They will never learn prohibitions do not work. To bad the paper companies don't want hemp mass produced in the US, tossing them out of business.

I live in El Salvador and this idiotic war on drugs is destroying this country as well as the entire region. The newly elected Guatemalan president actually had the balls to talk about decriminalization almost immediately after taking office...of course that got the US all riled up. The Guatemalan President was discussing legalization with the other President's in the region but immediately Obummer sent Janet Napolitano down to "bend the arms" of our corrupt leaders. Within days, our Salvadoran president had stopped talking to Otto Perez (the Guatemalan president) and was now firmly pronouncing himself against the war on drugs.

At least the discourse continues in Guatemala even if it was completely squashed in the rest of the region. A few days ago the main Guatemalan paper wrote an article bashing the Salvadoran president for bending over to the US. We desperately need more leaders with balls to tell the US political mafia to go shove it.

Hopefully Ron will cite Guzman Loera at his speeches in California today and add that Loera has NOTHING to fear from making such a statement as Cenk points out in the video because the American public is so brain washed that Guzman Loera's statement will make no impression on them whatsoever.

In some speeches I've heard Ron cite the 40,000 murders in Mexico for which U.S. of American drug war supporters are responsible.

I'd also love to hear him bring up the severed head that was placed near the Hollywood sign. The head happened to be that of an L.A. former Mexicana Airline steward who had a very expensive art collection. Fortunately the LAPD has assured us that there are no suspects or clues and the Soccer Moms and Joe 6-Packs of Southern California need not trouble themselves to wonder anything about it now:

And of course, NONE of the 700 rich guys in front of Guzman Loera on Forbes' list are U.S. of American Drug Lords. Everybody knows there is no such thing:

Who is "they"?

I wonder why there is no mention of Clinton anywhere in the video... Are we to believe that clinton didn't continue the drug war?

With which face?.........Cocaine importer one day, anti drug legislator the next.

Who is "they"?

anyone supporting the failed drug war.

anyone supporting the failed drug war.

Then the statement is untrue. There are plenty of people that support the drug war knowing full well "prohibitions do not work"; because it puts money in their pocket.

Apparently a satire piece.

I had to search after reading "stinking rich." Didn't seem likely a billionaire king pin would say that.
