@AGeekWithAShotgun Why? It still has mind altering effects and if it were legal like eating candy underdeveloped children might have access to it. Thats why alcohol is behind counters ( mind altering effects). Oh wait my bad, alcohol is legal. What I meant to say is to to at least have some control over it like we do with alcohol. Put an age on it.
Rofl, we go through all these hoops to prohibit weed, but you can get 5 things of codeine at Walgreens no problem lol, I know more than a couple doctors who give a perscription for about any painkiller.
What's the argument against allowing adults to choose what to put in their bodies? What the fuck is it? "You're gonna hurt yourself or others." Well, if I hurt myself, what's that to you? And if I hurt others, that's what criminal law is for.
@fontanaman13 No, alcohol should not be illegal. Drugs, of which alcohol is one, should not be illegal. It is behavior, not substances, that are the problem. Criminalize behaviors that violates personal, property or civil rights. It is ok not to like the choices of your fellow man, but don't use the law to impose your preferences.
@fzqlcs I agree! Sorry about my gramatically messed up previous message that I sent to you! I've got an awful headache and I'm on limited sleep. To answer your question though no I don't think alcohol should be illegal! My point is is that if alcohol is legal and it's dangerous than something like marijuana that is tons less dangerous should be legal. Again sorry if the wording isn't great, I'm not feeling to good!

@justasmokinkush Yea isnt it strange how they say heroin has no medical value but oxycontin and morphine are prescribed for pain releif. They are all of the same drug class and work on the body similarly. legalize everything!! Especially psychedelics, like come on!!
The government is all a bunch of bullshit liars. Marijuana is a pure drug that they dont want you smoking. Why? Because they want you to use their own "medicine" that contains who knows what! They are "worrying" about the wrong things when they are the ones controlling the cigarette factorys. I know they are the ones creating crack and heroin. However marijuana is not made using any near harmful substances as other drugs. FUCK IT!
im from the UK and you yanks dont have to worry.. yu have it better than us. atleast some states you can have it for medicine.. you cant have pot for medicine over here and it sucks.. because if i lived in cali i would be able to have a license right now :(
US [Marijuana] Patent # 6,630,507 was obtained in 2003 and is titled "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" and claims "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties... cannabinoids are found to have particular applications as neuroprotectants... limiting neurological damage following... stroke and trauma... or in treatment of neurodegenerative diseases... such as Alzheimer's... Parkinson's... and HIV dementia".
come to Canada Montel...1 license needed, unlike u.s. . am i right in understanding that you need a permit for mm from individual states...what a crock.
Growing tobacco is much more challenging and expensive than growing pot. That's not to say that the government wouldn't profit. They would. They just wouldn't be able to stop small-time producers from profiting.
The war on drugs seems to be more about keeping money out of the hands of the disadvantaged. We surely can't have some man from the ghetto driving the same type of car as his elected official.
please watch documentary RUN FROM THE CURE canadian man Rick Simpson cures terminal cancer with hemp oil and gives it away for free man is a saint not a criminal please watch the best documentary Ive ever seen RUN FROM THE CURE on youtube God Bless
One of the first laws made in jamestown way back when was the growing of hemp because it was a more efficient way to handle multiple tasks, ... So basically growin weed and rollin up is just patriotic
Damn!!! John Stossel got told!!! Way to go, Montel!!! You're my hero!!! I think Marijuana should be legal for medicinal and recreational purposes... Alcohol is more dangerous than pot... And it's legal for anybody over 21... And, being 21 is the only requirement... It doesn't matter if you're an irresponsible 21 year old or not, you can still have it... Wow... That's kinda' dumb... Why not legalize pot if it's less harmful and it affects the mind just like alcohol??? I rest my case...
The reason why I don't like legalizing marijuana is because the government wouldn't know how to distribute it. We'd see long lines at the dispensaries, no choices over what kind of marijuana, and more importantly people would rather just buy the seeds and grow it themselves. This would go against the government regulation and revenue over marijuana, government would simply just be paying for people's weed and see no gain back. Waste of tax payer money!
As an avid closet marijuana smoker I find that it does help suppress pain and it helps want to keep on living. I know that sounds weird but it is true in the most honest sense of the word. I look forward to every chance I get to smoke up. I say legalize it so I can put a few seeds in my garden and care for it the way it cares for me, sorta.
@olympic66power In fact, the first ever experiment documenting pot’s anti-tumor effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest of the U.S. government. The results of that study, immortalized in an August 18, 1974 Washington Post newspaper feature, were that "THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."
It is no different from having a beer or smoking a cigarette.
Smoking it does not "remove you from reality". It simply makes one feel relaxed, hungry, and happy. If you say otherwise you have obviously not smoked it.
I really didn't like the final comment on taxes being a "right", but that's beside the point. It's ridiculous that one cant smoke weed without it turning you in to a criminal.
Another theory for criminalizing marijuana is alcohol became legal in 1933 so they needed something else to have a "war" with easy target was marijuana
I don't really care whether it has medical benefits or not. I'm not medically trained at all, but I'm not convinced that marijuana is that medically beneficial. Irregardless, all drugs should be legalized; good for us or not.
ive always like montel. not simply because i agree with him but watching his show, when i was younger, i always considered him to be a very thoughtful person
Montel's are stellar. But the most basic question that we have to ask ourselves every time we parrot the words "land of the free, home of the brave" is are we really? Where is the freedom for me to determine by my own choice what goes into my body? If I can't control my body by govt decree then that makes me a slave to the whim of the state.
@Brantoc no guns are bad for people.. cannabis doesn't kill but guns do..ask all those dead Mexicans..America should be like Britain..guns are just bad
@gollyanamegame Like Britain? umm no. We like having freedom, and not living under the multinationalists in the EU.
As for guns, they are inanimate objects. It requires an individual to commit an act, same as a kitchen knife, or a rock.
I have no problem with the spray or pill form being used for medical purposes, but if you need an 'escape' from reality though any drug, then you have a mental issue that should be psychologically treated.
@Brantoc Would you ban alcohol because it provides an "escape from reality?" Be honest - because it absolutely does! I don't do drugs of any variety but who am I to tell others that they don't have a right to escape from reality?
@Brantoc As for guns, they are inanimate objects. It requires an individual to commit an act, same as a kitchen knife, or a rock...I am actually pro gun but this is the best way for me to make my point..Blame the person not the drug..its the individual..its called personal response ability..its whats killing America
@gollyanamegame I am all for personal responsibility, but I am also for laws to encourage people to do what is in their best interest. It is illegal to smoke a joint, and should be. If you have a medical condition and need the ingredient, then the spray or pill form are what you need, not want. need. I'd love to smoke pot and never work, just munch on the government dole. I would consider myself weak for it, but many would do that all day long. Protect US from THEM. Keep it illegal to smoke.
@Brantoc Again, you are mistaken. I personally don't smoke anymore. But when I did smoke I worked 50-60 hours a week and advanced quite rapidly at my job. You saying it should stay illegal because people will just loaf around all day is pure stupidity (on so many levels). But no matter what I write here you will most likely stay ignorant until the day you die. I hope I am wrong and you come to see the error in your logic... funny though, smoking a joint would probably help you see that error.
@Brantoc@Brantoc "As for guns, they are inanimate objects. It requires an individual to commit an act, same as a kitchen knife, or a rock. " -- The same can be said to rationalize drug use. Having mental issues and having the freedom to choose whatever to shove down your throat are seperate matters. As for "escaping", the same can be said to simple hobbies ie collecting stamps. Cigar is a drug, alcohol is a drug, do intakers also need psychological treatments?
@idontgiveashit0930 Yes. People with compulsive disorders have "disorders" drugs, and alcohol exacerbate their symptoms, but yes anyone who is addicted to WoW as an example does need help. But let me say equating WoW to crack, while funny, is not correct. Some people want to take their crack and live in peace, which doesn't even make since to me, since a zombie has higher cognitive function than most crackheads. Personally I drink rarely, never to excess. I never smoke anything, and I am happy.
@Brantoc You did not address why equating wow and crack while both being a hobby is incorrect. Some folks want to take their wow and live in peace, just like crack you mentioned, and WTF is up with the zombie conversation? I couldnt careless whether you drink or not, its irrelevant.
@Brantoc May 26 2 West Ark. police are shot down..Sorry Brantoc but we cant trust people to have guns..you maybe ok but its the others we worry about.. its easier to remove all of guns for societies sake..so many people with guns have mental deficiencies that its just best for everyone..and Waco is a perfect example. people will always be out gunned by the government which will always led to a Waco moment with gun kooks. Thats the logic you use..its crap
@gollyanamegame, No government has been completely successful in a prohibition of drugs. How then do you think they can stop guns from entering any country illegally. When you outlaw guns only criminals have them and cops still get shot. In countries where guns are illegal like England violent crime is worse off then before guns were illegal. Same with Australia.
@Brantoc "escape from reality"? You have no idea what the hell you are talking about when you use that stupid phrase in reference to cannabis. Alcohol is the ultimate "escape from reality" and cannabis is a microscope on reality. In fact, that is probably why some people don't like to smoke it, because it tends heavily toward introspection and some people don't like what they see (i.e. they are assholes and refuse to acknowledge it).
@gollyanamegame Guns protect us, governments don't. 2nd amendment was written because colonists weren't allowed to have guns. Govenrments are less likely to take away your freedom if your pointing a gun back at them, Waco, TX excluded.
Marijuana needs to be removed from schedule 1. Schedule 1 means that the Fed declares that it has no medicinal value whatsoever and research is restrained or prohibited. Schedule 4 or 3 is more in line with MJs nature.
wow... montel got quite choked up at the very end.

"It still has mind altering effects and if it were legal like eating candy underdeveloped children might have access to it."
Children have access to it RIGHT NOW even though it's illegal, and drug dealers don't check for IDs.
Stores selling it would require a medical card for medical use or a valid ID of age for recreational use.
"Put an age on it. "
Exactly my point, which is the same contention of the legalization movement. Legalize it, have states regulate it.

The government is all a bunch of bullshit liars. Marijuana is a pure drug that they dont want you smoking. Why? Because they want you to use their own "medicine" that contains who knows what! They are "worrying" about the wrong things when they are the ones controlling the cigarette factorys. I know they are the ones creating crack and heroin. However marijuana is not made using any near harmful substances as other drugs. FUCK IT!

US [Marijuana] Patent # 6,630,507 was obtained in 2003 and is titled "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" and claims "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties... cannabinoids are found to have particular applications as neuroprotectants... limiting neurological damage following... stroke and trauma... or in treatment of neurodegenerative diseases... such as Alzheimer's... Parkinson's... and HIV dementia".

@AntiFaithNY That's true.
Growing tobacco is much more challenging and expensive than growing pot. That's not to say that the government wouldn't profit. They would. They just wouldn't be able to stop small-time producers from profiting.
The war on drugs seems to be more about keeping money out of the hands of the disadvantaged. We surely can't have some man from the ghetto driving the same type of car as his elected official.

Damn!!! John Stossel got told!!! Way to go, Montel!!! You're my hero!!! I think Marijuana should be legal for medicinal and recreational purposes... Alcohol is more dangerous than pot... And it's legal for anybody over 21... And, being 21 is the only requirement... It doesn't matter if you're an irresponsible 21 year old or not, you can still have it... Wow... That's kinda' dumb... Why not legalize pot if it's less harmful and it affects the mind just like alcohol??? I rest my case...

The reason why I don't like legalizing marijuana is because the government wouldn't know how to distribute it. We'd see long lines at the dispensaries, no choices over what kind of marijuana, and more importantly people would rather just buy the seeds and grow it themselves. This would go against the government regulation and revenue over marijuana, government would simply just be paying for people's weed and see no gain back. Waste of tax payer money!

@olympic66power In fact, the first ever experiment documenting pot’s anti-tumor effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest of the U.S. government. The results of that study, immortalized in an August 18, 1974 Washington Post newspaper feature, were that "THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."

There is no reason for pot to be illegal. At all.
It is no different from having a beer or smoking a cigarette.
Smoking it does not "remove you from reality". It simply makes one feel relaxed, hungry, and happy. If you say otherwise you have obviously not smoked it.

Montel's are stellar. But the most basic question that we have to ask ourselves every time we parrot the words "land of the free, home of the brave" is are we really? Where is the freedom for me to determine by my own choice what goes into my body? If I can't control my body by govt decree then that makes me a slave to the whim of the state.

@gollyanamegame Like Britain? umm no. We like having freedom, and not living under the multinationalists in the EU.
As for guns, they are inanimate objects. It requires an individual to commit an act, same as a kitchen knife, or a rock.
I have no problem with the spray or pill form being used for medical purposes, but if you need an 'escape' from reality though any drug, then you have a mental issue that should be psychologically treated.

@Brantoc Would you ban alcohol because it provides an "escape from reality?" Be honest - because it absolutely does! I don't do drugs of any variety but who am I to tell others that they don't have a right to escape from reality?

gollyanamegame 1 year ago
@gollyanamegame I am all for personal responsibility, but I am also for laws to encourage people to do what is in their best interest. It is illegal to smoke a joint, and should be. If you have a medical condition and need the ingredient, then the spray or pill form are what you need, not want. need. I'd love to smoke pot and never work, just munch on the government dole. I would consider myself weak for it, but many would do that all day long. Protect US from THEM. Keep it illegal to smoke.
Brantoc 1 year ago
@Brantoc Again, you are mistaken. I personally don't smoke anymore. But when I did smoke I worked 50-60 hours a week and advanced quite rapidly at my job. You saying it should stay illegal because people will just loaf around all day is pure stupidity (on so many levels). But no matter what I write here you will most likely stay ignorant until the day you die. I hope I am wrong and you come to see the error in your logic... funny though, smoking a joint would probably help you see that error.
kjgear 1 year ago
@Brantoc @Brantoc "As for guns, they are inanimate objects. It requires an individual to commit an act, same as a kitchen knife, or a rock. " -- The same can be said to rationalize drug use. Having mental issues and having the freedom to choose whatever to shove down your throat are seperate matters. As for "escaping", the same can be said to simple hobbies ie collecting stamps. Cigar is a drug, alcohol is a drug, do intakers also need psychological treatments?

@idontgiveashit0930 Yes. People with compulsive disorders have "disorders" drugs, and alcohol exacerbate their symptoms, but yes anyone who is addicted to WoW as an example does need help. But let me say equating WoW to crack, while funny, is not correct. Some people want to take their crack and live in peace, which doesn't even make since to me, since a zombie has higher cognitive function than most crackheads. Personally I drink rarely, never to excess. I never smoke anything, and I am happy.
Brantoc 1 year ago
@Brantoc You did not address why equating wow and crack while both being a hobby is incorrect. Some folks want to take their wow and live in peace, just like crack you mentioned, and WTF is up with the zombie conversation? I couldnt careless whether you drink or not, its irrelevant.

@Brantoc May 26 2 West Ark. police are shot down..Sorry Brantoc but we cant trust people to have guns..you maybe ok but its the others we worry about.. its easier to remove all of guns for societies sake..so many people with guns have mental deficiencies that its just best for everyone..and Waco is a perfect example. people will always be out gunned by the government which will always led to a Waco moment with gun kooks. Thats the logic you use..its crap
gollyanamegame 1 year ago
@gollyanamegame, No government has been completely successful in a prohibition of drugs. How then do you think they can stop guns from entering any country illegally. When you outlaw guns only criminals have them and cops still get shot. In countries where guns are illegal like England violent crime is worse off then before guns were illegal. Same with Australia.
jaysuf100 1 year ago
@Brantoc "escape from reality"? You have no idea what the hell you are talking about when you use that stupid phrase in reference to cannabis. Alcohol is the ultimate "escape from reality" and cannabis is a microscope on reality. In fact, that is probably why some people don't like to smoke it, because it tends heavily toward introspection and some people don't like what they see (i.e. they are assholes and refuse to acknowledge it).

Marijuana needs to be removed from schedule 1. Schedule 1 means that the Fed declares that it has no medicinal value whatsoever and research is restrained or prohibited. Schedule 4 or 3 is more in line with MJs nature.
