Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr says the policing of 'soft' drugs is a waste of police time, and that he would support their "effective decriminalisation".

I don't understand what he's saying exactly

Consider this:

""I don't believe a legalised drug regime can work, I'm opposed to that," Senator Carr said.

But then later the same day he states:

"But what I would like to see is the legalisation, the regulation - so it's not just supermarket stuff - the control and the taxation of drugs, much as we do with alcohol and nicotine at present."

He is soooo not a bigger headache for Gillard than Rudd was.

About.

Fucking.

Time.

So who's Bob Carr?

EDIT: Just watched the video. This is a step in the right direction at least, and he's very right.

The CIA would just get rid of any Australian government that seriously moved to decriminalize cannabis or anything else

That Bob Carr is a parachuted senator brought in to plug the foreign affairs expertise hole left by Rudd's resignation and that on matters of domestic policy his clout is diddly squat.

Somehow I doubt that was his driving point

 

[Lentern]

It will be now.

I support this. Marijuana should be legal to possess (although illegal to operate a motor vehicle or other tasks while under the influence etc similar to alcohol).

Umm no.

 

[Lentern]

Sentence fragment.

 

[Chemical Ali]

Umm no.

It's already happened before

Whitlam dismissal (too leftist)
Rudd (too close to china)

My point was that I hadn't heard of him before now, and so I'm skeptical as to how he's going to get this legislation through at all.

I can't vouch for any of the claims made, but this is pretty interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAC-wzco54E&feature=related

first minute based on complete and utter shit (from what i can tell it is based on research from non-peer reviewed articles in the Journal of the International Hemp Association)

SOME SCIENTISTS PROPOSE THAT MARIJUANA COULD HAVE OPENED THE DOOR TO GREATER CONSCIOUSNESS

shit video is shit

I disagree, it is probably the best documentary in the world.
