  1. People seriously need to stop stereotyping typing drugs does PCP make you “go crazy” yes it does sometimes (ESPECIALLY in high doses) but so does Benadryl., in low doses under medical supervision it’s a hypnotic, sedating anesthetic. PCP is just not medically appropriate anymore. No drug is inherently “bad for you.” For instance heroin (diacetylmorphine) is a completely safe medicine for pain (in low doses under medical settings, but on the street, cut with fentanyl is extremely dangerous and deadly. People wanna believe so SOOO badly that PCP gives you super human strength which if never does NOT. And that heroin kills you 100% of the time just because “it’s HEROIN!!!”
    These substances, these inanimate molecular clusters are just that.
    What’s really dangerous and deadly is prohibition and the fact that you don’t know if you’re getting anything from 10% heroin, 100% heroin, 1% fentanyl 100% fentanyl. Prohibition kills not the drugs

  2. @JRE Clips. Iv'e smoked a lot of pot. But now it's not for me. In my case, I didn't like the fuzzy thinking that came with it. I love my thinking and eventually realised i was becoming too presumptuous. I was missing major points that i took for granted. But – That's just me. Everyone reacts differently. I think Steven was right when you had that last argument, but he lacked the articulation and experience to say it. I know he missed the flight, and is probably sore with you, but he should not be. Neither should you be with him.

    Firstly. Pride in ones thinking, sharpness and social stigma play a huge role. People can be proud that they have a clear head – oftentimes we go through a struggle making sense of the world and afterwards we are proud of getting through it. We value our sensibilities. To artificially change that (Through the use of drugs) can be an insult to all they have achieved. (Just Sayin) It's like a self-made stigma. Ok?

    Secondly. Social stigma: This goes without saying. But i think most people nowadays try and throw that. Ewwww… Don't talk to the poor crazy man. Yeah right. I'd pat an alien on the back no problem. Doing is learning.

    Thirdly. Don't push what you feel is right on other people, without accepting and honouring the first point. You get it now? Weed is not a religion man. So stop knocking on each others doors like religious fanatics. Go and have a beer together. Obviously he missed the damned flight, so he values your opinion enough to do that. Love your show man.

  3. Most peoples comments are pretty immature and miss the point of this dialect. It's sad cuz they get in deep into religion and history and both sides of the argument and what allot of people got out of this is Joe was pressuring Ben to try drugs and Ben keeps turning it down because he is a certain way cuz he was a virgin till 30 SMH

  4. Sugar is actually addictive and it's something like 4 times more addictive then cocaine but the only difference is that it for the most part doesn't have any withdrawl symptoms. Like if you give a 4 year old child something that's really heavy in suger, he's gonna be jumping all around the place full of energy

  5. The government sucks at everything? Most high tech R&D is done in the public sector. Car and air traffic seems to run smoothly. And the best health care systems in the world are government run.

  6. Freedom… the ability to do as you wish with your own person and property without effecting others ability to do the same… nice to see Schapiro pushing towards this word and abandoning government control…

  7. Weed is trash, I can’t wait till my baby mother crashes and burns from smoking it. I hate that bitch, deep hatred for her and the fucking thought of weed, people think they are so cool when they smoke it.

  8. The only thing I disagree with Ben on is when he says "driving high is the same thing as driving drunk"

    this is just not true. Driving high has been researched a little bit, and all research shows people being either just as good a driver as sober, or better.
