That video brings back a lot of memories.


I liked Pek in this one:

Nobody made more money per minute played than Pek. This is anecdotal but it has to be true, right?

I'd guess Brandon Roy has him beat in terms of Timberwolves players. Lol

All drugs should be decriminalized. The U.S. imprisons the HIGHEST percentage of people in the entire world. That is the worst, 197th of 197 countries.

Drugs are not the problem, it's an excuse to lock up poor people and minorities for years and ruin their lives. You might not know the most prisons are privatized and for profit corporations. Putting people in prison is big business.

The only drug that should be decriminalized is weed. Decriminalizing hardcore drugs that literally ruin lives due to addiction and side effects is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.

I'm starting to think you might be on something... Not on to something, but like actually on drugs. Some of your takes unrelated to basketball make my jaw drop.

Just because let's say heroin is "legal" it doesn't mean you would do it would you? If you want to do some heroin I'm sure you could find some tonight if you tried hard enough. It's not wether something is legal or not as to why you do or don't do something. Look at how many 10's of millions of people smoke weed? It's a schedule 1 drug by the Federal GOV. Yet it's on every street in America.

The War on Drugs was really a War on the Poor and Minorities. The goal was to ruin the lives of poor and minorities and to put them in prison. Look at the direct contradiction in the sentencing between Crack and Cocaine. Crack had, maybe still has much more severe penalties yet what is crack? Crack is simply Cocaine cut with Baking soda. It's the exact same thing but the target was blacks, minorities and poor people. These are facts many do not understand.

Then we have the for profit prison system. They make money by imprisoning people. Same with the police force and the court system. They are incentivized to put people away for silly drug sales or possessions.

Portugal a couple years ago decriminalized all drugs, not only that they give away hard drugs to addicts for free along with pamphlets for treatment facilities and clean needles. So now these addicts are not going around and stealing to fund their addictions. The crime rate got cut in half immediately. Less people in prisons, less things being stolen, less taxes going to prisons, less court costs.
