  1. Peace Love says:

    Reasons why I believe all drugs should be legalized:
    1) Freedom of choice, every person should be able to choose what they put into their bodies. This is public policy issue.

    2) Hazards with even the most dangerous of drugs typically has more to do with purity, dosaging, and tool maintenance which can be better controlled in regulated markets. This is pharmaceutical issue.

    3) Non-commercial markets encourage a lack of oversight and regulation which funds gun violence, burglaries, gang activity, and violent crime. This is an economics and criminality issue.

    4) Illegality creates and encourages a public perception about drug users that never before existed. They lose jobs and are publicly ostracized for something for what is a natural human behavior. They are often cherry picked vices looked at unfairly and not given chances. This is an interpersonal psychology issue.

    5) The study of these drugs and their affects will change. Our understanding of psychology will change as we gain new technologies to better see their affects. Illegality creates barriers to research. This is science and research issue.

    6) They can make you feel good. This is an underrated interpersonal psychology issue.

    7) Young people should be educated about how to control and moderate the joy happiness they feel in their lives instead they are taught to just say no, which in some cases can be a downright impossibility. This is similar to the sex education arguments which say to educate and teach birth control over abstinence only. It may be necessary to explain to people the processes of dangers and even more importantly the positive aspects of drugs and emotional consistency they can some times offer over common emotional states. Developing better value practices is a part of growing up and substance users face unrelenting charges of skewed values and information that cigarette smokers, alcohol drinkers, and even other much more expensive risky pastimes can be associated with. This is an education issue.

    8) There is historical culture of substance use which is traced back to most ancient civilization that will be extinct unless properly preserved. This is a historical issue.

    9) Drug illegality is the primary leverage against minorities and nonwhite communities, also, more general speaking communities of poverty and lower middle class. These sub-groups are unfairly targeted and ostracized for the habits of a larger socioeconomic class. This is a community, racial issue

    10) Recovery and Treatment options for substance users and abusers are currently, for the most part reserved for individuals with the resources and support structure that is not available to many poor and underprivileged neighborhoods and people. Research has shown that these 'harm reduction" based approaches are cheaper on a state and easier/better for a populace than more putative approaches like jail. Drug user should have opportunity for employment and standard of living same as anyone else. This is a treatment and community concern issue.

    11) At the moment prescription based opiates (oxycontin) and cocanites (novacaine) are grown in other poorer countries then shipped across the world for refinement and sale. A ground war in Afghanistan feeds the users of the United States while farms in India and Tanzania are the growing grounds for major world retail pharmaceuticals. These counties have low export costs and can be pressured into high militarization by the strong United States forces. This is a global militarization and security issue

    12) The United States currently houses the largest prison population on the planet by an absurd margin. Most jailed individuals are for drug use or possession, and a majority in the low amount possession. Over half of individuals believe there should be a better approach to criminal justice and that at least marijuana legalization is a viable option in the United States. This is anti-open society, and anti-representative government stance. It is a crime-punishment philosophy issue.

    13) While we have already discussed the blanket discrimination that systematically happens against all drug user, it is important to highlight the typically unfair discrimination which happens among the different types of drugs. Marijuana is the ideal and primary example where it remains illegal despite being safer than alcohol a heavily commercialized commodity.

    I'm ready for weed to be legal. Who's with me?

  3. NORML85 says:

    CUT YOUR NAILS BRO! GROSS!

  4. Bryce Melanson says:

    adam corolla sure changed his outfit looks good tho

  5. Dustpuuppy says:

    If you'll check, you'll find that it was cotton farmers who originally got pot outlawed. Hemp was cutting into their profits in the rope industry, of all things.

  6. john smith says:

    NO The government already has too much of my money and too much control over me. Hoods are more honest and less dangerous then the thugs in goverment. DE CRIMINALIZE

  7. Diseases of Civilization says:

    Tough Crowd was cancelled, and they put this on. Bang up job, Comedy Central.

  8. R lv says:

    I'm glad Adam aborted whatever he was about to blurt out. Just the stuff he actually said was going into nonsense or inconsequential territory.

  9. Thomas Goldfinch says:

    Regretfully for many reasons including Roland Martin's stubborn evasion of and recalcitrance about his often expressed homophobia, I pledged to never click the "I like this" thumb up button on any YouTube video that gave this reprobate troglodyte a platform of mass communication. He's the David Duke of LGBTI civil rights and smirks about it. This grieves me in this instance because I really like Larry Wilmore's humor, intelligence and his heretofore-viewed very progressive views on LGBT matters. This Roland Martin, however, is especially noxious about LGBTI matters. Adam Carolla has a checkered past on this set of issues, too, but he has sincerely tried to apologize for what he said were unintended slights, boorish as has been his demeanor all too often, but unintendedly homophobic. I don't go out of my way to watch or listen to Carolla, but I'll avoid like the plague, any plague, including the HIV Epidemic of which he's made light in the past without apology, the type of smug insincerity that Martin oozes while grinning.

  10. Hallusion says:

    Fucking hate this show

  11. Toughen Up, Fluffy says:

    I've been smoking weed for forty damn years and I'm not hot up on the dirty lottery confusion. See? No prob.

  12. Auto Didact says:

    This show is garbage. There is nothing on Comedy Central with any ingenuity anymore. Programs like Strangers with Candy, Tough Crowd, Upright Citizens Brigade, Insomniac, have been replaced with shows with the same politicized, liberal news show premise, other hack sketch show ideas, etc.

  13. Angie Byars says:

    I am advocating donating to Bernie's campaign on 4/20/16…We can support Bernie and show the numbers of people who demand an end to "double martini standards." Research marijuana? The people already have and nobody died! I have donated to Bernie 2x and I am on ss with no health insurance. I will donate to Bernie again on 4/20. Join me and spread the word! Berning for freedom!

  14. 0230Raveena says:

    Ok seriously, those damn comedians need to shut up and let Dr.Hart Speak. He has done more than 20 years of research on drugs and addiction. He is the foremost authority on the subject. From reading his book High Price, you will see that the war on drugs is politically motivated to deteriorate vulnerable communities further than the usual institutionalize racism and poverty.

  15. Ross Melland says:

    Oh my god. They all need to shut up and listen to Dr.Hart. He is they only one giving actual constructive input.

  16. Björn Norén says:

    I have a question about marijuana : is it true that it loses effect and therefore you need to take stronger doses to get the effekt?

  17. Joel Meredith says:

    real good job on actually debating marijuana legalization… SO frustrating when 'comedians' shun an academics valuable opinion (which rarely gets airtime) for an otherwise pretty shitty joke. god damn.

  18. zingingcutie says:

    dont like the woman soz fam
    she annoying af. Let the doc talk

  19. mcpure90 says:

    Fat bitch thinks she's a comedian. What a disaster. Painfully unfunny, like this show for the most part

  20. Kegga Puusi says:

    Legalize cannabis at least for atheists and agnostics. The rest of the people are already under the influence of "the opium of the masses".

  21. nikitapardis says:

    don't do it with an apple?!! fruits that get you higher than any other method I swear whenever I don't have anything to smoke with an almost becoming happy because I know I'm going to grab a fruit and it's going to make me so hot whether it's an apple or an orange if anybody knows any other fruits that work please let me know and if you haven't tried apples and oranges do it and prepare to get liiiiiiit

  22. cracked eggs says:

    Some things you will never hear about marijuana/alcohol:

    – Father savagely beats his son and the family dog in a stoned stupor

    – Artists often consume alcohol to get their 'creative juices' flowing

    – A bar fight recently broke out between two stoned men

    – Man caught speeding down the highway while under the influence of THC

    – Man stops taking marijuana and faces severe withdrawal symptoms

  23. sillyshitt says:

    I would gladly subscribe to Larry but I really don't want all of that commedy central spam. How do I do that?

  24. Collin Hovell says:

    GREEN LEAVES MATTER

  25. Collin Hovell says:

    The Cally fine is stupid too.

  26. Aurik Saxon says:

    Larry Wilmore is not funny at all and his show sucks

  27. James Vaughan-Williams says:

    Wait, who was arguing against legalisation? It sounded like both sides of the table were for legalisation.

  28. Isatu Mansaray says:

    I don't care for people wanting the right to smoke marijuana legally. Besides, Weed today is more dangers then it has been in the past. People are cutting it with some crazy stuff that are making people act like zombies or crazy seizures. I do support legalizing cannabis oil that comes form the marijuana plant that parents want to give to their children that help them control the 20 seizures that they have a day.

  29. Ryan Marshall says:

    Wow she was actually right about hash. I'm impressed.

  30. ManateeAdvocate says:

    Goddamn do I miss this show and segments like this.

  31. Monifa Gilbert says:

    bad things that can happen 1. if persons have a low threshold for the drug: overdose and subsequent death 2. if persons have a predisposition to schizophrenia: cannabis induced psychosis and subsequent schizophrenia

  32. Ken Sturm says:

    AC is a biggot. No? Then why does he say "African American" and call European American's "White people" So many refure to Euro American's as White people like we're trash. He also said Asian, and not "Asian American" Favoritism for blacks, biggot
