See and hear the leaders of the legalization movement, as they revealed their plan to legalize, not just marijuana but all drugs! You will see and hear them laughing at how they’ve scammed you.
This first video clip is of Dennis Peron as he laughs at those he has helped scam. Watch: “Changing the Face of Marijuana” Peron smugly talks of how politics is illusions, and how he changed the perception of marijuana and gotten away with it for three and a half years.
Those leading the legalization movement have scammed the public; they have created a Trojan horse with the purpose of legalizing all drugs, not just marijuana. Marijuana is only the spear-tip of the attack. “Trojan Horse”
The next video, watch and listen to the vile and offensive attorney Tony Serra as he described how he describes their plan - - - “The flaw in the armor”.
Then, watch and listen to Ed Rosenthal, a NORML activist and the editor of “High Times”, with the precision timing of a stand-up comic, as he makes “a mockery of the concept of medical marijuana”.
Finally, here’s Richard Cowan as he explains what they’re going to do: Getting legalization of all drugs.
In the beginning, the plan to legalize marijuana was devised to present marijuana as compassionate, only for the sick and dying. In spite of the broken promises to the legislature, that’s quickly changed. There are now, approximately 21,000 medical marijuana card holders in Oregon.
The purpose of legalizing marijuana, was to eventually legalize all illicit drugs; their claim, that marijuana is medicinal … it was only to sway the public . . . to break down the resistance to eventually legalizing all drugs. These hedonists don’t care who gets hurt, and like spoiled little children, they want their drugs and they want them now!

Either that or there right to put whtever in there body that they please. Last time I checked being an American citizen doesn't make you the property of the gov. Then again you'd rather have it so kids can get a hold of them if they wanted, WHY DONT YOU CARE ABOUT THE KIDS WELL BEING! Your no better then whoever killed jfk to stunt the developement of a nation.
If one doesn't own their own body then ownership has no meaning. These doublethinkers frame returning the freedoms all Americans once shared as a sinful "Legalization" to scare people into going along with their police state jail-em-for-Jesus mentality. Guess what? People are starting to see through the "Legalization" bogeyman and don't scare like they once did at the mere mention of the L word. Yeah, jailing people for cannabis or other drugs is a really rotten idea. Call setting them free "Legalization" if you want, so what. Jailing people for smoking flowers is inhuman. Why the lust to jail pot smokers?
I LOVE these stories because they drive home the point that all over the USA there are thousands and thousands of tons of pot being grown, transported, sold and smoked and there's NOTHING the cops can do about it, they don't even catch 5%. Pot should be legal. Mexico just legalized possession of small amounts of all drugs. Switzerland just legalized heroin. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and their experience has been positive. Now if you are caught with a 10 day supply of your drug or less you face an administrative court, not a criminal court, but in practice they are just not arresting people. A group of 10,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors, attorneys and citizens have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (leap.cc ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work.

Your article doesn't make sense, Mr. English.
Groups like LEAP have always been **open** in their demands for ending the drug war. This is their stated goal.
Demanding the legal production and sale of all drugs to adults is NOT the same as advocating the use of these drugs! The people from these organizations do NOT advocate for the use of any drug.
They want the dangerous effects of all drugs taught to children so they have the tools they need to make safe choices. If this means that there is so little demand for the newly legalized drugs that the market collapses then they are fine with that.
Legalization of all drugs has one goal only - to drive the illegal and violent suppliers out of the market. That will never happen until we have an educated people and a legal supply.
No drug, including alcohol and tobacco, should be allowed to be advertised!! Drug advertising must end! Legal supply, educated people, and no advertising, these are essential if we want to win the
You're right, Mark Montgomery. Seventy years of prohibition has resulted in 15 million regular marijuana users, and a further 100 million people acknowledge that they obtained and consumed marijuana **during the prohibition**. The prohibition is NOT reducing marijuana use!
$40 billion a year, 2,000 marijuana-related arrests every *DAY*, 17 brutal murders at the hands of the cartels every *day*, and all for NOTHING!
The prohibition is NOT benefiting our country.
"John English, a retired professional locksmith of 27 years and a member of Drug Watch International.", aka another irrelevant prohibitionist.
properly regulating all substances considered potentially dangerous and letting informed adults who understand the associated risks have access to those substances is the only way to correct the issues that prohibition has so far caused. the more dangerous a substance is PROVED to be the more limited the access to that substance should be, but access to any substance should not be completely removed except for those who prove they can not use regulated substances responsibly. in America we are supposed to be able to live our lives how ever we choose as long as our choices do not infringe on others' rights, freedoms, and/or property and as long we are old enough to understand and acknowledge the possible consequences of our actions. until prohibition is ended we as individuals and our country in its entirety will only continue to suffer for it
John English: fear based prohibitionist
truth sounds more like this. the current prohibition of marijuana is a 100% complete slap in all of our faces as it's basic foundation is that we can't be trusted to use marijuana responsibly. the prohibition of marijuana goes against the basic principles of our Constitution, freedom of choice and liberty to live our lives how we choose, not how others choose for us. at the same time marijuana prohibition causes much greater harm to our collective and individual freedoms then the theoretical and speculative benefits that prohibitionists claim. supposedly jailing 20 million Americans has kept a few kids from getting high when in reality most kids have easier access to marijuana then regulated substances like alcohol and tobacco.
I believe that if the prohibition was able to eliminate the demand for marijuana and other drugs then we wouldn't have a problem. No demand, no suppliers, no problem.
But it can't. Prohibiting legal suppliers in an environment of unrelenting demand only serves to divert the demand to **illegal** sources. Is this Mr. English's secret goal? Does he in fact work for the Mexican drug cartels?
How much do they pay you, Mr. English? How well does you sleep at night knowing that your actions directly cause the brutal murders of an average of 17 people every single day?
Go back to your controllers Mr. English, one day we will end your drug profits and then you and the organizations you work for will be finished!
I feel sorry for John English. Really. This article reveals the anguish and anger bottled up inside his life.
Hey Johnny, you called people who voluntarily choose to consume cannabis "hedonists". What do you have to back up that claim? If you are a Christian, like me, then do a little google search on 'bible cannabis'. It would appear that [good] people in the Bible used this plant in worship services. D'oh!
Are adult citizens of the United States who choose to consume the more powerful drug, alcohol, "hedonists" ? Are they "spoiled little children" ?
What a shame. If pride does not get in your way, then in a few years you may change your viewpoint on this and other issues. Yet, pride is extremely powerful. I hope you overcome it.
I wonder who J. English is writing too?
Everybody, and i mean everybody knows the war on drugs, especially on cannabis, has failed miserably, all it does is keep the people in power employed in an endless war. It rapes people of tax money to send their kids to prison for smoking a bit of pot, which incidentally has never killed (directly) anybody in the history of its use.. unlike alcohol and tobacco.
The only way to keep people and drugs safe is to normalize them, make soft drugs available in licensed shops and hard drugs from prescription from your Dr.
This would wipe out over half of all criminal cartels to..
its not rocket science we're talking about here, any person with the slightest education could work this out!
There are no leaders of the marijuana legalization movement. There are leaders of a few groups that are advocating legalization, but the vast majority of the many millions of us who believe marijuana should be legal are not members of any of these groups. I have never been a member of any of these groups, nor have I given them any money. I've been an advocate for legalizing marijuana though since before most of these groups ever existed.
Mr. English, you want to paint the marijuana legalization movement out as some sort of conspiracy from a few small groups funded by billionaires who want to legalize drugs for nefarious reasons. The problem with your theory, or this theory you have borrowed from government propaganda, is that there are over 100 million of us who want to legalize marijuana and only a tiny percentage of us belong to any of these groups you are talking about. We're people who see that the prohibition of marijuana is stupid, unfair, un-American, and counterproductive.
Peace and harmony to you John English. May your world be opened to the rights and choices of individuals who choose to live their life differently than you.
And on this purpose to legalize all drugs, that may be the intent of some groups that wish to legalize marijuana, but it will never happen. Now over 40% of voters want marijuana legalized and that percentage keeps growing. The percentage who want to legalize drugs like crack and meth is tiny though. Most of us "legalizers" are dead set against that. I spent many years working as a public defender and a prosecutor before that. I know the kind of problems hard drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin cause and I'd fight harder against the legalization of these drugs than you fight against marijuana legalization. I know very few people who want to legalize those drugs though except some hardcore Libertarian types, and poll results show that only a tiny minority are for legalizing all drugs. It's not going happen. Marijuana will be legalized and regulated similar to alcohol. That will not happen with these other drugs because the vast majority of the people will always be against it.
Mr English is a putz
These organizations such as Marijuana Policy Project and Drug Policy Alliance are heavily funded by a few people, primarily George Soros, who gives millions to campaigns for relaxing drug laws. His stated goal is legalization of all drugs. The recently defeated prop 5 in California was funded by him and John Sperling and a few others and would have reduced sentences for traffickers and other drug offenders. A number of these groups and individuals are working to weaken drug laws and they do have similar strategies. This is not a conspiracy because they are fairly open about their ultimate objectives. The number of poeple who currently use all illegal drugs regularly is under 5% of the population but the more relaxed the laws, the higher the number will rise (historically that has been true), and then the pendulum will swing the other way when people see the problems created by drug use in our society.
What a small-minded and controlling individual you are Mr. English. How disappointing that you would choose to try and force the actions and behaviors of your fellow Americans. To snidely deride and vilify those who choose to use a different intoxicant than alcohol. Yes, medical marijuana is pretty much a front, because there is no debating science. With the proof of it's safety under your nose, you STILL refuse to halt your rhetoric. Leave REAL drugs illegal (crack, meth, heroin), and legalize and TAX marijuana, it's NOWHERE near as bad as you think or say.
STOP the demonization of cannabis afficianados. The VAST majority of us are hard-working, tax-paying, home-owning, child-raising AMERICANS, who want nothing more than to relax with something other than alcohol.
Look at Portugal, who decriminalized ALL drugs seven years agao, did the country fall into the sea? Nope, they've actually seen usage rates DROP, as narco-axis like you are kept from interfering with fellow citizens li
It's a really simple choice. If you like the system currently in place then by all means allow the drug gangs to distribute drugs to all (including our children) and to receive all profits and pay absolutely no taxes.
The only other option is to
LEGALIZE, REGULATE, AND TAX.
Currently children have access drugs because there are no regulations on it. Anybody can grow, sell, or use it. It is an untaxed, unregulated asset. Regulation will remove cannabis from the easy grasp of youth. Seen many alcohol or cigarette dealers around the school yard? Regulation removed these items from the easy reach of children. With cannabis, the government has taken a hands off approach. They keep cannabis and hemp illegal and only move to investigate, arrest, eradicate, and apply asset forfeiture laws all of which do not appear to be providing the intended drug-free results. Prohibition provides the forbidden fruit. It's cool, secret, you got away with something... Prohibition doesn't work. I don
What a putz...
O, ya? John I'd like to thank you keep up your fight, the harder you prohibitionist fight the more the wholes , assumptions , and lies becoming more apparent to the public at large.
Legalization is constitutional the right thing to do. The Feds have no right to make a substance "banned" without amending the constitution. However if individual states do have the right to ban it..... I just won't live there.
Wow I have not read anything as ignorant as this article in a long time.
This is just more self serving BS by a person who has an agenda.
You are a fool if you think Medical Marijuana is a scam. It is a medicine and was a medicine before the money mongers made it illegal. Not because it is dangerous, because we KNOW it is not, but because the could make more money with it being illegal.
Shame on you John English for spreading your lies and misinformation.
For the REAL truth on medical marijuana go to: oregongreenfree.net/
People, people, people, PLEASE cut this man some slack. Before the alzheimers took its terrible toll he probably could semi-intelligenly defend his outright lies and prohibitionist bs. It's not his fault dementia has taken it,s toll. OH, and by the way Mr English, medical research now shows that marijuana helps people with alzheimers. Maybe you should try some, just a thought.
This article is EXCELENT because it shows exactly what the ldrug legalizers really had in mind when they started to deceive the general public. John, please write more!!!
Here comes DARE and it's wisdom. Leave common sense behind and follow the leader. Dear Leader knows what is right for you. You are too hedonistic to understand this is for your own good.
This guy is an idiot. He and his kind will be dead soon enough. Poor dumb SOB doesn't have a clue.
Lynn, changing the marijuana-control policy from prohibition to legalization is NOT a "relaxation of the drug laws". There is nothing "relaxed" about the way we control alcohol and tobacco today, and both products are controlled by the policy of legalization.
Furthermore, every place that has moved to legalize or decriminalize marijuana has seen a **reduction** in use, not an increase as you claim. In the Netherlands the rate not only went down compared with the rate before "legalization", but it also went down significantly when compared to our own.
Banning the legal sale of a product that has unrelenting demand does nothing but divert that demand to illegal sources.
Your legislators are waiting for you to demand that they end the prohibition, they can't act until your demands come in. Write to them today and tell them to end the prohibition and legalize the production and sale of marijuana to adults!
Some people still live under stones
Legalize it. Treat it like alcohol plain and simple. End black market and violence. I’m so sick of the Gateway Drug Argument. Alcohol is the ULTIMATE GATEWAY DRUG. It’s probably 90% of people’s first buzz. And if they like it, the want more. None of my successful friends that smoke got into heavy drugs like coke. It's a shame that the people who get addicted and kill themselves with crack & cocaine get wrapped in the same category as an adult that want to smoke a joint on a Friday night..... What a weird world. Once it’s legal it will be exciting for the first 3 months. After that, the people who smoke now, will probably smoke the same amount. And the people who won’t, simply won’t. Not much will change. And if treated like alcohol. Kids will have as much access to it as a 6 pack of beer. In otherwords, if regulated, kids can’t get it. So legalize it. And to the folks that say NO and that have never done it, what right do they have to judge it?
I feel sorry for this guy, When you soak up this much propaganda then try to put it out as some type of gospel (through in some name calling & fear cult wording)
My wife just went through cancer & despite your uninformed false statements we know the real story behind this non-lethal substance called cannabis sativa.
SHAME ON YOU FOR YOUR FOOLISH ATTITUDE!!!
The drug war has failed. Please stop writing fictional columns John. People that support current marijuana prohibition have not had a logical argument ever. I am sick of these lies the government can't fess up to. Prohibition has failed! It is causing more harm then the drug itself.
End the Prohibition said: "...every place that has moved to legalize or decriminalize marijuana has seen a **reduction** in use, not an increase as you claim. In the Netherlands the rate not only went down compared with the rate before "legalization", but it also went down significantly when compared to our own."
That's not true. Use went up significantly in the Netherlands after they started allowing marijuana. But use was already on the way up there and throughout Western Europe in the mid Seventies when the Dutch changed their policies. Many of their neighbors had and still have higher levels of per capita use even though their laws were much more like our own. And of course, per capita use in the Netherlands never went up as high here. You can possess it there, buy it in shops, grow a little, and yet the per capita percentage of marijuana users is lower in the Netherlands than here. Our laws really don't stop people from smoking pot. The ban is a joke.
The big scam here is cannabis prohibition.
The sooner any adult with ID can buy medical-grade cannabis wherever they currently buy whiskey and cigars, the better.
Google 'Tashkin'.
Any questions?
Richard Steeb, San Jose, California
Seriously mind your own freaking business as this issue doesn't concern you in any way.
And don't give me that "I want a drug free neighborhood, city, world" BS. It isn't going to happen no matter how much $$$ you spend on the war on drugs. People have been desiring drugs for all of human existence and when there is a demand there is a supply no matter what. And good luck eliminating the demand as everyone needs some escape from their crappy lives.
So seriously back off.
John English - So what? Even if everything you are claiming is true...so what? Big deal. The only success of the prohibition on drugs has been to make very ruthless gangsters... very...very rich. Something the war on drugs has never done...not even once..is to keep someone from doing drugs who wants to do them. From the tenor of your article, you support the drug lords vis-a-vis your desire to keep fighting a losing war.
Dont worry though, an earlier poster mentioned that except for marijuana, drugs ain't gonna be legal soon (even though they should be). I sure hope marijuana is though. Oh God! Is it ever retarded to think this plant needs to be illegal.
Don't you get it?! DEA agents tend to be very smart. and very capable people. The trouble however, is that for every single dedicated, smart, capable DEA agent...there are a dozen, if not dozens of equally smart drug lords, chemists, growers, technicians, soldiers... etc. etc. etc. End prohibition. It is a worthless venture.
No surprise. What does a retired locksmith know about Prohibition anyway?
Except he knows he doesn't want Americans to be FREE to choose their own lifestyles, as long as it harms no one but themselves.
Our founding fathers would be extremely disappointed with the nanny state Mr. English wants to impose.
I think you just helped the movement with your uninformed opinion. Just my 2 cents.
I don't even smoke. Just legalize it. Make money and end the street violence and black market.
It should never be throw in the same category as drugs like cocaine.
Oh no, the big bad drugs are going to come get us!!!You sir are an uninformed moron. Have you ever done drugs? I am sure you will puff your chest and say"why I never", exactly so shut up. All drugs should be legalized. They should be taxed and regulated and all the money spent on incarcerating innocent people should go to treatment. You wont feel this way when the Mexican cartels start to control and corrupt our government the way they do Mexico's. Then you will wish you had lobbied for prohibition to end. The drug war is like trying to eradicate an underground nest of ants by stomping on them. It just does not work, end of story.
I mean you are so stupid it hurts.
We so agree with you Mr Fixit. Good to hear you are still active.
It has been too long since we have met, email us at bugzyme.com and lets hook up sometime. We are enjoying Southern Oregon.
We are still trying to save the planet!
PEACE
Wow they will give any half-wit a writing job these days. Please learn some facts before you go off another mouth foaming crusade. Your facts are sorely misguided as it appears you yourself are. Please do the intelligent community a favor and just stop making obscene comments that have no basis in fact.
By the way I just lit up and took a few bong rips. Power to the people.
Why, o, why is the same guy doing the voice over for all of the videos you posted? It's one-sided trash.
Your kung fu is so-so.
Looking at the videos, Richard Cowan says nothing about legalizing all drugs, Rosenthal is just cracking a joke, Peron's just talking about how the image of pot smokers has to change, creepy lawyer guy is just creepy. These are just a bunch of little clips of things people have said taken out of context and mischaracterized. Many involved with medical marijuana do want to legalize marijuana for all purposes, but that doesn't negate the fact that sick people who are helped by marijuana should be able to use it in a free and humane society, and just because someone is for legalizing marijuana and regulating it like alcohol does not mean that they shouldn't fight for it to at least be legal for medicinal purposes. You have no video of anyone here saying all drugs should be legal, and if a minority of "marijuana legalizers" think all drugs should be legal, so what? That's irrelevant. This is a very dishonest article. You are the scammer. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Anyone else notice he used a picture of some ugly shwag weed? Hilarious, like hes trying to make it look ugly. Absolutly hilarious.
Your a fool John. And I hope when you realize that when your older and on 20 differen't medications for your heart problems, pain problems, alzheimers ect ect. When you could have just eaten a Marijuana brownie or smoked a marijuana joint.
I actually bet your on tons of pharmacuticals when you wrote this and every day. The pot calling the kettle black. Atleast the drugs I take are natural herbs, And not some Synthesized chemically altered drug.
Instead of being brainwashed, How bout you realize that this herb would benifit yourself too?
I bet you anything this guy is making money from lobbying against Marijuana, And hes thinking now "Oh crap, im retired, if they legalize drugs, I'll be out of money" Funny how selfish and greedy people can be just for money and ignorance. Ignorance is bliss everyone.
All drugs were legal in this country until 1905. America did quite well up to this time, the drugs in Coca Cola and other products didn't seem to hurt the nation as a whole.
I agree with the author, some drugs should never be legal without a prescription. These would be antibiotics, which lose their effectiveness because of germs building up resistance to them. These should be severely restricted so that they maintain their effectiveness. The second item are certain extremely toxic chemicals such as are used for chemotherapy and some veternary pain killers which are so potent they can cause death immediately with the merest amount.
Specifically Etorphine and similiar compounds.
All other drugs should be legal for adult use providing the person purchasing the drug has attended a class outlining the likely side effects and signs a waiver of liability in the event of injury or death.
What is the point of being an adult, if one cannot make choices about ones life and consciou
This report contains absolutely no evidence to back up the claims.... It simply pulls quotes out of context. You can bring up all of these activists that have their own personal views on marijuana and the direction that sensible policy should take, or you can listen to the words from our President:
"I think the basic concept that using Medical Marijuana in the same way, with the same controls, as other drugs prescribed by doctors... I think that's entirely appropriate."
This site won't let me post the video so instead you can do a search on youtube for "Obama on Medical Marijuana" and the first video should be the right one.
This "scammer" (his words) tries to scam the public by telling us that we are being scammed by those who want to legalize marijuana when, in fact, he is the one trying to scam us by telling us half-truths and outright lies. It's too late to scam us any more... We know who the scammer is... Mr. English (and of course the paper that prints his B/S without so much as a glance at the real facts). Shame Mr. English... shame.
Up till now I had no idea that I am a hedonist, I just thought I was a normal person who happens to smoke a little pot now and again. Well if I'm a hedonist then Mr. English must be terrorist becasue he certainly terrifies me.
