?? Why??

I started smoking pot when I was about 12 years old.
When I was 14 and 15 I got high every day and went to school stoned as fuck. 700 to 800 consecutive days of getting high. By age 18 I graduated at the top of my class (THE TOP, best grades in entire class of 1000 students). I partied and had a great time.....got scholarships to uni and now have several graduate degrees.

Cannabis won't destroy their intellect.

?? Why??

Because 'we' are not going to 'win' the war that way. It just plays into the hands of the wankers who want to scare the 'dont knows' by suggesting 'we' want to turn kids into a bunch of lazy potheads walking around stoned all day.

Put it this way: if booze was illegal do you think it would help to legalise it by suggesting its so good that kids should have a nip before school?

He pissed on his chips with that statement

I watched most of clip....to be honest, I found it little dull.

Also, seeing teachers (the poorest paid and least supported alleged members of the "establishment") as the bad guy is a bullshit whiny entitlement attitude.

Luckily, when i was in highschool, our teachers treated us like adults. If we didn't want to be there then we could fuck off. Due, somewhat to that attitude, I actually wanted to learn. Most of my buddies were the fuck off variety ...to each their own.

I guess, in Canada, we have already "won" the war, so maybe we can say more supposedly controversial things?
I know when I lived in the uk, the media (tabloids, in particular) often portray cannabis as a dangerous drug. Whilst simultaneously selling adverts for,some,of deadliest drugs of all tobacco and booze?...irony no?
