Summary

The war on drugs has been a massive failure. The police now view every citizen wandering around as a criminal. They are forced into an adversarial relationship with your standard citizen because everybody's got something to hide these days. All because they're smoking a joint or dropping a tab of acid or what have you?

00:00:00.000 Thank you all.
00:00:30.000 So here in Canada, we are in the process of legalizing marijuana across the board.
00:00:42.620 And this worries me quite a bit.
00:00:48.540 Now listen, the war on drugs has been a massive failure.
00:01:05.300 It's created a militarized police force.
00:01:09.320 The police now are forced to view every citizen wandering around as a criminal.
00:01:20.020 They are forced into an adversarial relationship with your standard citizen.
00:01:28.120 Because everybody's got something to hide these days.
00:01:32.740 All because they're smoking a joint.
00:01:36.140 Or they're dropping a tab of acid.
00:01:37.700 Or what have you.
00:01:47.620 See, I'm not exactly a big fan of the war on drugs.
00:01:56.120 That said, I'm not exactly a fan of drugs either.
00:01:58.580 The problem with drugs is that you're mortgaging your future when you take them.
00:02:10.780 If you've ever seen a person that's, like, one of these burnt-up degenerates in their 30s.
00:02:25.180 Fentanyl right now, it's killing a lot of people in Canada.
00:02:27.860 It's an opioid from what I gather.
00:02:32.700 I see people that are destroying themselves through methamphetamine.
00:02:36.780 That's another nasty one.
00:02:42.700 Meanwhile, we've got people legally taking opiates.
00:02:47.160 We've got people that are legally taking speed, similar to cocaine.
00:02:54.340 You don't notice it in your early 20s.
00:03:00.780 You know, if you start taking drugs in your early 20s,
00:03:03.520 your body seems like you can handle it.
00:03:07.000 It seems like everything's going okay.
00:03:08.840 But you look at that person 10, 15 years later,
00:03:12.320 and that's when the hangover kicks in.
00:03:16.260 And there's this big thing about, well, marijuana is no different than alcohol.
00:03:28.700 Alcohol causes cirrhosis of the livers.
00:03:31.080 Alcohol causes drunk driving deaths.
00:03:33.040 Alcohol does X, Y, and Z.
00:03:35.040 And if you talk to any cop,
00:03:36.140 you know, it's 95% of what the cops deal with,
00:03:43.460 it's alcohol.
00:03:46.220 Alcohol is involved somehow.
00:03:53.580 You know, and I once had a cop say to me,
00:03:56.440 I don't know why you drink alcohol anyway.
00:03:58.740 It just makes you stupider.
00:03:59.840 Again, correlation causation.
00:04:06.640 You know, it's like a doctor saying that this person died because of excess speed.
00:04:12.720 And so excess speed is the problem.
00:04:14.760 And like driving on the highway, excess speed.
00:04:16.840 If it's an open, clear highway,
00:04:19.640 you have good tires on your car,
00:04:21.200 and you are an experienced driver,
00:04:23.420 guess what?
00:04:24.020 Doing 50% over the speed limit,
00:04:26.480 not really a problem if it's an empty highway.
00:04:31.300 And a doctor
00:04:32.080 is not an expert on automotives.
00:04:38.080 So yes, of course,
00:04:40.100 of course,
00:04:41.840 the assholes the cops have to deal with.
00:04:44.600 95% of the time alcohol is involved.
00:04:47.440 Of course.
00:04:48.900 Why wouldn't it be?
00:04:52.640 Same thing.
00:04:53.340 It's not the drunk man driving 10 under the limit
00:04:56.760 that dies.
00:04:59.020 It's the drunk man driving 20 over the limit
00:05:01.260 who dies.
00:05:02.860 Well, yeah, duh.
00:05:05.280 You know, if you're doing
00:05:06.300 15 miles an hour,
00:05:08.740 it doesn't matter whether you're sober or hammered.
00:05:11.880 You know, it's not going to be a fatality.
00:05:20.380 So the weed proponents love to trot this out.
00:05:22.860 They love to trot out the destructive effects of alcohol
00:05:25.520 as if it's the alcohol that forces you to drive
00:05:30.140 as opposed to you being an idiot
00:05:35.520 and choosing to go get drunk
00:05:38.640 and then choosing to drive
00:05:40.360 and choosing to get drunk somewhere
00:05:41.920 where you need to drive back from.
00:05:46.160 It's not like we have a bunch of people
00:05:47.800 sitting at home with their bottle of weasel whiskey
00:05:50.760 and all of a sudden,
00:05:52.060 shoot, I need to go drive.
00:05:58.580 But let's get to the bloody point here.
00:06:02.980 Weed really concerns me
00:06:04.540 because alcohol,
00:06:09.220 well,
00:06:11.380 alcohol, you pay for it
00:06:12.680 the next day.
00:06:13.960 you know when you are drinking
00:06:16.540 because you feel terrible
00:06:18.180 the next day.
00:06:22.100 With weed,
00:06:23.460 the hangover isn't so obvious.
00:06:27.260 So, number one.
00:06:28.160 My number one problem with weed.
00:06:32.300 It's actually not the hangover.
00:06:33.460 My number one problem
00:06:34.340 is that weed
00:06:35.160 does make you stupid.
00:06:37.180 Alcohol relaxes you.
00:06:41.700 Alcohol,
00:06:42.400 in my case,
00:06:43.560 it makes me a bit more loquacious.
00:06:46.000 It's easier to speak
00:06:47.200 when I'm drinking.
00:06:48.840 That's why I'm usually drinking
00:06:49.860 in these videos.
00:06:52.360 It makes me less analytical.
00:06:56.320 And if I drink too much
00:06:58.680 or if I'm emotionally unstable,
00:07:00.660 I'm prone to doing something stupid.
00:07:02.260 Absolutely.
00:07:02.660 But on its own,
00:07:05.820 alcohol has a distinct effect.
00:07:07.700 It relaxes me.
00:07:08.660 I know what it's doing.
00:07:10.840 And that's it.
00:07:17.340 Weed
00:07:17.860 turns
00:07:19.400 shitty television
00:07:20.760 into top-notch
00:07:23.260 entertainment.
00:07:30.900 So,
00:07:31.380 when you come home
00:07:32.000 from a long day
00:07:33.040 at the job site
00:07:34.360 and you're
00:07:36.540 tired
00:07:37.160 and sweaty
00:07:37.880 and
00:07:39.260 your boss
00:07:39.920 yelled at you
00:07:40.640 and you hate your life,
00:07:43.020 I'm going to have a drink
00:07:43.980 to take the edge off.
00:07:49.480 Weed
00:07:49.960 makes it seem
00:07:52.160 okay.
00:07:53.900 Oh, man,
00:07:54.800 I'm stressed out
00:07:55.540 about my life.
00:07:56.400 I'm going to smoke a joint.
00:07:58.200 I'm going to watch
00:07:58.940 a stupid comedy.
00:08:01.380 And I'm going to
00:08:02.640 giggle like a retard.
00:08:08.060 Alcohol
00:08:08.460 also has some
00:08:09.100 mild euphoric effects,
00:08:11.020 but it's nothing
00:08:11.640 compared to weed.
00:08:14.100 Weed,
00:08:14.720 you can piss away
00:08:15.720 five years
00:08:17.200 of your life
00:08:17.840 going absolutely
00:08:18.860 nowhere
00:08:19.620 because you're
00:08:20.580 smoking a joint
00:08:21.300 every evening.
00:08:21.920 You're not even
00:08:22.340 smoking that much.
00:08:23.880 You're smoking
00:08:24.440 a single joint
00:08:25.160 every evening
00:08:25.780 and you're just
00:08:26.780 pissed away
00:08:27.320 five years
00:08:28.060 of your life
00:08:28.620 doing nothing.
00:08:36.960 Second,
00:08:39.720 weed
00:08:40.100 does
00:08:41.540 trigger
00:08:42.300 schizophrenia.
00:08:48.140 Acid
00:08:48.660 doesn't,
00:08:49.100 by the way.
00:08:51.280 Acid
00:08:51.760 makes you
00:08:53.340 more open-minded,
00:08:54.520 which can be
00:08:55.140 a problem
00:08:55.520 in itself,
00:08:56.280 but no,
00:08:57.100 weed triggers
00:08:57.980 schizophrenia
00:08:58.660 in people.
00:09:00.440 Sometimes it's
00:09:01.180 really,
00:09:01.680 really bad.
00:09:03.580 You know,
00:09:03.820 somebody's gone
00:09:04.300 their entire life,
00:09:05.140 they're 40 years old,
00:09:05.980 never smoked a joint,
00:09:07.180 they smoke one,
00:09:09.220 boom,
00:09:10.280 schizophrenic
00:09:10.940 hearing voices.
00:09:15.040 Other people,
00:09:15.920 it's more
00:09:16.140 of a gradual
00:09:16.740 thing.
00:09:18.220 What's obvious?
00:09:19.100 The brain
00:09:21.940 is still
00:09:22.280 developing
00:09:22.860 when you're
00:09:24.220 15,
00:09:25.220 16.
00:09:27.080 You know,
00:09:27.560 it doesn't
00:09:27.780 really mature
00:09:29.000 into an adult
00:09:30.440 form until
00:09:31.080 you're 21.
00:09:32.660 And even then,
00:09:33.160 it doesn't
00:09:33.440 solidify
00:09:34.100 until your
00:09:34.900 late 20s.
00:09:38.640 And unlike
00:09:39.440 alcohol,
00:09:40.980 which,
00:09:43.220 you know,
00:09:43.540 when you hit
00:09:44.600 about 14
00:09:45.720 to 20,
00:09:46.380 around there,
00:09:47.060 if you drink
00:09:47.520 a little bit,
00:09:48.520 it's not
00:09:48.900 going to
00:09:49.080 destroy you.
00:09:50.540 If you drink
00:09:50.940 a lot,
00:09:51.300 it will,
00:09:51.680 but if you
00:09:53.000 drink moderately,
00:09:53.760 it won't.
00:09:55.340 Weed will
00:09:56.000 really mess
00:09:57.000 with the
00:09:57.860 development
00:09:58.260 of a young
00:09:58.820 mind.
00:10:03.480 And the
00:10:04.420 more you
00:10:04.820 smoke a bit,
00:10:06.080 the more
00:10:07.300 you start
00:10:07.860 to lean
00:10:08.500 into that
00:10:09.380 schizophrenic
00:10:10.360 mindset.
00:10:11.620 this leads
00:10:18.000 to the
00:10:18.500 third point.
00:10:22.480 And this
00:10:23.060 is the
00:10:23.240 hangover.
00:10:24.360 You don't
00:10:25.040 feel the
00:10:25.460 hangover
00:10:25.840 from weed.
00:10:27.760 You do
00:10:28.480 get a
00:10:28.920 hangover.
00:10:30.400 I can
00:10:31.000 usually
00:10:31.920 gauge
00:10:32.600 people that
00:10:33.300 smoke weed,
00:10:34.060 even if they
00:10:34.460 haven't smoked
00:10:35.000 in a few
00:10:35.480 days,
00:10:36.060 because they're
00:10:38.820 emotional.
00:10:41.600 People that
00:10:42.320 smoke weed,
00:10:44.300 yeah,
00:10:44.520 they're not
00:10:44.780 violent,
00:10:46.100 yeah,
00:10:46.340 they're not
00:10:46.600 out of
00:10:46.920 control,
00:10:47.580 the way an
00:10:47.960 alcoholic might
00:10:48.700 be,
00:10:49.520 but they are
00:10:52.360 intemperate
00:10:54.280 with their
00:10:55.740 emotions.
00:10:58.400 They get
00:10:59.200 mad,
00:11:00.180 not angry,
00:11:01.380 they get
00:11:01.660 mad really
00:11:02.960 easily,
00:11:03.560 really upset,
00:11:04.260 they get
00:11:04.580 upset about
00:11:05.360 things.
00:11:07.020 They'll
00:11:07.540 start crying
00:11:08.320 about
00:11:08.600 things.
00:11:12.320 They tend
00:11:13.300 to lack
00:11:13.880 emotional
00:11:14.900 regulation.
00:11:23.360 And we're
00:11:24.420 going to
00:11:24.600 create a
00:11:25.140 whole
00:11:25.380 generation
00:11:26.080 now that
00:11:27.400 weed is
00:11:27.880 legalized
00:11:28.500 that grows
00:11:30.240 up with
00:11:30.660 no emotional
00:11:31.880 regulation.
00:11:32.740 They're just
00:11:32.980 crybabies.
00:11:34.260 the whole
00:11:34.820 damn time.
00:11:35.380 They won't
00:11:35.700 get angry
00:11:36.460 about things,
00:11:37.100 they'll just
00:11:37.320 get upset
00:11:37.960 all the time.
00:11:39.120 Like,
00:11:39.320 man,
00:11:39.600 why are you
00:11:40.000 harshing my
00:11:40.820 buzz?
00:11:43.580 This
00:11:43.980 upsets me,
00:11:44.920 I'm going to
00:11:45.200 cry a little
00:11:45.880 bit.
00:11:46.240 Somebody
00:11:46.480 needs to
00:11:46.820 come sort
00:11:47.480 this out.
00:11:48.840 You know,
00:11:49.060 and this
00:11:49.280 leads into
00:11:49.640 the final
00:11:50.100 point.
00:11:51.000 drug,
00:11:51.700 this wonderful
00:11:56.560 drug,
00:11:57.960 unfortunately
00:11:59.020 comes from
00:11:59.500 a plant
00:11:59.920 that's a
00:12:00.280 greedy
00:12:00.560 little
00:12:00.820 son of
00:12:01.100 a bitch
00:12:01.580 and loves
00:12:02.320 sucking up
00:12:02.840 radon
00:12:03.380 with everything
00:12:04.560 else from
00:12:04.960 the soil.
00:12:07.480 And,
00:12:08.000 you know,
00:12:08.240 it maybe
00:12:09.760 takes six
00:12:10.400 months off
00:12:10.840 your life
00:12:11.220 or so.
00:12:11.560 But at
00:12:16.840 the same
00:12:17.120 time,
00:12:18.780 tobacco,
00:12:19.860 nicotine,
00:12:21.440 it increases
00:12:22.780 concentration.
00:12:25.560 It
00:12:26.200 regulates
00:12:27.620 appetite.
00:12:30.220 It's been
00:12:31.120 shown to
00:12:32.260 boost your
00:12:32.940 IQ by
00:12:33.680 about three
00:12:34.440 points.
00:12:35.060 And it
00:12:40.740 just so
00:12:41.160 happened that
00:12:41.820 Europeans
00:12:42.260 started smoking
00:12:43.100 tobacco right
00:12:46.200 before the
00:12:47.000 Industrial
00:12:47.540 Revolution
00:12:48.280 started.
00:12:51.620 And now,
00:12:53.120 now,
00:12:56.480 everybody's
00:12:57.060 quitting
00:12:57.260 smoking.
00:12:58.880 At the
00:12:59.520 same time,
00:13:01.840 asthma rates
00:13:02.460 are going
00:13:03.200 through the
00:13:03.700 roots.
00:13:05.060 Because
00:13:05.380 non-smokers
00:13:06.100 just close
00:13:06.540 all the
00:13:06.780 windows,
00:13:07.200 don't even
00:13:07.480 worry about
00:13:08.000 any of
00:13:08.300 that nonsense.
00:13:09.840 They don't
00:13:10.420 like fresh
00:13:10.920 air.
00:13:16.180 And on
00:13:16.780 top of
00:13:17.040 that,
00:13:17.260 society is
00:13:17.880 getting
00:13:18.140 dumber.
00:13:24.420 As I
00:13:25.020 understand it,
00:13:25.500 when you
00:13:25.700 correlate for
00:13:26.380 the Flynn
00:13:27.160 effect,
00:13:27.940 where the
00:13:28.780 measurement of
00:13:29.520 IQ goes
00:13:30.140 up because
00:13:31.080 over the
00:13:31.880 past century
00:13:32.400 we've become
00:13:32.960 better at
00:13:33.420 taking tests,
00:13:35.060 nonetheless,
00:13:39.140 IQ is
00:13:39.640 going down.
00:13:41.580 IQ is
00:13:42.020 plummeting.
00:13:44.500 Now, is
00:13:45.280 this because
00:13:45.640 we're inviting
00:13:47.140 third world
00:13:48.060 savages into
00:13:49.080 our countries?
00:13:49.960 Is it because
00:13:50.760 these stupid
00:13:51.500 are outbreeding
00:13:52.540 the smart?
00:13:57.100 Could it be
00:13:57.900 something else
00:13:58.360 in time?
00:13:58.580 is it the
00:13:59.060 soy in
00:14:00.240 our diet?
00:14:01.640 I have no
00:14:02.380 idea.
00:14:03.880 The fact of
00:14:04.500 the matter is
00:14:04.920 IQs are
00:14:05.800 plummeting
00:14:06.500 right now.
00:14:11.420 And
00:14:12.020 instead of
00:14:13.020 encouraging
00:14:13.500 tobacco,
00:14:14.660 which boosts
00:14:15.860 IQ,
00:14:16.380 which boosts
00:14:16.840 concentration,
00:14:17.960 which prevents
00:14:18.460 obesity,
00:14:20.840 and by the
00:14:21.680 way, it also
00:14:22.100 prevents
00:14:22.660 neurological
00:14:23.960 disorders in
00:14:24.900 your old age.
00:14:25.640 it prevents
00:14:27.180 mental breakdowns,
00:14:28.480 a very good
00:14:29.280 chemical for
00:14:29.840 the brain,
00:14:30.860 just that
00:14:31.300 bloody radon
00:14:32.740 that's not
00:14:34.260 so good for
00:14:34.840 you,
00:14:35.940 plus all the
00:14:36.600 chemicals they
00:14:38.160 used to
00:14:38.460 dry the
00:14:38.980 leaves.
00:14:41.220 We're
00:14:41.880 discouraging
00:14:42.340 this drug
00:14:42.920 that makes
00:14:44.000 people smarter,
00:14:45.220 but takes
00:14:46.640 six months
00:14:47.460 off their
00:14:47.800 life.
00:14:48.080 and now
00:14:52.080 we're
00:14:52.300 encouraging
00:14:52.820 a drug
00:14:53.340 that not
00:14:56.740 just
00:14:57.200 makes you
00:14:58.860 stupider,
00:15:00.440 not just
00:15:01.100 makes you
00:15:01.360 more obedient,
00:15:02.960 but also
00:15:06.040 makes you
00:15:06.360 more childish,
00:15:07.820 more
00:15:08.960 emotional,
00:15:11.480 and not
00:15:14.900 just
00:15:15.060 temporarily.
00:15:16.620 Alcohol
00:15:17.180 temporarily
00:15:18.820 makes you
00:15:20.140 a bit
00:15:20.500 more
00:15:20.760 emotional,
00:15:21.860 and you
00:15:23.620 pay for it
00:15:24.080 the next
00:15:24.340 day.
00:15:29.100 With
00:15:29.620 marijuana,
00:15:31.080 you pay
00:15:35.380 for it
00:15:35.940 when you're
00:15:39.280 35,
00:15:43.000 and you've
00:15:43.660 been working
00:15:44.000 a dead-end
00:15:44.640 job your
00:15:46.380 entire
00:15:46.800 life,
00:15:47.680 because you
00:15:49.120 were too
00:15:49.440 busy
00:15:49.880 giggling
00:15:50.500 at whatever
00:15:51.600 crap was
00:15:53.160 coming out
00:15:53.860 of the
00:15:54.520 television
00:15:54.880 screen.
00:16:01.300 So yeah,
00:16:02.240 we're legalizing
00:16:02.940 a drug.
00:16:05.700 It doesn't
00:16:06.500 temporarily make
00:16:07.300 you stupid
00:16:07.660 like this
00:16:08.100 one.
00:16:10.340 It,
00:16:11.120 if you do
00:16:12.360 it consistently,
00:16:13.480 makes you
00:16:13.960 permanently
00:16:14.520 stupid,
00:16:16.220 as long as
00:16:16.820 you're doing
00:16:17.200 the drug.
00:16:18.120 Do it
00:16:18.440 once a
00:16:18.880 week.
00:16:19.760 You're
00:16:20.240 stupid
00:16:20.660 four days
00:16:21.280 out of
00:16:21.560 the damn
00:16:21.920 week.
00:16:25.440 And that's
00:16:26.120 if you
00:16:26.340 don't develop
00:16:27.100 schizophrenia
00:16:27.820 from the
00:16:29.920 bloody thing.
00:16:31.780 I mean,
00:16:32.020 Christ,
00:16:32.660 legalize
00:16:33.100 ecstasy,
00:16:34.420 legalize
00:16:35.080 acid,
00:16:36.780 LSD.
00:16:39.420 Don't
00:16:39.940 legalize
00:16:40.600 weed.
00:16:40.840 The last
00:16:41.640 thing we
00:16:42.180 need right
00:16:42.860 now is
00:16:44.480 weed.
00:16:46.800 And yet,
00:16:47.440 that is
00:16:47.900 exactly what
00:16:48.820 we're legalizing.
00:16:52.500 Because,
00:16:53.740 like the
00:16:55.320 man said,
00:16:57.340 everybody
00:16:58.620 gets what
00:17:00.280 they want.
00:17:02.280 And what
00:17:03.340 we want
00:17:04.080 is something
00:17:05.480 that will
00:17:05.840 numb us
00:17:06.580 during our
00:17:08.140 decline
00:17:08.840 and our
00:17:10.140 slide
00:17:10.700 towards the
00:17:12.220 grave and
00:17:12.880 becoming a
00:17:13.880 historical
00:17:15.340 footnote,
00:17:17.380 the glories
00:17:18.380 of Western
00:17:19.860 civilization,
00:17:20.660 the rise
00:17:21.320 and fall
00:17:22.540 of Christendom.
00:17:28.940 You're
00:17:29.780 welcome.
00:17:32.260 A reading
00:17:33.140 out.
00:17:33.460 .
00:17:33.760 .
