It is kinda bullshit that marijuana is illegal in most countries. Then why not forbid alcohol too? Oh yeah, profit.
Charming.
Very nice animation.
Really does speak out against the prohibition of marijuana and shows what kind of depression it brings.
I like how it equates addictions like to tobacco and alcoholism to a people-controlling opiate. Alcohol is ten times worse the drug weed is
I am not certain if the analogy is really completely justified, but the animation was wonderful nonetheless. [editline]09:21PM[/editline] The main point I would raise against it is, that you don't have to drink nor smoke, in opposition of how the video presented it, and I am a bit skeptical that weed being able to fully replace other medicine, but those are details.
Too bad that a wonder drug that makes you happy, cures your diseases, helps the economy and replaces all other drugs without addiction, side effects or any harm to anyone DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST. And drug regulation is not a black meance meant to take all the fun and color from the world.

People who are addicted are sent to counciling, in which they are [b]encouraged[/b] (peacefully, not KGB-style) to sign up for rehab, but its completely voluntary. I'd like to hear you come up with an argument against that. I don't see anything negative with that.
the also forgot the uses of hemp
too bad people don't just dance when high and go around killing people with cars. It's a shame he wasted his talent and time on some hippie crap though.

There are no reasons for it to be illegal.

Plus, it's been used on Chemo patients and it helped them get their appetite back and made the whole process easier on them.
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;23836993]too bad people don't just dance when high and go around killing people with cars.

Also, I've still never heard of a car accident in which weed was the cause but whatever.
Awesome animation. Portugal has a great system where legalisation has proven to be a great success. They now have a lower number of drug addicts and at the same time have legal recreational drugs.

I would think if you were driving while high you would be going 45 in a 50 lane and shit along those lines

[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;23840068]where in my post did I say "alcohol is better"[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter. You're implying that marijuana makes drivers more dangerous when we already are living with alcohol making drivers flat out killers.
I'm saying we don't need more people DUI
But that's already illegal and people still do it.
That was amazing! I loved how they didn't reference anything until the end.
[QUOTE=Lachz0r;23840710]But that's already illegal and people still do it.[/QUOTE] What he's saying is that if you made weed legal there is a chance that there would be more people having duis with weed in addition to alcohol.
The video is awesome, and right too. Why can't we use the marijuana or weed, that is less dangerous than alcohol or smoke. But how the fuck can we change this?
[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;23839647] Protip: Driving high is almost as safe as driving sober.[/QUOTE] Why do cops still arrest you?
That was pretty ingenious.
[QUOTE=Super_Poo;23841770]Why do cops still arrest you?[/QUOTE] note the word almost.
[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;23839647] Protip: Driving high is almost as safe as driving sober.[/QUOTE] I'm completely for legalization and know a lot about marijuana but even i find this hard to believe. Then again, "Almost" could mean a lot of things.
I would be pissed if every person around me was high all the fucking time.
