Sen. John McCain on medical marijuana--Sept. 29, 2007

[truthward]

Way to go John McCain I hope to become as good a speaker as you when facing opposition. Respect

[Electricspaceodyssey]

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

Abraham Lincoln

[Electricspaceodyssey]

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."

Albert Einstein

[Bugsy4President]

and the douche bag of the year award goes to :

John McCain

[MrMemoryslot]

TERM LIMITS!

[mrearlygold]

This is a scumbag. Hope it comes back around for ya McCain

[jerry18291]

good for him for sticking to his convictions

[crapfig]

Fuck him. Ignorant bastard. 

[Jayshannon16]

stupid prick.. bite his dick off and then say OHHHH no problems.... asshole!

[Jayshannon16]

stupid prick.. bite his dick off and then say OHHHH no problems.... asshole!

[fuzzyone99]

What is wrong with this guy?

[shortymike93]

What an immature prick!

[SupermansDead93]

JON PERRI IS MY HOMEBOY!!!!!!!!!

[IntelligenceXYZ360]

Do you hear the people argeeing with McCain and frowning upon one who asks the medical marijuana question. That is just wrong and they are so brain washed and old fashioned from Harry Anslingers old claims from the early 1900's.

[norweigengangster]

ur all democratic fucks..i smoke bud all the time and what do you expect??? do u expect a president to legalize marijuana now???? no, that will happen later or maybe never... i hate democrats.. and its ignorant people like YOU that vote for Barry Obama that fuck up this country.... he's spending already trillions and all u hippies think its ok.... he bows to a king ( never done before by president) his backround is shitty and he rides dick

[HerbyHippie]

Him in charge of the world with sahra palin... that was a close one.

[mcnowski]

Mcain is completely out to lunch, its scary to think that there are people just like him all over the planet.

[BentSlightly]

His response is almost bi-polar.

[wildtrinigirl]

Thats why you lost!

[nocares921]

wow. Mccain. way to handle that..what a fucking d-bag. even if youre opposed to medical marijuana you dont have to be such an ass to us rationalists who arent

[BullzOnParade17]

He's an asshole in this. It was extremely rude to keep interrupting him and he hadn't even asked his question.

[plunk52o]

Making the world safe for Big Pharma and Alcohol. May all of your dreams be one dimensional too.

[avedic]

did he just say oh my god here we go again? wow...what an ass.

[pamula1985]

I fucking hate mccain he is a douche bag, and he needs to stop thinking he is fucking funny because he isnt, not in this video not at the debates!

[RareHarmony]

Ok... I have made my final decision. After watching this video, I'm voting for Obama. Besides the idiocracy of prohibiting hemp to begin with, (Which I still have a hard time believing) this video just made McCain look like a true asshole to someone with a legitimate question. And this man wants to be PRESIDENT? Seems like Obama is the best choice in this election.

[karunald]

Shame on you McCain!

[xXemokid420]

wtf, hes saying he will arrest sick and dying americans who are so sick they have to resort to cannabis, because nothing else works. MCcain better not win.

[Jasinskiman]

no hes not saying he will arrest them, he says he doesn't want medical marijuana but it doesn't matter because he won't be elected and it's just a bunch of talk he has larger issues to take care of first

[oljakissarimig]

McCaine... a cocksucker of satan! and he's stupid to!

[syntheticka]

learning to spell before setting out to make others look uneducated would probably be a good thing.

[birdshake]

Syntheticka if you would of took the time out to check the persons location you would of seen that they're from Sweden which more than likely means that English isn't their first language.

But with what English they did say I would have to agree with.

[xxandr]

i have a fundamental disagreement with john mccains use of young men and women as military men policing the world!!!! FUCK MCCAIN

[candlesburn]

McCain was very rude. I'm offended.

What a ass.

[CoTT]

Ropes and hemp again, same old routine. Weak.

[TheBandit82072]

Well the truth is mc cain will never be the president. This election is going to turn out more voters then ever before in history. And nobody wants another (george bush) dumb ass old man who really is a nobody. He has never known the real relaxation of marijuana on the mind and body. Why do you think the modern indian tribes smoke the peace pipe. To keep peace in there tribes. Vote 4 Obama and the world will be a much better place.

[njwrestler22]

Voter turnout will be the highest ever! Haven't we heard this for the past 20 years. College kids are too lazy to vote and Obama has a rockstar personality that only appeals to the younger generation who dont feel like voting. McCain will change the world for good instead of Obama's retarded foriegn affairs thing and his stance that our special forces should not fight.

Vote McCain 08, he's not a black guy!

[mbenson2790]

@TheBandit82072 "vote for obama and the world will be a much better place" your a fucking idiot, NOW i will BLOW YOUR MIND with a quote from a real president: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" -JFK

[Madfoot713]

@TheBandit82072 Yeah, we voted for obama and got another george bush. Thanks for being obedient sheep, you dumb fucking democrats

[mikejb28]

I am a combat veteran too and I have a different opinion. Yes, there are many important issues, but we already have the answers we were lookin for on most issues. Legalizing marijuana is so important because it costs taxpayers 12 billion dollars a years to keep non-violent weed smokers behing bars, much less the fall-out in thier personal life. F**k McMain!

[kaiserblade1]

I don't blame McCain. These fuckin' dopers think that this is the ONLY issue. Thank God those idiots threw away their vote on Ron Small

[divine137]

wow! McCain is the MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!­!

[niehauec]

Someone Please Kill Him.

[RkMasataz]

FUCK MCCAIN!

OBAMA 2008

[WeedFlow420]

@RkMasataz fuck obama and mc cain Ron Paul is the MAN

[fuckingcaneitmate]

what a prick just avoided the question

[birdshake]

I wouldn't say he avoided the question. He obviously said he doesn't support it but he could of said it without being a dick.

[Swansen03]

ok, seriously, how is that funny??? like really??? thats just plain rude, i don't care what the question is, you don't just disregard someone like that???? seriously.

[octoberfire13]

"prescribed", yes I can spell....

p.s. -I suffer from a rare & deadly form of breast cancer called a malignant phyllodes tumor. I don't drink, I don't smoke, & I am 27 years old. There is also no cure for this type of cancer or long term treatment. I have been steadily losing weight, having nausea, pain, chronic fatigue, bone pain, etc. All of the prescription drugs have made me MORE sick with side effects. I have a prescription now for pot,~I only need 1 small piece a night to eat,it works!!

[octoberfire13]

I don't trust any government that allows cigarettes to be legal, but butts in with the sick & dying, not allowing them to have medically PRECRIBED marijuana

[Buddha09163]

mcCain prolly smoked cannabis when he got shot in the ass during the war

[yinyangaccount]

Mr mccain always uses the same story "yes i remember hemp" he's an old timer that has been brainwashed into thinking it's not usefully, although this dismisses the fact that it has been successfully used as medicine for over 4,000 years... and will keep being used and will be legalized with it's end of prohibition just as slavery has ended.

[Kiwisplat]

yeah, nice save in the last 10 seconds mr McCain.

He is one insolent prick....

[GoaTseTung]

"Oh who cares about what the people think"

[karnivor707]

MCCAIN IS A POS HONKEY.

[NoVacancY808]

fuck youtube...

[soliloqy]

looks more like a diet coke can than beer... the proper answer lies in the 4th ammendment... If there is no scientific evidence then it has to be illegal... if your in the privacy of your own home doing it, then under no circumstances should the fed raid your home... if your arrogant enough to prance down main street and say it's ok because your in pain, then you deserve to pay the piper...

[meklo361]

Fuck you McCain you are white trash keep drinking beer you old man I hope you have a stroke

[njwrestler22]

And I hope Obama dies in a crazy redneck shootout.

[pamula1985]

I hope your mother gets hit by a bus

[animosityxxx]

come to my house so i can fuckin beat you over the head with a hammer. bitch

[njwrestler22]

shut the fuck up, use your fists you pussy, message me and ill give you my address you fucking liberal fag.

[ganjawrap]

He chugs a beer while he closes his mind to someone, his own citizen who has concerns and whom he could (god, please no) possibly govern one day, and he thinks he could be a good president? I wouldn't let that wrinkly ignorant asshole in my house let alone have him running my country. Fuck you McCain.

[chixsngr]

He is a liar. When Tom Leykis had an AM radio program on KFI in Los Angeles, I heard John McCain on his show saying he favored legalization of marijuana. This would be in the 80s. I remember it clearly because Tom (when he used to do a legit political talk show) made a big deal of it. Everyone was calling in saying how rational McCain was and that he could be President some day.

I think I'll send this video clip to Leykis and see if he can produce the tape.

[Racer1968]

McCain = closed minded ignorant S.O.B.

I'm not saying marijuana is completely benign or for children (unless authorized by a doctor) but if marijuana wasn't relatively safe and effective for medical maledictions do you think The American College of Physicians, 124,000 strong, would release a position paper endorsing medical marijuana in Feb 08.

To see the paper Google > American College of Physicians Marijuana.

Read and learn.

[ksmithreps]

talk about turning on a dime....macCain went from being rude to..."oops i better be really polite and act like i respect everyone's opinion". I think we saw the real mr mccain early on and then the poltician later. I use to love him but that has all changed over the past 2 months as i feel like he is a completely different person. Say..has any one seen mr mccain around?

[cbough88]

Thats because they told him through his ear peice that he is making himself look like an asshole.

[jesushchristlds]

To claim ignorance on this subject is such a lie. Besides my disagreement with his politics, he's got a temper and loose tongue that alone disqualifies him from being a level headed president. Bomb Iran? He is not a thinking man.I feel some sympathy for his POW past, but it doesn't help him politically in my eyes. Selfless charity and devotion to the less fortunate or a lifelong commitment to a cause greater than oneself is much more impressive than the life of McCain.He's been rich for years.

[stevevaizorz]

Americans are fucking retarded, this asshole has the most votes so far for republican!??! WHAAA?!?!?!

[falconsfan393]

just look at barrack obama.all he talks about is how he's gonna change the nation but never says what he's gonna change and how yet he has more votes than any candidate.america is a joke

[stevevaizorz]

I'd have to agree, time to move out

[JesusHChristofLDS]

McCain's wife, Cindy, is the Hensley in Hensley, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor. Google Mccain and beer. The pharmaceutical companies and liquor industry are marijuanas competition.

[maxwelljacob]

For a Real Partiot for president see Ron Paul

[demboyswashuge]

haha he was a complete dick and then kissed ass.

[sb50ct]

MCCAIN you are a god damn sellout that only believes in continuing the war in Iraq and making the government bigger and more intrusive. Fuck your stupid ass viewpoints and your clean-ass, "show me documentation" shit. How many things happen on a daily basis in this country that aren't proveable on paper? You know the people that raid medical patients aren't giving them a "WE DID THIS" document for proof. This guy is from Mars.

[NexonXenate]

fuck these bitches, vote for the black man that has smoked marijuana - Obama '08

[SeanGizzle]

Plus one to you!

[angatcpac]

hummm...harsh response with a closing to try to smooth it over. McCain scares me.

[moemeome]

me to!

[bulwinkl42]

Wow! I may vote Republican for the first time in my life.

How can you call McCain spineless? He took on the Bush Administration to fight torture when no one else did, and they're trying to ruin him for it. He gave an honest answer! No, intoxication is bad, but he won't put you in jail for using cannabis. I haven't seen a better answer than that.

[NexonXenate]

lol fuck you. he'll prolly hit us with a fine of like 200+ dollars fuck this bitch

[mrpimpman7]

Yeah Your Right! Fuck McCain! That Bitch thinks he can act like some stupid asshole and try to embarass that guy by cracking jokes, then apologizes when he didn't have the audiences support on his response. so he switched into this respectful listener, what a crock of Shit! that guys a bitch! Shows what he really thought about that guy the first few words. "Not This Bullshit Question Again, Fuck these people"

[bgabbs69]

Mccain is a fucking spineless cock!

[habodabi]

Another ass who will do anything for money.

[djjimcarson]

What a jerk! John McCain acted like a total jerk in this video. I would never vote for someone like that for president. It's only a matter of time before the enlightened and progressive minds of the younger generations speak their voice and pass this law in all 50 states. Ron Paul in 2008!

[k3304]

you have to say McCain is right to the point and doesnt mince words or gives into the advocates. Go John !!

[bgabbs69]

Yeah go john! Lets stay in iraq for another 100 years!! Yea!!!

[BooBooLane]

McCain is just a bad person, as are they all.

They have one thing in common--they despise the folq they claim to represent.

[MesseD]

Ron Paul > all candidates

[numnums21]

"here we go again"

apparently its what THE PEOPLE want!

Ron Paul '08

[Tasadaru]

McCain just so you know I am not your friend. You could have just explained your opinion and moved on, but instead insulted a person who really cares. What's funny is that you're still running for president.

For Ron Paul's response: /watch?v=JHS_y94H1Dk

[blahinhawaii]

Please watch my video Mccain in the latest debate on Oct 9 in dearborn michigan.

He explains what he thinks the oath of office for the president is....man is it funny. What an imbecile.

[lynch03]

anyone who drinks beer or smokes cigerates,and is against legalizing marijuana is a hypocrite, period!!

[KripDrip]

Im against ALL of those 3 drugs. I just dont want them legalizing it and encouraging more drug use.

[ajaxtly]

No matter what one thinks about McCain politically, all will agree that he lacks gifts intellectually. It is discouraging to hear Americans applaud his lame remarks concerning medical marijuana. It demonstrates a certain innateness and profound stupidity/ignorance on the issue. However, that is no reason for McCain, who is running for the highest office, to sadly attempt to belittle the questioner.

[beckweth]

poor mc cain too unstable to be pres.

[oyate1960]

Pussy faggot McCain. The will of the people on the state levels have been made clear. All McCain has is "you don't count, your opinion doesn't count". These politicians use this as many other things as a method of control. The people speak, they don't listen.

FUCK THEM.

[americahashope]

Can't stand McCain!!!! He is an ass.

[Matthappy420]

It has united the people with the state, and shown that America is truely great!

To bad the Feds are going in and #ucking with the laws of the state!

Bush must go! Impeach the Bush Administration!

[Matthappy420]

More money can be made by legalizing weed, then taxing the hell out of it! It makes since to legalize weed, its the number 3 most commonly used recreational drug in America!

Legalize it and tax it! Stop declaring war on the people or a drug!

In California where weed is legal if you have the card, this has taken all the small drug dealers off the street and put them out of business! Its created a huge amount of revenue for the state!

[Matthappy420]

It's time to support politicians that support the american peoples voice and votes! America clearly votes to decrimilize the use of this drug!  It is only resistance from marijuana's competition that keeps it criminalized and illegal. Alcohol and mediacl drug companies coninually pay the politicians to keep it illegal.

Impeach the corrupt politicians and elect the people who support our freedoms!

Happy 420!

[acheddar]

Way to pretend that hemp is illegal for some reason other than it's ability compete with big oil pharmaceutical companies!

[MikeCANN]

What a phony! Why is he embarrassed?

[italndiva]

never mind my question. I think the man is HIGH! He smokes the Cannabis!

[italndiva]

why are there 5 stars

[TreeSmokerDOTcom]

It is very upsetting to see Mr. McCain flip-flopping on the issue of Medical Marijuana. It was just last April that he stated that he would respect the 12 Medical Marijuana States, and now he pledges to continue prosecuting seriously ill patients.

Mr. McCain has earned every bit of his F

[bjardis]

What a flaming idiot. Mccain.

[LetoThree]

I think its pretty obvious who the "Idiot" is in that video.. He was wearing a hat and trying to be a funny guy, while upholding some ethically depraved viewpoint.. He also tends to talk out of both sides of his mouth.

[NikoKun]

what a dick... "i never will" - when someone says that is major a sign of ignorance...

[ginga187]

Clarify who you are talking about kylejah.

[kylejah]

IDIOT!!!
