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.

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.

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.

1). Exactly.

2). I'm glad I'm not the only poster here smart enough to wonder WHY the pro drug agenda is DickTards white whale.
