Mick Jagger Explains Exactly Why Drugs Need to Be Legalized 

Wisdom Wissy He sounds like Mick Jagger

branaa09 funny that

JAGGER IS JAGGER !!!

Mick Is Mick

A man is as old as the woman he feels

Also, if drugs make you look like this at 70 then I'm going out right now to get me some heroin.

Kourtnee Sherman Which 'people'.."say"...that ? Anyway Jagger never took hard drugs. A bit of cocaine,weed and alcohol in very moderate doses. Jagger wouldn't say that ofcourse,because as the savvy businessman he is , he's still perpetuating The Stones' badboy image ,which worked wonders for them. It's mostly Richards who was into heavy dope.

+Wojciech Jankowski Keith was the heroin user, not Mick.

+Kourtnee Sherman What's fucked up about his face?? He's 70 years old and in incredibly good shape...that means he has very little excess facial fat, which causes a gaunt, hollowed-out look as the skin sags.

It's called aging

Thank goodness! I hate these celebrities who ruin their good looks thinking they are prolonging their youth, but aren't.

He's always been very handsome...

A lot of hair for his age though

Um,the topic is his opinion about drug's

I know people older than him that look so much better and haven't got any surgery done

The childrens of who?

That's "The children of whom?"@@pajodato5339

Seems a pretty nice affable guy as far as child trafficking pedos go 👍

What a beautiful anecdote. I have just discovered him - unfortunately - and what impresses me is how genuine and balanced he feels. He exudes joie de vivre but not in a superficial way. No platitudes from this man, but not irrelevant rebellion either. The more I watch the interviews which are available and his music, the more he grows in my appreciation.

Ross Martin I will honestly say I take all kind of drugs ranging from lsd to cocaine, MDMA to pills and I can honestly say it does no harm whatsoever when taken in proportion and when they are of good quality

No alcohol is good. Lots of rich cocksuckers are making lots of money off the alcoholics. Let's just ignore this horrible legal drink and focus on stuff that isn't as bad.

@@shaunvable You should say the same about coke and the big time drug dealers

Alcohol is for the stubborn, arrogant, Egoful. It is the worst depressive drug. Totally useless.

LMAOOOO

Best

@@DMBGirl1234 when people say they have a sense a humor most of the time they don’t have a sense of humor

@@DMBGirl1234 also are you automatically saying that old=ugly? You’re literally mad over nothing. Old doesn’t not equal ugly.

great comment

lol

Same!!

Hence why drugs are illegal. They aren’t giving up those huge budgets.

Bet it doesn’t, that’s just something people say,sounds good at the time.

Worked for Portugal

@@banjopete street gangs would go broke if drugs were legalized. crime would definetley go down.

@@fransmith8992 , apart from dopers stealing everything that is not bolted down you mean?

Yes exactly

Very

He’s a junky

He studied in the London School of Economics, he his a great eye for business, thats one of the reasons why The Stones are still here, packing venues and are the greatest and biggest Rock & Roll band in the World.

Well, ya have to be today. Lacking in many

I 'm hearin ya man!

💯

YES!!

Some people use drugs, some people use people that’s a great quote

best thing ive heard in a while. very very true

Only users lose drugs.

Very profound remark.

Yes I suppose !

Yes!!

Indeed he is. And so naturally courteous while dodging those attempts. Just manly in all.

Indeed....he's a very astute businessman....and an amazing entrepeneur.....who's still acting "Mick Jagger" today.... Without him "Keef"...would've been a petty thief,yet without Richards Jagger would've become a very successful but anonymous businessman...

@@PAULLONDEN mick was in the London school of economics, I'm sure he would've been fine

Well, you got it too

Did you listen to the interview? Have you heard of Lenny Bruce? Have you ever met a lawyer? Who in any business on earth doesn’t dabble?

@@CrisisWalkins I don't dabble.

@@hugolafhugolafnothing wrong with trying new things just once or twice, but more power to you, I guess.

He was 65 when this was filmed.

Probably a hairpiece.

It’s called a wig

Hair club for men, same with McCartney

Wiggins out

Damn. I bet their Christmas' are confusing

And he will inherit it all when they die.

London school of economics

@Sam Myers No he doesn't

I was just about to comment about the mess of 1967 lol

In the UK there is now a blanket ban on all things that can alter your mental state, barring those on an exempted list (first draft didn't include oxygen!). The same law was passed in Ireland several years earlier and it actually increased the use of so-called 'legal highs'. Theresa May knew this, as did all other MPs present, but they went ahead and did it anyway because it fits their idea of what should work. Truth is, the drugs are now unregulated, not taxed and all profits go to criminal organisations.

TheAndyroid Good golly you'll miss "Molly". The UK should see record incarceration shortly. I wasn't sure if the UK had privatized prison, but when you said a ban on everything I immediately thought, "I bet they have private sector prisons". Sure enough they do! There is an alarming correlation of legislation and imprisonment. Keep the prison manufacturers in steady supply of labor. Slavery is alive and well in western "civilization". Enslave as many people as you can and have them work for free producing products for corporations. We are living in an episode of Black Mirror. There is a blanket ban on all things that can alter your mental state! I suspect alcohol made the exempt list. The people of the UK should demand alcohol illegal as well. Ban everything and demonstrate the true nature of censorship. Force every politician to state that alcohol DOES NOT alter ones mental state. If they say it does, force them to prohibit it. Pick one or the other. Colorado is becoming the new "New" Amsterdam. The more the world starts clamping down the more traffic and money Colorado is going to make. Too bad for the UK, gun violence will be on the rise substantially now. Of course the media will blame that on drugs, not legislation. See US for details. Good luck

Booze do!, and it's legal, don't you wonder why they sell it and not the rest?. Alcohol, the most dangerous drug!.

It's such a equivocal question and I became addicted to opiates after an injury and being prescribed too much which led to me crossing the line of heroin /addiction and eventually being busted which actually led to me being clean for 7 years now- and honestly I occasionally think about drugs but I'm much more together and happy without them.

ML8593wy legalize it, and tax the fuck out of it! And that's coming from someone who has almost never smoked it!

+Straylight100 Very well said. You can't legislate vice away. They tried that with alcohol back in the twenties, and it was an unmitigated failure that made criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens overnight. Hypocrisy writ large.

***** You have schooled me! I bow in your presence oh great one!

Does that go for alcohol too? Whatever tax placed on cannabis, alcohol should receive double the amount. Merit alone can demonstrate that alcohol has a greater negative effect on society versus cannabis. By the way, an excessive excise tax will only keep the illegal and deadly crime syndicates in business. So I guess secretly heavy taxation is code for supporting criminal cartels.

Taxation should be scaled on an actual level of social harm. Tobacco should have the highest taxation, then firearms, and alcohol. The CDC data shows 29,000 deaths annually from alcohol. 33,636 from firearms, 31,000 from falling, 34,000 from cars, 480,000 tobacco. 0 for cannabis. Hmmm, pretty easy to see how to scale the tax bracket for some of these items. Falling should still be free though. "Taxing the fuck out of it" guy is clueless. Still stuck in 80's ideology, loving the Marlboro Man, This Buds for you, Solo Cups, and Ronald Reagan. You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind.--TL

+irishelk What do you mean by "more credit"? He's on top of the world anyway!

Andy Mangele Yeah i suppose so.

Yeah kids, dont do marinara

Well, Mick Jagger was hardly responsible for the "War on Drugs". Blame Richard Nixon's generation for that. Mick's generation accepted that drugs were illegal but took the risk to use them. As their use of drugs became more public and the consequences became to seem unfair, people began to question why drugs were illegal. However, it took the crack epidemic and the unjust administration and the hypocrisy of drugs laws for the current generation to really press for legalisation. It remains to be seen if all drugs will be made legal. It makes good sense to do so. The DEA is the most failed government agency in U.S. history. It has received tens of billions of dollars for the "War on Drugs" and the DEA has botched it horribly. Just give people objective and fair information about the consequences of taking any drug and let them decide for themselves. Most people will probably opt not to take drugs. But, if they do, at least keep it as a public health problem and not a criminal problem.

+Peter M. Adamson Mick has always been extremely professional and in control. I'm sure he used plenty of cocaine socially in the '70s and '80s, but he never got into the junkie/upper/downer lifestyle. That's really what killed off so many rockers in the '70s.

The penalisation of drugs is the dumbest fucking thing. More people die as casualities of the unnecessary drug war than from taking them.

His comments are on point.

***** nobody ask for intelligence here

Ron Townsend Clearly you never asked for it anyway...

Ron Townsend "Nobody ask for intelligence here" And that is why RU-vid comments are notorious for being horribly STUPID.

Henry J. Anslinger. NO SHIT.

Unless, Jimmy David, those people begin to be a problem in that they can no longer afford their fix, and because they do not wish to go through a withdraw they start to steal from others to get what they need. Unfortunately this seems to become a big problem. If it were not a problem I suppose no one would really give a shit who does what. But no one likes to walk down a public street and be pan handled aggressively, or robbed, or have to see homeless addicts sleeping or standing in a nod on the sidewalk or middle of the street. Who pays for those people? Who has to fix them when they can't fix themselves. All of that gets quite expensive. I mean I agree with you regarding the basic premise of what you are saying but have you ever walked through a park and seen 10 or 15 illegal aliens huffing gasoline or solvents? Why do they do it? Sometimes I think that what would be best is if they researched looking for the perfect euphoric drug and legalized it, maybe its already here in Marijuana, but even that becomes a problem for people. The flip side of those who like to get together with friends twice a year and do lines of good coke are those that immediately start shooting it, daily , and robbing others to get it, loose everything they have and wind up in the gutter begging for a crack rock. Now someone has to pay to scoop them out of the gutter, jail them, feed them, rehabilitate them, etc etc again and again.
