people let government decide what food they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as those who live under tyranny.”
Thomas Jefferson
@hiltithedrill Well, I actually can’t argue with that. To all who does use drugs: Burn in your self produced hell you motherfuckers.
@Kboman eat 20 aspirin pills and you may be dead – prohibit it? surely not, it’s up to the individual what it wants to consume, the state better leave its hands off such personal matters and provide honest education only.

How the fuck can you say that it is okay too use heroin. no matter what fucking way you do it, it is still fucked up! A drug with such a high mortality rate cannot be allowed or legal in any way! I can see the point with cannabis, it’s not lethal. Drugs like Extacy and Meth are among the things that are wrong with humans. DO NOT CONSUME STUFF THAT WILL KILL YOU! the same goes with cigarettes. It’s STUPID!
cannabis = OK
Heroin = WTF?! FUCKING PSYCHOS!
Fucking liberals….
fuckin idiots say no to coke,heroin! That shit is nasty and will kill people dumb fucks. Say yes to marijuana!
It’s not “statistics” that is important in modelling the world (although statistics ARE very important for filling in one’s model afterwards). Determining cause and effect is an abstract process of creating a model with arbitrarily defined definitions. The more you make those definitions (of who causes what) logically consistent, the better.
Hence, experience & observation do not determine cause and effect. C&E is a defined concept.
Question: why should I treat other organisms as worthy of equal opinion just because they are the same species as me? I rank most pigs and cows much higher than most humans.
You are so wedded to your assumptions, such as from which categories I “ought” t include a “majority” – such as “all humans living now”, or “all humans living in America” – that you are not even mentally capable of seeing that you make these assumptions.
I agree. But please don’t underestimate other people without high knowledge of mathematics. You say “impossible”, and that’s really provoking, and it’s wrong. You who know mathematics should know that you should have statistics to back up a claim like that.
Anyway, it’s a lot of different variables to consider in your example. E.g: How can you measure the negative experience? This is rather a question of how you personally measure value in people vs. animals, and the results of the penalty.
The thing that is infinitely impossible for those without proper mathematical training to grasp, because it is too abstract for them, is that “extreme” should NEVER be based upon “what some majority vs minority of people think” about a decision, but about the relative +/- of those decisions.
e.g. Putting people in prison for eating meat is not extreme, because the negative to them of doing so is smaller in magnitude to the negative to animals who are killed for food.
I’m sorry that I can’t flex my PhD muscles yet, but I respect your education, and if you say it matters in this case, it probably does.
I highly disagree with you when you allege that “people like me” makes the debate about “the proper way to express oneself”.
You see, I say that however you voice your opinion is good, so what you do is good, eventhough I think you are taking it to the extreme. Though, our basic principles are the same, we want legalization. That’s why we debate other things.
First of all – I have to say – unless you have a PhD in math and can do game theory like I do – I know for a fact that EVERY single person who says that:
telling people to speak out in forums, etc -is an absolute LIAR, because they NEVER mean it, because WITHOUT A SINGLE EXCEPTION whenever people DO voice their opinion, as I do, to people like YOU, it will NEVER be the “proper way”. You WILL bullshit and bullshit over the “proper way” to express oneself, because that is all you CAN do.
I disagree, but my angry side agrees
I’m sure this case can be solved through people voicing their opinion to the world.
I especially encourage people who supports legalization to share their point of view as often as possible (but in a serious and reflected sort of way)! Do it at forums, in the newspaper, magazines, on the news, YouTube, to your friends, family, school class, anything where you can reach out and start our silent revolution
Fantastic cause that I have always supported. But, you will never succeed until you force the opposing side to be tortured and die for THEIR stupid, anti-freedom-of-choice cause. Do you think England would have voluntarily given up the US colonies? You think the Nazis would voluntarily have gone away? You have to support civilians to use deadly force as much as you support paid government troops.
This is a really excellent video.
GOD BLESS , Keep standing up for the rights & lifes of the AMERICA People. I pray that President Obama wakes ups. And saves the people. The child in Jail could have been one. That could have been founded to cure for cancer,So many lifes our lost. Because this law is out order. From a Judge & His wife.”
we need such a conference in the E.U., too!
maybe in Germany?
Excellent video. Here’s hoping the forthcoming comments aren’t too childish and don’t denigrate such an important discussion…
the idea about psych substances is sorta silly. i don’t think people would do that, and people who were experienced with psychedelic substances would find it funny but perhaps insulting and stupid.
