Do me the courtesy of watching the video and telling me what you think. Then I will take a little time and try to address your questions (which would probably be better addressed in another thread).

I checked it out. There are definitely some interesting points. I think that there are some logical problems with some of their examples though.

They said, paraphrasing:
In 19xx 1.3% of the population was addicted to drugs. Then the US cracked down and made them illegal and started the War on Drugs and spent billions. Many years later there is still 1.3% of the population addicted to drugs.

The problem is that if they weren't made illegal then maybe 5% of people would be addicted to drugs now.

Anyways, for what it's worth I think that marijuana should be legalized, but not the more dangerous drugs. Also I'm a weed user, so that explains the bias, but it also seems like a fairly harmless drug compared to some other legal ones.
