You can legaize it but illegalize advertizing for drugs. Convincing people to do drugs is wrong, using snd selling(with full consent and liability acception/reccomnded harm reduction purposes, honest selling, and ) is not. People have the right to do sctions taht are consensual.
I want to hear their talk about how weed is moving to schedule 3, and how the having regulations isn't directly bad but the top 3 largest companies that sell canibis were the ones who helped craft the laws in their favor, I think if we basically treated weed like alcohol we'd fix alot of issues, but I see that the leagal roots that caibis is built on is just corrupt even tho it's brand new and making it schedule 3 probably won't change much and may possibly be the reason to tighten restrictions
As someone who has worked in black, grey and legal cannabis – The legalization scheme keeps the money away from the criminals, smugglers and gangs. Who else is gonna come up with $150k cash for a duffle bag of illegal substance?
Wow, this is very good. As someone who enjoys using weed myself, I'm 100% for legalization, however I think Will's points in this debate are really well made. Even though I still do not agree with him that cannabis should remain illegal, I do think that giving huge companies the monopoly of weed might be a real problem going forward and any attempt to legalize marijuana should come with great public policies that also minimize risk to users and society as a whole.
Great points, Will. Why don’t you bring those to the alcohol industry first considering the amount of deaths directly caused by it on a DAILY basis, but let’s make sure that’s in almost every store.
The way the disposible vape industry in the UK, in just a few short years, has caused a large percentage of the youth to become completley addicted to nicotine should serve as a warning. Alcohol and Tobacco are bad enough, putting another drug in the hands of consumer-facing companies is a horrible idea. It will cause relentless marketing campaigns that will create far more addiction and substance dependancy in the population. Pretending weed is not a serious drug, or that putting it in the hands of businesses will lead to prosperity in marginilised communities is a delusional dream. I absolutley stand by Will on this issue.
When weed was just decriminalized in Oregon, I was transporting my collection of pipes and bongs from a friends home to my own home, I was pulled over(by was out of weed) the cops made me destroy all my pieces. Decriminalized is not enough.

I feel like we’re moving away from the main point of legalising weed. We forget that it causes harm, it’s a drug so it should not be legalised
i love these two intellects, arguments were well explained and it was a healthy conversation unlike politics hahaha!

Legalization is the only correct one.
Denial of Reality is Not A Solution for Anything! Legalization & Monitoring is!
This is lowkey a brilliant way to debate
loved this video
LEGALIZE IT!
i want a re-up of this same video in a couple years. would be interesting to see how things have changed.
This is one of my favorite debates I've ever seen
beautiful format!!! that much greater than just a basic debate podcast without rules

this is so insanely healthy
Seemed like a good conversation until it switched to race.

Stopping at decriminalization is literally just protecting the black market and all the dangers that come from dealing in it.
Is weed not legal?
Will did a terrible job.

Vox and fact check don’t belong together
I was actually heavy aligned with legalization, but Will made excellent points for decriminalization.

I have issue with the phrasing around the statement that “81% of cannabis business owners are white”
Yes this is true, but it is also true that in 2024 68% of the population is white.
There is an imbalance in the ethnic distribution, but that is only by 10%.
The fact as stated makes it seem much more.
That was an amazing debate
What a great format! This is exactly what is needed at this current time.
love these two debaters
What a great format I hope it makes comebacks

It's odd to not show a clip of them shaking hands afterwards. Just a thought for future episodes. Otherwise, this was great!
Does Will know about the German Decriminalisation? I think he'd like that
Marijuana is medicine. It needs to be legalized and regulated.

A fact based debate??? in 2024?? daring arent we…
"something new" you mean a formal debate?
No one will see this but I would love to see this again so many changes on the laws and the worlds view on weed
This is awesome. Independent infotainment ftw!
