Keep in mind that I'm straight edge, which means that I don't drink, smoke, or do any illegal drugs. I'm all for decriminalization and regulation, and I think these videos make a lot of good points. If someone wants to drink, smoke, or do drugs, then that is their own business. If they choose to get in a car while intoxicated on anything, that is an entirely different story.
However I am more interested in the parts about the CIA's involvement in importing cocaine to the US to use the profit for the Contra War in Nicaragua. I think all the information about prisons is also very interesting, as is the info about pharmaceutical companies.
One part I thought was somewhat lame is near the end when they start talking about hallucinative drugs and how they help people "think out of the box." This is somewhat of a bullshit excuse because I am perfectly capable of thinking out of the box and I never have tried any hallucinative drugs.
Anyways...watch the videos and decide for yourself what you think about it.
