It turns out that a lot of accomplished, well-respected historical figures did drugs. From Winston Churchill taking amphetamines to Thomas Edison lacing his wine with cocaine, not everyone who uses narcotics is a hopeless basket case living in a dumpster. While some drug users spiral into addiction and crime, others go on to become president. It's time to debunk the age old stereotypes of the back alley dangerous dealer or the lazy stoner when, according to the National Survey on Drug Use, roughly half of all Americans have tried an illegal drug.

In the latest "Mostly Weekly" host Andrew Heaton breaks down the cartoonish Drug Warrior portrayal of drugs by showing some of the beloved historical figures who used them, including:

GI, you are absolutely RIGHT on this issue. POINT-BY-POINT. This is...propaganda.

Hitler, Goering and others within his circle were drug-addled and/or homos/pedophiles while Hitler's original Brownshirt Enforcers were HOMOS.

In his drug-induced haze Hitler took away Germans' guns. This whole weed obsession is about the Elites moving Americans' focus ELSEWHERE, a red herring. In reading article after article on legalizing pot (as the coup against Trump continues, and the nation is inches away from CW2), you'd think the Republic would fall apart without legalizing it.

For the record I support medicinal marijuana. Recreationally, it's a menace because it will be abused AND because it is a de-motivator.

I have been convinced that the intent of this pro-Weed crusade/obsession is nothing but an attempt by the Elites to anesthetize and numb the coming generation while weakening their resolve and opposition to what's coming down the pike: FASCIST NWO POLICIES.

Of ALL hills to die on; of ALL crusades to fight; of ALL political policies to get pissed off about -- THIS one makes a difference??

Freaking NWO Elite fascists, Commies and Anarchists are doing all they can to create CW2, divide the nation and world as millions of Muzzies, Mexicans, and Third World shit-hole saboteurs given carte blanche to invade and destroy a Republic. Guys who served are STILL paying off that tab in personal blood, sacrifice...and life. But somehow the discussion of legalizing pot supposedly "liberates" America?

Insane.

If the plan by the elites is to "anesthetize and numb the coming generation", wouldn't it be more logical for them to go all in on drug legalization? I mean - they are the ones who appear to be fighting the trend of more liberal drug laws.

Of course the real damage is being caused by Big Pharma psychotropic drugs that are being doled out to kids for any and every mental imperfection - that's where the real brainwashing starts.

Could it be that in many cases, substances like cannabis have the opposite effect and actually increase the overall awareness of citizens to the ongoing the machinations of the NWO? Maybe the tendency of many cannabis smokers to "question authority" is what they don't want to see happen on a more massive scale. I don't know - possibly. Just a thought.

I know that is true in my case - when I see that fed.gov consistently lies about cannabis, it naturally makes me question the official government narrative on all other issues. I'm sure millions of others have come to the same conclusion that TPTB are in a continuous propaganda and disinformation war with its own citizens on a daily basis.

I have made my own reasons for an end to the drug war abundantly clear on this site as well as on LP.

As I posted above, cannabis legalization alone would be a huge boost for the economy. Some of that money could be channeled into programs to actually help those who DO have addictions and desperately want to clean up their act.

People are going to use drugs whether they are legal or not - and I don't foresee any of the ones who currently are so vehemently opposed to them now going out and score some heroin if it becomes legal.

The Elites have already weakened the resolve and opposition of the current generation. I believe that probably 90% of those under the age of 35 have been indoctrinated beyond hope - the public school system and the constant barrage of propaganda disseminated by the Mockingbird media have already done irreparable damage. Short of a mass awakening - these kids will be obedient slaves to the coming NWO government. Those younger than 25 who have been computer-dependent all of their lives will be first in line to take the mark of the beast.

Yes, your presumption that a more deliberate agenda is a logical conclusion...that this is happening organically...

I don't believe that's the case here.

The NWO elites can't make their agenda so obvious. Isn't it strange that of ALL Presidencies the Elites decide to accelerate their move to legalize weed and make it some kind of crusade while Trump was elected?? Don't you find that odd?

Of course the real damage is being caused by Big Pharma psychotropic drugs that are being doled out to kids for any and every mental imperfection - that's where the real brainwashing starts.

Agree 110%. All these vaccines are tainted. You've noticed how flu-shots are touted a FREE? (But nothing else.)

Could it be that in many cases, substances like cannabis have the opposite effect and actually increase the overall awareness of citizens to the ongoing the machinations of the NWO? Maybe the tendency of many cannabis smokers to "question authority" is what they don't want to see happen on a more massive scale. I don't know - possibly. Just a thought.

Yes. In some cases I agree that it may help clarify overall awareness and enlightenment of their own NWO "slavery" and mental bondage. You and I and many here would have had exactly that type of convo. Unfortunately, the vast number of tokers would be anesthetized and numbed. And probably watch MSNBC while lighting up.

Look -- I know where you're coming from. And I agree with your reasoning in large part. But the equation has shifted. And so has the risk. We have a vast number of clinical nutcases, mentally unstable people and lunatics in this country. 95% of them on the Left. And many of the intelligent ones of college age for whom the die maybe cast forever. Won't toking only make them MORE psychotic?

I agree. The situation is potentially quite dire. However I believe that 90% would/could be reduced to 65-70% -- enough to provide much needed opposition....IF they don't take the bait and get bogged down with inevitable depression, despair, hopelessness, laziness and paranoia -- the eventual aftermath of chronic pot smoking for most. Yes, yes -- I realize there are exceptions.

I don't think this is the time to open up the floodgates for weed stores and a generation of paid parasitic zombies who will be useless for our side when the SHTF.

Not really - it accelerated during Obama's reign, and Trump himself has indicated his support of states to make their own decisions concerning legalizing cannabis and maintaining a fed.gov hands-off policy.

I do believe that this is an organic, grass-roots movement - I'd like to believe that many of those in favor are aware of the 10th Amendment issues involved and will support individual state's rights in other aspects of their lives as well.

The fact that there is obvious disconnect between Trump's stated views and the recent edicts by his Attorney General leads me to believe that there is a major disagreement on what policy to take going forward. I believe Trump has criticized Sessions on other decisions, so maybe a show-down is brewing on the horizon.

Unfortunately, the vast number of tokers would be anesthetized and numbed. And probably watch MSNBC while lighting up.

My belief is that a person's political views are not dependent on whether or not they currently use cannabis - those same folks would be watching MSNBC whether they were high or not. I'm sure there are plenty of conservative folks who watch FOX News (not that they are any less of a controlled propaganda organization even though they do make an effort to appear to be) smoke reefer. The issue has decidedly become a bi-partisan one.

We have a vast number of clinical nutcases, mentally unstable people and lunatics in this country. 95% of them on the Left.

Yes we do - however to suggest that all of them are that way due to drug use is not really accurate.

And many of the intelligent ones of college age for whom the die maybe cast forever. Won't toking only make them MORE psychotic?

Well, my point is that the so-called "intelligent" ones have already taken the Blue Pill and have figuratively sold out to the NWO. The intelligent ones (those who receive the highest grades) are those who greedily drink the PC kool-aid being dispensed and march in lock-step with whatever globalist swill is foisted upon them

Then they become teachers themselves and then pass along their warped views to the next generation.

...a generation of paid parasitic zombies who will be useless for our side when the SHTF.

Plenty of outstanding, weed-smoking Patriots and Veterans may have the opportunity to prove you wrong.

In my experience, those who have the most radical views on gun ownership are the ones who are in favor of states making their own decisions about legalizing cannabis.

****

One more thing - a government that has the power to decide what substances you are allowed to take is a government powerful enough to tell you what drugs you must take.

When fed.gov declares that everyone MUST smoke cannabis, that's the time to start worrying.
