| 00:01:02 | ORG. HOST: HE IS THERE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO TALK ABOUT PROPOSITION 19 IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IF APPROVED WOULD ALLOW ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 21 WOULD BE ABLE TO POSSESS OVER 1 OUNCE OF CANNABIS. |
| 00:01:20 | GUEST: AFTER 74 YEARS, MARIJUANA PROHIBITION IS AN ABJECT FAILURE. |
| 00:01:25 | WE HAVE 20 MILLION ARRESTS CENTS IN 1965. |
| 00:01:29 | WE HAD 850,000 ARRESTS THIS YEAR. |
| 00:01:32 | 90% WILL BE FOR POSSESSION ON THE. |
| 00:01:37 | I AM 45 YEARS OLD. IN MY LIFETIME, THE GOVERNMENT SAID THEY SHOULD REDUCE TOBACCO SMOKING. |
| 00:01:44 | WITHOUT TAKING THE CONSTITUTION AND THEN GET INTO A PRETZEL, WE HAVE REDUCED SMOKING BY 50%. |
| 00:01:50 | WE DID NOT ARREST PEOPLE OR RACIALLY PROFILE. |
| 00:01:54 | WE DID NOT TAKE AWAY STUDENT LOANS. |
| 00:01:56 | WE DID ALL OF THESE IMPORTANT THINGS WITHOUT USING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE THEM. |
| 00:02:02 | A GOVERNMENT STATED GOAL, WHICH I THINK IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BASE OF OUR DISCUSSION, WITH TOBACCO, A DRUG THAT KILLS 400,000 PEOPLE PER YEAR, HIGHLY ADDICTIVE, UNLIKE MARIJUANA, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ACHIEVED THAT GOAL TO A LARGE DEGREE. |
| 00:02:18 | FOR THAT ANALYTICAL REASON ALONE LET ALONE AS A STAKEHOLDER, SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF, I DO NOT THINK I AM A CRITIC -- A CRIMINAL IF I USE MARIJUANA. |
| 00:02:28 | HOST: JOINING US FROM YOUR KIDS -- JOINING US FROM NEW YORK IS AS A HUTCHINSON. |
| 00:02:35 | HE SERVED AS THE DEA FROM 2001- 2003. |
| 00:02:40 | WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST PROPOSITION 19? |
| 00:02:46 | GUEST: I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE REDUCE THE USE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS SUCH AS MARIJUANA. |
| 00:02:54 | HISTORY TEACHES US THAT IF YOU LEGALIZE IT, THE U. |
| 00:02:59 | S. WILL GO UP. |
| 00:03:00 | I THINK IT IS A GREAT CONCERN TO ANYONE INVOLVED IN THE PUBLIC POLICY BUT ALSO AS A PARENT AND COMMUNITY LEADER. |
| 00:03:07 | TO PUT THIS IN CONTEXT, WHAT DROVE ME TO AMBI ON HERE TODAY WAS THE FACT THAT ALL FORMER ADMINISTRATORS OF THE DEA, NINE OF THEM JOINED TOGETHER AND THEY SERVE IN BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS ASKING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SAY VERY CLEARLY THAT HE WOULD OPPOSE AND THE ADMINISTRATION OPPOSES PROPOSITION 19 IN CALIFORNIA WHICH WOULD LEGALIZE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA. |
| 00:03:35 | ONE PRINCIPAL REASON IS BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE OUR COUNTRY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND IT WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LOSS OF THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA NEED TO KNOW, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY TAKE A STEP TO LEGALIZE THIS, IT IS STILL A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND WOULD STILL BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. |
| 00:03:54 | THE OBJECTIVE MAY BE TO RAISE TAX MONEYS, BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WOULD STILL BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. |
| 00:04:03 | HOST: YOU HAVE LAID OUT A LOT, MR. |
| 00:04:06 | HUTCHINSON. |
| 00:04:07 | THE FIRST THING THAT I WANT TO TOUCH ON, AND MR. |
| 00:04:11 | ST. PIERRE HAS TOUCHED ON THIS AS WELL, IS THE PARALLEL BETWEEN THE USE OF MARIJUANA AND THE USE OF ALCOHOL AND HOW IN THE 1920'S AD 1930'S THE PROHIBITION AGAINST THE ALCOHOL DID NOT WORK AND THAT THE MARIJUANA USE IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE SAME AND IT IS NOT WORKING THAT WELL. |
| 00:04:30 | YOUR THOUGHTS. |
| 00:04:34 | >> LET'S PUT THIS IN A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. |
| 00:04:37 | WE HAD THE HEIGHTS OF THE DRUG PROBLEMS IN OUR COUNTRY IN THE 1970'S AND THE 1980'S. |
| 00:04:44 | WE WANTED TO GO AFTER THE HUGE TRAFFICKING OF COCAINE AND MARIJUANA. |
| 00:04:50 | SINCE THE LATE 70'S. |
| 00:04:54 | -- SINCE THE LATE 1970'S, OVERALL DRUG USE HAS DECLINED 50%. |
| 00:04:59 | THAT ME STATE THAT. |
| 00:05:01 | OVERALL DRUG USE HAS DECLINED 50%. |
| 00:05:05 | IF THAT WAS A CRITERIA TO ANY OTHER SOCIAL PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A HUGE SUCCESS. |
| 00:05:13 | I THINK THE IDEA THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESS IN REDUCING A HARMFUL DRUG IN OUR COUNTRY AND IT IS USED BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ENGAGED IN EDUCATION, REHABILITATION, AND ENFORCEMENT, IS MISLEADING. |
| 00:05:28 | WE HAVE HAD SUCCESS. |
| 00:05:29 | WE WOULD GIVE UP ON THAT SUCCESS IF WE LEGALIZED ONE OF THOSE HARMFUL SUBSTANCES, WHICH WOULD BE MARIJUANA. |
| 00:05:40 | HOST: MR. |
| 00:05:41 | ST. |
| 00:05:42 | PIERRE, YOUR RESPONSE? |
| 00:05:44 | GUEST: TO THE SUCCESS THE KIND WE HAVE A FOR THE REDUCING OF THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE USING MARIJUANA? |
| 00:05:56 | DID WE ACHIEVE THAT? THE GOVERNMENT ASKED CHILDREN IF THEY USED MARIJUANA AND THEN THEY ASKED PEOPLE, |
