CRITICS BLASTING ORGAN
EXPERIMENTS.
IT’S BEEN 19 MONTHS AND
SUPPORTERS DECRIMINALIZING DECRI
SMALL AMOUNTS OF HEROIN,
METHAMPHETAMINE.
IT PAINTS A BLEAK PICTURE.
DRUG OVERDOSE DEATH HITTING AN
ALL-TIME HIGH IN AUGUST LAST
YEAR WITH 1,069.
JUDGE, AFTER THE END OF THIS?
I’M SPEECHLESS.
BECAUSE YOU’RE NEVER SPEECHLESS.
>> I AM SPEECHLESS.
BECAUSE NOW YOU’RE GOING TO
TALK.
>> SO HERE’S THE THING, FOR
ANYONE TO THINK THAT YOU CAN
MAKE -- YOU CAN DECRIMINALIZE
DRUGS, ALL DRUG, METH, AND IN
FENTON, COCAINE, HEROIN, NO
PROBLEM, AND IF THEY COME ACROSS
A COP, A COUPLE GAVE THEM A
TICKET, A TRAFFIC TICKET WITH
$100 FINE, BUT THEN I HAVE TO
PAY THE FINE IF THEY CALL A
HOTLINE FOR HELP.
I WANT TO SHARE ONE STORY AND
THEN I’M GOING TO END.
I WAS A NARCOTICS JUDGE, BRADLEY
ON THE BENCH.
I’M IN THE NARCOTICS BAR AND
EASY TO SOME YOUNG KID, "LOOK,
I’M GOING TO SEND YOU TO DEAL
FOR A YEAR, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE A
NICE KIDS I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU
A CHOICE.
I’M GOING TO SEND YOU TO REHAB
FOR SIX MONTHS TO JAIL FOR A
YEAR.
MORE DETAILS?"
YOU KNOW DETAILS?
JAIL.
HE DIDN’T WANT TO GET BETTER. HE LIKED DRUGS.
HE LIKED DRUGS.
HE DIDN’T WANT --
EATERIES OF DAN SPRINGER DID
THIS OR THE OTHER DAY FOR AS A
NEWSROOM IN THE VIDEO FOR ME
WERE SHOCKING.
I WAS FORTUNATE -- MAYBE
FORTUNATE, I DON’T KNOW.
BUT JUST SAY NO BUT FOR ME.
SEEING YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS, THE
EGG FRYING IN THE PAN, I WAS
LIKE -- AND I WAS ALSO TERRIFIED
OF GETTING IN TROUBLE.
I STILL AM.
SO I NEVER HAVE TRIED THEM.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO
BE ON THEM.
IT CLEARLY IS DOING SOMETHING TO
PEOPLE’S BRAINS, AND IT’S
WORKING FAMILIES, TO MAKING
COMMUNITIES IN SOME PLACES.
NOW, GREG HAS MADE THE CASE FOR
YEARS ABOUT LEGALIZATION AND I
WAS INTO THAT AND I GET RIGHT UP
TO THE LINE AND I THINK MAYBE IT
WILL WORK, BUT THEN I’M LIKE A
GOD, BUT WHAT IF NOT.
THEN I WATCH THE WIRE.
YOU SEE THAT EPISODE OR THAT
REASON WHY THEY MAKE IT LEGAL
THEN IT ALL FALLS APART IN THE
END.
I’M FOR THE EXPERIMENTATION, I
GUESS, BUT THEN I LOOK AT THE
RESULT AND I DON’T KNOW TO DO
ABOUT IT.
IT FEELS LIKE THE CRACK
EPIDEMIC, BUT THEN I THINK WE
HAVE THE CRACK EPIDEMIC BECAUSE
THINGS WEREN’T LEGAL.
I DON’T KNOW.
>> IT’S LIKE THIS IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL
ILLEGAL.
THE ARGUMENT AGAINST -- LET ME
PUT IT THIS WAY.
ALL OF THESE POISONINGS ARE
STRAIGHT CONCOCTIONS.
WE ALWAYS SAY IT’S OPIATES, BUT
IT TOXIC POISON, IT’S STRAIGHT
FENTANYL.
THIS IS NOT PRESCRIPTION STUFF.
I FEEL IS ON THE RESTRICTIONS ON
PRESCRIPTION, YOU WILL SAVE
LIVES.
WE’VE SEEN THUS, AT 100 -- 1,000
PEOPLE DYING.
THAT MORE PEOPLE DYING IN
UKRAINE BY RUSSIANS.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS WITH THE
COVER-UP OF THE CAUSE OF
OVERDOSE DEATH, WE JUST -- THE
AUTOPSIES WERE JUST A IT
COCKTAIL OF DRUGS OR ITS
OPIOIDS.
BUT ADJUSTING A MAN JUMPING OFF
A CLIFF, THE DEATH CERTIFICATE
IS GRAVITY.
IT’S A LEGAL STRAIGHT FENTANYL.
BY DOING THE SAME THING WITH
GHOST GUNS AND LAW-ABIDING GUN.
WERE PUNISHING THE LAW-ABIDING
USER BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE
USING ILLEGALLY.
IT’S THE SAME THING WITH GUNS
THAT WERE DOING A DRUG.
LOWER THE RATE REDUCTIONS, MAKE
IT IS EASY.
THE STUFF WAS WHEN WE SAY
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES.
BECAUSE I AM NOT BUYING THIS
LIBERTARIAN MUMBO-JUMBO.
A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
LIBERTARIANISM GONE WRONG.
GREG HAS BEEN SINGING THE SONG
EVER SINCE I CAME ON THE FIVE.
LEGALIZE DRUGS, LEGALIZED
ROBERTS, DECRIMINALIZE IT.
THEY DID IT.
ORGANIZE OREGON LISTEN TO GET
REAL.
NOW LOOK AT ORGAN.
EVERYONE IS DEAD.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
LISTEN TO GREG.
THEY ARE ON THE STREETS, THE
REJECTED, NOT JUST FENTANYL,
TARRANT, TO METH, TO EVERYTHING.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR
ANSWERS.
>> Greg: WHAT I’M SAYING
SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY USING A SAFE
DRUG, THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN.
BUT THE POINT IS PUSHING PEOPLE
OF DEALS --
>>>> IS NOW IN A SAFE DRUG?
>> PEOPLE ACTUALLY TAKE HEROIN.
YES.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT FENTANYL
IS ACTUALLY A DRUG THAT IS
PRESCRIBED?
ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT?
>> YOU ARE WRONG.
YOU ARE WRONG.
>> AMPHETAMINES -- HAVE YOU
EVER -- THOSE ARE PRESCRIPTION
AMPHETAMINES.
>> OKAY.
>> I’M RIGHT, I’M SORRY.
YOU DON’T GREG SAYS, I DON’T GET
THE FROM CHINA.
THEY COULD JUST BUY IT ON THE
STREET CORNER IN HARLEM, YOU’LL
BE FINE.
THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING, THEY
DIED.
>> UP NEXT, TOM HANKS UNLEASHED.
