@RavenMad101 no i don't drink and never have. i think booze and drugs are really stupid. you have to be either stupid or weak to get involved with that crap
@RKKILLER16 Hate to break it to you but your wrong, marijuana is illegal because of Willian Randolf Hertz, who owned multple printing presses and newspaper companies, since hemp was starting to take over the paper industry he started printing made up stories about "MARIJUANA" like reefer madness, once illegal he had no competition and got rich, its wasnt until Nixon's "war on drugs" campain that put marijuana as a.schedule 1 drug, yes the government grows it theyve been doing it in colleges 4eva
You wanna know why is it really iligal? It's so freaking simple, the goverment traffics it(or grow it), lot easier for them since they can't do it without any of us noticing, how cheap do you think weed would be if they make it legal, the prices would hardly decrease and the goverment would loose a lot of money, might sound unfair but it's the truth(by the way I'm not a hippie or anything like that)
@TheDievil6 I wonder if black people should've followed that advice and stayed at the back of the bus. Some laws are unjust and don't merit punishment for breaking them.
It is obvious that marijuana should be legal, but then the government would lose their power over a very large percentage of the country's population. It's all about power and control. I feel so bad for the Hoffman's.
Spread the word on Ron Paul! Call your local headshops and tell them to advertize the guy running for president who whants to legalize weed! Switch to Republican 3 months before the primary so you can vote him into lead canidate!
if the people she was buying her cannabis from were selling cocaine ecstacy and fire-arms she should have known not to buy from them. These kind of people deserve to be in jail, espescially if they are murders as well as drug dealers. Legalize marijuana and take it out of the hands of such criminals. Legalize cannabis and use the plant to its full potential.
This happens everyday to blacks, latinos, and other races. Yet, it never gets on the news. Don't get me wrong this story is sad but the fact that it takes a white woman to make people understand how stupid the laws for pot are then the media needs a reality check. Weed should be decriminalized at least and it will be but legalization probably won't happen as much as I want it to. There are conflicting studies on marijuana which is why I say that.
@NenaBoo121991 not once in my 30 years on this planet have i said " i sure am glad the cops are here". all cops ever seem to do is fill out reports. the majority of the people they arrest are for victimless crimes.
I bet all those cops and DEA agents who preach against the dangers of marijuana probably go out every weekend with their buddies to the bars and get shit faced and still have the nerve to tell you to say no to drugs.
I'd take weed over alcohol and tobacco ANYDAY! Personally, I don't know how anyone could enjoy alcohol. I'll have a beer once in a blue moon, but any alcoholic drink tastes like rubbing alcohol.
sad story! but the truth is she was a snich and a traitor. You dont burn someone to save your own ass. That makes you no better than the DEA scum bags that did this shit to her from what I consider to be less of a crime than littering.
- Penalties against possession of any drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed! -
@CurtisIJM I'd take it a step further: Penalties for the possession of any drug should reflect the amount of harm that the act of possessing the drug causes society. Whether a person is in possession of cookies or marijuana makes no difference, the direct result of them possessing those things is the same: no harm is caused to other individuals. Moralizing based on hypotheticals, rhetoric, and anecdotes would have us criminalize cookie distribution as intent to cause diabetes.
@paradigmentropy In this libertarian society of yours If I wanted to save money for my health every-time I eat something unhealthy or did something unhealthy then I could do all this Economically with my money by choice without any need for a big government actually it's better for me If my money was saved instead of spent all the time on government pork belly projects like keeping potheads in jail.
@QPWimblik Hmm, I'm not sure if you were agreeing with me or disagreeing because the tone wasn't clear in my previous comment. In either case, it appears that we both agree that our government has grown out of control and needs to be less involved in our lives.
I agree, but its not just prohibition of marijuana, it is prohibition of all drugs, and of all victimles crimes, such as gambling prostitution, polygamy, that corrupt law enforcement, unjustly imprison, fine and punish people, that is not only not working but costing millions
How dare the police take an untrained person and coerce her into approaching hardcore drug dealers...and gee she got killed, how could they not see that coming those idiots
and if you think this is propaganda you are dumb why would they want to expose the drug war for what is really is, killing and affecting good people fighting a cause that is a waste of time drugs are not going to go away so the only logical thing to do is keep them CONTROLLED so police arent fucking around like this while REAL crimes are being commited, for it to accaully be a crime there has to be a victim. they are out getting tennagers killed while rapists and murders are about.
weed is a legitimate medication and this girl was killed because marijuana was made illegal for economic reasons and kept illegal to protect the money being made from pharmaceutical alcohol and cigarette companies which would lose money if it was legalized. So basicly this young girl was killed becasue a herb or "substance" that is harmless is made a criminal act becasue of reasons totally related to somethign else, look at the legal substances that we have. doesnt make sense
@prozak169 Eh...Actually, she wasn't only carrying marijuana. She had tons of ecstasy, too. Not to mention, if you know the whole story, then you would know that she only got probation the first time she was caught with marijuana. The second time, someone snitched on her, and then the cops raided her apartment to find marijuana and ecstasy...Translation: This is not an ideal story for pot heads to rally behind.
@starbobpizza just because someone smokes pot doesnt mean they condone the use of hard drugs the point is cops should be focusing on crimes that actually effect others instead of putting users at risk just to catch dealers for a victim-less crime. if she lived in a state that was more tolerant of pot she would have gotten a ticket but because she had the ecstasy it wouldn't have mattered, so yes i guess it is more hard drugs that led to what happened but w/ FL's harsh weed laws you never know
@prozak169 You don't understand, she was given probation the first time around. However, the 2nd time, she was caught again. I wouldn't be crying over a drug dealer getting caught. If it was just weed, then obviously that would be different. Still, she was given a chance, and she blew it.
@starbobpizza uhh re-read my comment , thats what i siad, it was hard drugs that led to what happened but FL does have harsh weed laws i just wanted to point that out. Where in my post do i "cry over the dealers gettting caught" i was saying they are putting the users at risk to catch the dealers and that not their job , their job is to catch the dealer themselves not use others to do their job. you are the one who doesn't understand.
@prozak169 Florida is not any worse than Texas or Oklahoma. This happens to blacks and latinos all the time, so this really isn't a big deal. It's a tough job for cops, and to use an "informant" is the perfect decoy.
@starbobpizza people dying for a victim-less crime is no big deal just because they are black or mexican? go turn on your favorite toby kieth song you ignorant redneck. The drug war has failure written all over , time to try a different approach because obviously it isn't working
@prozak169 I meant that this sole case of misfortune wasn't an issue, SINCE this happens to blacks and latinos all the time. The media using a white girl...Nice. By the way, only rednecks smoke the Devil's Weed, and you know it.
@brebsss Just look up the Federal Register Volume 21 2001, noob! There have been reported deaths from marijuana, albeit not as much as aspirin. I would rather my country be 1/3 redneck than 1/3 hippie! The devil's weed is tempting, because it is the gateway to other drugs...Noob!
@starbobpizza I did look it up, it had no mention of anything relating to deaths associated with marijuana. There HAS NEVER been a recorded death, marijuana smokers are just as likely to live as long as non-Msmokers. gateway drug is a term that hasn't been used in 50 years, because it is completely false. Most people start drinking coffee as a precursor to heroin. does that make coffee a gateway drug to heroin? Millions smoke weed and nothing else, I suggest you do some research yourself, noob.
@brebsss (2 Continued... Sorry I gave you the wrong volume. Check part one to see the volume.
Now, time to put these pot heads in their place... "According to 1999 DAWN data, there were 187 deaths where marijuana was the only drug reported, out of the total 664 medical examiners episodes involving marijuana in 1999."
(DAWN is a national public health surveillance system that monitors trends in drug deaths investigated by medical examiners and coroners).
@starbobpizza You're completely misconstrued, and you've just made that quote up, it doesn't exist.
"The DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young concluded: "In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.""

? Lazy pothead. Do YOUR research :D By the way, the THC levels have risen since the 80's >> He is the former* administrative law judge, probably kicked out for making that fallacy. Try again!
@starbobpizza Google: Dr. Robert Melamede or Dr. Rick Simpson. Watch "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High" or "American Drug War".
THC kills cancer. This has been proven in multiple, repeatable studies. Learn a little bit before you go off on rants about things that you know nothing about.
"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -Albert Einstein
"THC is Antimitogenic or Antiproliferative (inhibits Cancer cell division), Antiangiogenic (inhibits the growth of new blood vessels in Cancers), Proapototic (encourages old cell death before mutating then leading to Cancers) & Antitumoral (counteracting or preventing the formation of malignant tumors; anticancer). Those appear to be the mechanisms that might account for these Antitumoral effects of THC."
@mamaloney1 But caffeine didn't tempt you into using hard drugs, but marijuana obviously does due to how quickly you can develop a tolerance to it. Nice try, though.
@starbobpizza Actually, I am not tempted to use hard drugs. I am open to the same drugs that I was open to before I started using cannabis. (Cannabinoids, LSD, Psilocybin, and unrefined opiates.)
And what you are saying about tolerance isn't true. You won't build any real tolerance unless you smoke everyday for an extended period of time. Even then, your tolerance is easily remedied by abstaining for a few days. Did you know that caffeine causes physical addiction? Cannabis does not.
@mamaloney1 According to the JAMA Journal 2003, a study of 300 twins showed how they were 5 times more likely to use hard drugs when they used marijuana at the age of 17 or below, even after the researchers adjusted for early tobacco and alcohol use. This is so, because according to the Current Drug Targets Journal 2010, cannabis using adolescents show a neurobiological convergence of the cannabinoid and opiod systems that is manifest at the receptor and behavioral level.
@mamaloney1 Continued...(Be sure to read my previous post) Translation, according to the Current Drug Targets Journal 2010, adolescent exposure to cannabis leads to hard drug use later on in life. And what's up with ecstasy? I knew marijuana was a gateway drug!
@mamaloney1 The American Journal of Psychiatry 2006 already presents the study conducted at Pittsburgh University. Guess what? Marijuana was found to be a gateway to alcohol and tobacco in 28 of those cases. The Current Drug Target Journal 2010 did say that early cannabis exposure leads to opioid use later on in life. Did you not comprehend that? Pot smokers having their CB1 receptor being agonized that leads to memory impairment...Nice
@starbobpizza I am much more willing to trust a peer reviewed hard science journal than a bullshit soft science journal, and please cite your sources. Memory impairment from cannabis is temporary, and it is less present in regular smokers. Even if what you are saying was true, it still would not prove causation. Problem?
@mamaloney1 This is a peer reviewed medical journal. Science Daily got it from the same researchers that published the same results in this official journal lol. Pot heads really don't know anything. This is all coming from the U.S. National Library of Medicine's official website. I just did cite my sources, but YouTube won't let me post the links! The problem is that you're ignoring facts. I knew pot heads couldn't be dealt with, which is why nobody takes you seriously :D
@mamaloney1 Well, if retard means to present actual medical peer reviewed journals, then yes. They proved a causal effect, noob. Correlations can only be made if one does not adjust for confounding factors. They did. Did you miss out the part when they adjusted for early tobacco and alcohol use? Well, they also adjusted for conduct disorder. Just Google this: JAMA (2003) 289:427-433
Easy enough for ya, pot head? Marijuana is a gateway drug, even after adjusting for other drug use. Period.
our system is corrupt as they come all based on deception and greed when you lock some one up and make them do labor for pretty much nothing that is called SLAVERY. they take off the chains now they use us ALL with brains. these politicians with harvard degrees and "good christians" and people buy into and these are the same people that will stick a knife in your back when your not looking
to be fair, she got caught doing something illegal. even if we don't think it should be illegal. the cops screwed up, the didn't go to willie meggs, the state attorney, and get permission, they sort of tricked her into doing what she did. i was living in tallahassee when this happened, i have friends who are cops. they were all surprised the other officers did what they did.
I WAS CAUGHT WITH ONE WEED SEED, THEY GAVE ME SIX MILLION DOLLARS AND SENT ME TO ALAKA TO BUY STOLEN HUSKY DOGS, INSTEAD I BOUGHT THREE GRIZZLY BEARS, EVER SEEN A MAD ASS GUARD GRIZZLY BEAR, WELL, DON'T FUCK WITH ME AND MAYBE YOU WON'T!
PS - MY GRIZZLY BEARS SMOKE MARLBORO RED 100s - I TOLD YOU THEY ARE BAD ASS.
HEY, WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY TRIP TO BRAZIL WITH 15 TRILLION DOLLARS OF CIA MONEY AND HOW I BOUGHT A BROTHEL AND 3,000 HOOKERS?
Im 16 and got caught with a gram of weed. All chances of college are pretty much shot now is what the police told me. I dont see how these laws help anyone?
@Andy11231 Only a true "genius" argues for prohibition while calling someone else and "idiot". Please remove your head from your ass before posting next time...thanks :)
you will be missed girl and LOVE to all the cannabis users our sensles fight is still on because of uninformed people PLEASE WHATCH THE DOCUMENTARY THE UNION THE BUSINESS BEHIND GETTING HI or THE CURE by RICK SIMPSON
@Andy11231 im sorry im not the one who is being offensive that would be you and i think that if you cant explain is because even if you give an argument its still not going to be a good one not trying to offend but if you knew anything about cannabis you would know that its not a good reason to put someone in jail for just wanting to relax and if your like me a regular citizen who pays taxes and studies at lest i would think that instead of getting piss drunk why not just relax and smoke a j
@jameshardsteel if you wanna be straight edge thats great but when you start telling others how to live thats when you become a cocksucker. please keep that in mind at all times
fuck these self righteous cops thinking they are doing good by stopping people form using weed , these ppl go around judging us based on misconceptions and preconceived notions and i hope all the cops that have died over the years are the corrupt ones , karma is a bitch
cops are fucken dirty they try and use ppl like objects and dont give too shits if they are shot. for what? this phony war on drugs GET OUT AND DO UR JOBS U FUCKIN PUSSYS THERE ARE RAPIST MURDERS AND THIEFS ABOUT AND U ARE WORRIED ABOOUT VICTIMLESS CRIMES THEY ARE HURTING NOONE BUT THEMSELVES AND PPL ONLY USING POT ARENT EVEN DOING THAT IF THEY WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WE DO TO OUR OWN BODYS THEN ALCOHOL AND CIGS WOULD BE ILLEGAL
good thing I wasnt her dad or I would go kill those asshole cops, and laugh about it as I watched them suffer and die. you touch my daughters life and your a dead man walking if she gets hurt.
@bortnick61 i dont have children but i can say that for a loved one anybody can do anything its just fact and better off worse if its because of something that they do that benefits everyone except people that are dumbly corrupted by people who don't know anything about there own history ... if anyone thinks cannabis should be illegal then your non american you cant say your a true american because cannabis is what founded the great soil you walk on LOVE TO ALL CANNABIS USERS NO MATTER THE RESON
This shit makes me sad... Fucking bullshit that a young girl had to die because she chose to smoke a plant that grows everywhere in the ground.. Goddamn corrupt politicions and police. Everyone send an email to your representitive about why marijuana should be legalized. And dont be idiots about it. Take your time on it and if you are a dumbass that cant spell and types in all caps stay away please you are only harming the cause..
Ocala and many of these Florida communities make their living on the backs of the poorest part of society. Nothing new there. Economic enslavement via the "Justice" System.
They live on farming poor people for Federal and State subsidies on incarceration. Disgusting as it gets, they get people who can least afford a defense and farm them for the cal. $218 booking subsidy, $x per day they keep folks incarcerated.
This in place of State Income tax. Those who have are un-affected.
Many Floridians are BLIND, to the behavior of Local Authorities. Not meaning to be ignorant, just their American Experience is different. I am NOT SURPRISED. I lived in Gainesville FL. I have seen so many things with these people.
@itmandk i live in ocala and it suck, bullshit how florida deals with the possession of MM, a friend of mine with going to prison because of pot yes he had a bond but to get to that bond amout he had to sell everything he own including his house. the amount of pot he had on him at the time pound 1/2.
Many Floridians are BLIND, to the behavior of Local Authorities. Not meaning to be ignorant, just their American Experience is different. I am NOT SURPRISED. I lived in Gainesville FL. I have seen so many things with these people.
Prosecutors are the One's the Police use as a shield! They, themselves ARE ALMOST NEVER PROSECUTED! Gov.'s direct Judges, Prosecutors appease judges. Inherent corruption of The South = Old L.A., CA Gates style!
You're telling me that the DEA nabbed a college graduate for possession of marijuana, threatened to lock her up for a long time, forced her to become an informant, and then purposly sent her on a suicide mission??!! Fucking bullshit
'purposly sent her on a suicide mission' is the only part you got wrong. They were simply ignorant like most officials who think they know something about marijuana.
What's bullshit is that the incentive for this to happen even exists. That people are so motivated against something that is literally no where near the root of the negative experiences they've had in their own life, yet its an easy answer and all too easy to accept.
Strictly Cannabis users hurt NOBODY. Cannabis also hurt's NOBODY, FACT!
100% Medicine.
NO VICTIM-NO CRIME.
There are PLENTY of rape/murder/paedophile complaints ect... to keep the Police busy for YEARS.
It should be illegal for them to divert there time into petty crimes... Pigs are fucking Disgusting, the way they visualise the public (they pay for there houses & cars, with your life's).
Fucking Nazis are too scared to go undercover themselves, so they involve a young woman with hardened criminals. What a fucking disgrace. FUCK FLORIDA and those bumpkin laws.
the laws are just getting tighter and controlling our lives little by little specially enforced by assholes like those cops and agents...shame on them. R.I.P. Rachel , my condolonces to the family
Lives ruined is so true. I'll be 32 years old in june and I'm still paying the prices for what I was arrested for when I was 19 and 20. Can't join the military. Can't get any government job. Can't be a teacher, can't go into health care either. Job stability is not even an option in my life. I can do warehouse work. That's about it.
@salem587 you are so much more than a warehouse worker my friend. I'm sure your an intelligent person who's skills are being repressed due to an unfair drug war. FUCK OUR GOVERNMENT!!!
If entrapment is illegal, then surely forcing someone to act in this way should also be. Are the police not supposed to enforce the law and protect citizens? Whoever put this poor girl in this position should be publicly exposed and the policies and policy makers that caused this travesty too. Whatever you think about cannabis, the law enforcement agencies abusing someone in this way has to be addressed and has to be answered.
It's obvious we know who the real enemy really is. I try my best to watch out for pigs, specially cause I'm Mexican because if they pull me over with a joint of Marijuana it won't matter to them if I work harder than the rest of the people who don't smoke Marijuana, to them the only thing that will matter is that I'm Hispanic with possession of a harmless plant.
Can anybody tell me why the cops involved in this fucked up case did not get second degree murder charges or manslaughter? Thats what is fucked up in this country, they listen to everything the police say even knowing that most police are corrupt in one way or another.The police get away with every law that they break. The police that don't break the law are just as guilty as the ones that do because they witness it and don't turn them in and thats supposed to be their job.Now do you feel safer?

The gov't is full of liars...DUH! Point is...Mary Jane is illegal b/c the paper/lumber companies and the pharmaceutical industries don't want it legal and they pay big bucks to keep it that way! If I owned a ton of forest land and I realized that someone could grow hemp and make better wood and paper products with it...I would probably lobby congress to KILL the hemp industry. If I was a pharmaceutical company and I realized that people wouldn't need Prozac or Paxil if they just smoked pot?
screw socialism...screw u troll...stfu u act likes its fuckin hard the get a marijane card im fuckin 18 and made up[ some shit i get migraines and i got it....fuck u pussssssssssyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you are charge with a possesion of marijuana you can not get college finacal aid but i can go slaugter 30 people and still get a college loan. tell me how the government isnt all fucked up.
Did this MSDOSS kid really set up a bunch of accounts just to thumbs up his own comments to make him look relevant? You know usually people don't upset me on the internet. In fact i dont think its ever happened. But you... Somehow i just cant look past the level of ignorance and hate in your comments. I wish an authority figure would put you in the same situation this girl was put in, where you had no choice but to comply. Then once you got killed needlessly, i could stick up for you too...
@darklynx69 No we are a big happy family from the old school.Like my cuz said fuck Rachel an you too.In response 2 your commet on behalf of my cuz,he was put in the position Rachel was.This what he did 9 mons lock up.HE DID NOT MESS WITH ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE BECAUSE HE GOT PINCHED.BY THE WAY WHEN HE GOT OUT HE STILL GOT HI DIPLOMA.YEA MY AUNT FOUND OUT ALL ABOUT HIS CRIME.She still loves him the same.Darklynx69 glad you aint 1 of our friends you snitch material all day long.TADDLE TALE........
How many accounts do you have on youtube? You don't have to act like your 10 different people kid, we're all smart enough to know it's all just you. Also, I'm pretty sure this girl would have been locked up for more than a few months. Use your brain. They wouldn't send someone on a buy like that for a 9 month sentence. This is gonna be the last time i respond to you by the way, simply because you don't seem intelligent or competent enough to hold an adult conversation. Grow up.
@alecthefish yeah, it was crucial that california legalized it, as it was thought it'd create a domino effect legalizing it over different states again and again and possibly even countries, but the vote lost by only a few percentages, so im told
@chillibeans22 Go snitch on someone else you keyboard warrior!Oh yea we all forgot your a lawyer,yea right.what a lame ass snitch you are.Keep sniching on folks an you will be laying right beside Rachel.Why are 90% of your commets removed?I'll tell you snitch,nobody like a snitch including yt staff,so fuck off rat,snitch,nark,loose lipps,punk,bitch,sucker,lame,coward,dumb mother fucker did I say snitch?FUCK OFF I AM DONE WITH YOUR SNITCH ASS,ITS OFFICAL YOUR ASS IS BLOCKED BY MOST OF US HERE!!!
@chillibeans22 Go snitch on someone else you keyboard warrior!Oh yea we all forgot your a lawyer,yea right.what a lame ass snitch you are.Keep sniching on folks an you will be laying right beside Rachel.
Wait a minute....something doesn't seem right. If she really only got arrested for "simple possession", which most of the time you'll get just a citation for unless you're on probation, would the cops really set up a sting operation like that? Cocaine, Ecstasy, and a gun? $13,000? That's an ass load of drugs. I'm sorry for her family and friends, but that's why you don't snitch. Anyone who is willing to fuck someone over to save their own ass is fucked up. It's sad, but she did it to herself.
@MSDOSS Thanks man. Real talk, I LOVE smoking weed, but I'm not going to blame the gov't for this. They came up with the idea, and she agreed. You should never harm someone else for your own personal gain. "I don't want to get in trouble for breaking the law, so I'll throw someone else under the bus." Get the fuck outta here.
@chillibeans22 Man you are some bad dude,wanting to rape my mother,wife and kill my children!Let me tell you something you coward I WOULD SAY ALL I HAVE SAID ON YT TOO YOUR FACE!People do not like snitches thats that,it will never change...So once again fuck you and Rachel Hoffman!She picked her faith like you are doing,peace snitch....
@chillibeans22 hey snitch ,did'nt you 4get to tell me how you woluld fragg my house?Thats something you say on youtube all the time.You told all of us you would snitch,I called you on it now you are salty!!!
@chillibeans22 Dude Fuck You,you are here telling all of us your a snitch too.Get a life!!!If you are going to do the crime you got too do the time!Im not snitching on anybody , fuck that...STOP SNITCHING!!!
@EricdrinksOJ thats a disgusting thing to say, she was just looking out for herself, wouldn't you? and its not like she was busting other weed dealers, she was busting coke dealers, who defiantly deserve to go to jail more than weed users like herself. I don't like snitches either man, but saying she deserved to die for this is just completely out of line.
hey man all im sayin is she shouldnt be fucking around and getting caught by police and that fact that she got herself killed mean shes a fucking retard
I will never forget this tragic story. I am extremely sorry for Rachel and her loved ones.
If anyone reading this smokes or has smoked Marijuana... please don't stop. The risks we all take when ingesting cannabis supports a greater goal. Once legalization is achieved, this ridiculous 'war on drugs' will cease to exist. Once that happens, noone else will have to fall victim as Rachel Hoffman did over such a harmless, natural plant. Remember Rachel's story.
In my opinion, the #1 reason why weed is still illegal in the US is because of the alcohol and tobacco companies that donate about $1 million dollars a day towards anti-drug campaigns. Alcohol and tobacco companies don't want to have competition with future cannabis related companies so they are doing everything in there power to keep marijuana illegal.
@jammingbrad racism is why this whole thing started because there was a lie that it caused blacks to rape white women plus the competition against the timber industry (hemp not weed) the fact is that most people cannot handle the truth about weed so they choose to live in ignorance people are actually starting to believe facts and not laboratories that are run by the government to say reefer madness exists but it wont come to fruicient until the millenium generation takes shit over
@finalfantasy1912 Yeah, most definitely. Have you ever watched the 60's "Anti-Marijuana" commercials? They're a joke and full of lies. Idk how long it will be until people open there eyes and realize how safe weed is but, it will become legal through out the united states within 10 years for sure. California is more than likely going to have weed legal in like 2 years.
haha the government is shitting bricks reading all these comments. fuck all you corrupt fuckers. like someone else said before me, let us live in peace. Cannabis is not a crime, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew and smoked weed, even advocated for its amazing qualities. The people are waking up and the revolution is happening. only a matter of time
wikipedia has entry, & some news clips. If it's more-or-less true, she partied/drank like many college girls (FSU), was dealing ounces, got busted, had a few E's in the apartment, did an undercover bust to get leniency in her court case, the cops seem to have made mistakes, putting her in greater risk (police laws were changed soon after), the deal moved location, went bad somehow, a couple brotha's seem to have shot her dead...details confidential. 1 guy convicted of murder, 2nd pending.
FUCK THOSE DISGUSTING PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THE WAY THE GOVERMENT CONTROLS EVERY FUCKIN THING. FIX THE WORLD AND LET US LIVE IN FUCKIN PEACE. PUT SNOOP DOGG IN OFFICE I GUARANTEE HE WOULD DO A BETTER JOB IN 1 DAY THEN ALL THE FUCKIN PRESIDENTS COMBINED. THIS SO CALLED EARTH IS A FUCKIN DISGRACE TO HUMANITY AND TO ARE FATHER..........I HOPE ALL YOU LOW LIFE SCUMS WHO CARE NOTHING BUT ABOUT URSELVES BURN IN HELL FOR THE REST OF UR PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT LIVES
Undercover? How much did she get caught with? I HATE THE FUKN GOVT! It could be such a glorious thing organized to make a utopian civilization where freedom n happines flourish! instead it has become a dystopian plutonomy (google it my ignorant fellow species) that botches the lives of "dead peasants" (im not a huge fan of michael moore but that shit floored me, from "Capitalism: A Love Story") If we dont fight for what we want everything will slowly disappear.!OPEN UR EYES N SHUT UR MOUTH!
BTW if you think about it the law assumes that a single plant is so detrimental to society that the very people the policy is designed to protect are openly criminalized and punished by a system of "justice"....in essence the government wishes to protect it people from a benign and recretionally fun plant by locking them in cages and assaulting them on the streets....fucking disgrace to the human race...anyone i catch talking about how bad pot is i literally tell them i have no respect for them
@TheGreatDeciever55 amen dude the lecture about how bad it was when we were kids we were too blind to see that there might be a little bit more to it than just what a police officer tells you all other drugs i have no desire to take or even see but pot just makes you happy hungry and sleepy kind of what alcohol does if you drink accordingly i have never known a father or mom thats used pot and beat their kids and most people incarcerated for pot are non violent offenders its a disgrace
Maybe the dumbass shouldn't have got caught with marijuana to begin with.

@RKKILLER16 Hate to break it to you but your wrong, marijuana is illegal because of Willian Randolf Hertz, who owned multple printing presses and newspaper companies, since hemp was starting to take over the paper industry he started printing made up stories about "MARIJUANA" like reefer madness, once illegal he had no competition and got rich, its wasnt until Nixon's "war on drugs" campain that put marijuana as a.schedule 1 drug, yes the government grows it theyve been doing it in colleges 4eva

Weed should be decriminalized at least and it will be but legalization probably won't happen as much as I want it to. There are conflicting studies on marijuana which is why I say that.

@CurtisIJM I'd take it a step further: Penalties for the possession of any drug should reflect the amount of harm that the act of possessing the drug causes society. Whether a person is in possession of cookies or marijuana makes no difference, the direct result of them possessing those things is the same: no harm is caused to other individuals. Moralizing based on hypotheticals, rhetoric, and anecdotes would have us criminalize cookie distribution as intent to cause diabetes.

weed is a legitimate medication and this girl was killed because marijuana was made illegal for economic reasons and kept illegal to protect the money being made from pharmaceutical alcohol and cigarette companies which would lose money if it was legalized.

@prozak169 Eh...Actually, she wasn't only carrying marijuana. She had tons of ecstasy, too. Not to mention, if you know the whole story, then you would know that she only got probation the first time she was caught with marijuana.

starbobpizza 5 months ago
@starbobpizza just because someone smokes pot doesnt mean they condone the use of hard drugs the point is cops should be focusing on crimes that actually effect others instead of putting users at risk just to catch dealers for a victim-less crime. if she lived in a state that was more tolerant of pot she would have gotten a ticket but because she had the ecstasy it wouldn't have mattered, so yes i guess it is more hard drugs that led to what happened but w/ FL's harsh weed laws you never know
prozak169 5 months ago
@prozak169 You don't understand, she was given probation the first time around. However, the 2nd time, she was caught again. I wouldn't be crying over a drug dealer getting caught. If it was just weed, then obviously that would be different. Still, she was given a chance, and she blew it.

There HAS NEVER been a recorded death, marijuana smokers are just as likely to live as long as non-Msmokers. gateway drug is a term that hasn't been used in 50 years, because it is completely false. Most people start drinking coffee as a precursor to heroin. does that make coffee a gateway drug to heroin? Millions smoke weed and nothing else, I suggest you do some research yourself, noob.

And what you are saying about tolerance isn't true. You won't build any real tolerance unless you smoke everyday for an extended period of time. Even then, your tolerance is easily remedied by abstaining for a few days. Did you know that caffeine causes physical addiction? Cannabis does not.

Whoever put this poor girl in this position should be publicly exposed and the policies and policy makers that caused this travesty too. Whatever you think about cannabis, the law enforcement agencies abusing someone in this way has to be addressed and has to be answered.

Rest In Paradise Rachel Hoffman.
It's obvious we know who the real enemy really is. I try my best to watch out for pigs, specially cause I'm Mexican because if they pull me over with a joint of Marijuana it won't matter to them if I work harder than the rest of the people who don't smoke Marijuana, to them the only thing that will matter is that I'm Hispanic with possession of a harmless plant.

Can anybody tell me why the cops involved in this fucked up case did not get second degree murder charges or manslaughter? Thats what is fucked up in this country, they listen to everything the police say even knowing that most police are corrupt in one way or another.The police get away with every law that they break. The police that don't break the law are just as guilty as the ones that do because they witness it and don't turn them in and thats supposed to be their job.Now do you feel safer?

The gov't is full of liars...DUH! Point is...Mary Jane is illegal b/c the paper/lumber companies and the pharmaceutical industries don't want it legal and they pay big bucks to keep it that way! If I owned a ton of forest land and I realized that someone could grow hemp and make better wood and paper products with it...I would probably lobby congress to KILL the hemp industry. If I was a pharmaceutical company and I realized that people wouldn't need Prozac or Paxil if they just smoked pot?

Did this MSDOSS kid really set up a bunch of accounts just to thumbs up his own comments to make him look relevant? You know usually people don't upset me on the internet. In fact i dont think its ever happened. But you... Somehow i just cant look past the level of ignorance and hate in your comments. I wish an authority figure would put you in the same situation this girl was put in, where you had no choice but to comply. Then once you got killed needlessly, i could stick up for you too...

How many accounts do you have on youtube? You don't have to act like your 10 different people kid, we're all smart enough to know it's all just you. Also, I'm pretty sure this girl would have been locked up for more than a few months. Use your brain. They wouldn't send someone on a buy like that for a 9 month sentence. This is gonna be the last time i respond to you by the way, simply because you don't seem intelligent or competent enough to hold an adult conversation. Grow up.

Wait a minute....something doesn't seem right. If she really only got arrested for "simple possession", which most of the time you'll get just a citation for unless you're on probation, would the cops really set up a sting operation like that? Cocaine, Ecstasy, and a gun? $13,000? That's an ass load of drugs. I'm sorry for her family and friends, but that's why you don't snitch. Anyone who is willing to fuck someone over to save their own ass is fucked up. It's sad, but she did it to herself.

@MSDOSS Thanks man. Real talk, I LOVE smoking weed, but I'm not going to blame the gov't for this. They came up with the idea, and she agreed. You should never harm someone else for your own personal gain. "I don't want to get in trouble for breaking the law, so I'll throw someone else under the bus." Get the fuck outta here.

@EricdrinksOJ thats a disgusting thing to say, she was just looking out for herself, wouldn't you? and its not like she was busting other weed dealers, she was busting coke dealers, who defiantly deserve to go to jail more than weed users like herself. I don't like snitches either man, but saying she deserved to die for this is just completely out of line.

I will never forget this tragic story. I am extremely sorry for Rachel and her loved ones.
If anyone reading this smokes or has smoked Marijuana... please don't stop. The risks we all take when ingesting cannabis supports a greater goal. Once legalization is achieved, this ridiculous 'war on drugs' will cease to exist. Once that happens, noone else will have to fall victim as Rachel Hoffman did over such a harmless, natural plant. Remember Rachel's story.
Peace, Love, and Cannabis

In my opinion, the #1 reason why weed is still illegal in the US is because of the alcohol and tobacco companies that donate about $1 million dollars a day towards anti-drug campaigns. Alcohol and tobacco companies don't want to have competition with future cannabis related companies so they are doing everything in there power to keep marijuana illegal.
jammingbrad 10 months ago
@jammingbrad racism is why this whole thing started because there was a lie that it caused blacks to rape white women plus the competition against the timber industry (hemp not weed) the fact is that most people cannot handle the truth about weed so they choose to live in ignorance people are actually starting to believe facts and not laboratories that are run by the government to say reefer madness exists but it wont come to fruicient until the millenium generation takes shit over
finalfantasy1912 10 months ago
@finalfantasy1912 Yeah, most definitely. Have you ever watched the 60's "Anti-Marijuana" commercials? They're a joke and full of lies. Idk how long it will be until people open there eyes and realize how safe weed is but, it will become legal through out the united states within 10 years for sure. California is more than likely going to have weed legal in like 2 years.

BTW if you think about it the law assumes that a single plant is so detrimental to society that the very people the policy is designed to protect are openly criminalized and punished by a system of "justice"....in essence the government wishes to protect it people from a benign and recretionally fun plant by locking them in cages and assaulting them on the streets....fucking disgrace to the human race...anyone i catch talking about how bad pot is i literally tell them i have no respect for them

@TheGreatDeciever55 amen dude the lecture about how bad it was when we were kids we were too blind to see that there might be a little bit more to it than just what a police officer tells you all other drugs i have no desire to take or even see but pot just makes you happy hungry and sleepy kind of what alcohol does if you drink accordingly i have never known a father or mom thats used pot and beat their kids and most people incarcerated for pot are non violent offenders its a disgrace
