Jesse Ventura ‘Off The Grid: War On Drugs Vs Legalization Of Marijuana
“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.
According to a recently published report, the report states Jesse Ventura’s new online show “Off The Grid” presents the former governor’s thoughts on today’s current events. On the latest episode, the Governor follows the money trail to our broken criminal justice system and exposes why the “Land of the Free” has 2.2 million people in prison. That’s more people sitting behind bars than any other country in the world.
Jesse Ventura presented some alarming facts:
More than $51 Billion is spent each year on the War on Drugs
In 2012, police arrested 1 person every 42 seconds for marijuana possession
$64 Billion of taxpayer dollars were spent on the prison system last year
It costs taxpayers at least $31,000 per inmate per year
“We won’t raise the minimum wage, but we’re happy to throw you in jail for having a joint and pay you $31,000 a year instead of having you out working,” said Jesse Ventura. “Maybe you’re better off going to jail.”
“What does marijuana actually do to you? You can’t overdose on it. At the end of the day, you might gain a few pounds. You might have to work out harder the next day because you’re probably gonna be eating cheese puffs all night long,” Jesse Ventura said in jest.
