Romney and Obama on Medical Marijuana

[MrNoodles87]

honestly im a very conservative person and would rather vote for obama rather then this fucking idiot Romney he doesnt know shit and is a complete asshole to someone who is truly sick

[democratsaresmart]

ROMNEY , I HAVE ? FOR U: "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CREATE JOBS IN AMERICA IF POPULATION OF CHINA IS 1,4B ?

SHAME ON YOU! LIAR! HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NITE? YOU LIE TO AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT JOBS ! YOU ARE JEALOUS OF OBAMA CUZ HE WANTS AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, SHAME ON YOU ! UR WIFE HAS MS AND THIS HOW YOU DEFEND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES?

LISTEN I A HAVE ONLY ONE CHILD AND YOU HAVE 5 CHILDREN, I KNOW UR TIRED , UR BRAIN CANT ABSORB- CHINESE WORK LIKE ROBOTS, REAGAN MADE RUSSIANS $

[Pure1989]

romney is a discrace.

[panoser]

Obama is a jerkoff lying bastard

[mooseyseven]

@panoser incorrect, while he has not done enough to change the drug policy he has changed the DEA policy of raiding medical marijuana dispensaries and arresting those who abide by state laws. Mind you, however, that the Drug Czar states the only reason this is occurring is due to scarce resources, it's all crap though. Our government has GOT to change it's drug policies.

[reinventxalex]

that governor is an ass.

[wgraves4786]

that guy looks like a bitch. romney

[chucksheen]

HR5842!!!

HR1009!!!

[deprosar]

talking to mit romney seems like talking to a wall, and obama ain't much better.

[HateMichelleO]

If you're voting solely on the issue of using illegal drugs, I'm sure Obama is who you would want to elect. He's one of you guys.

[Picaro1]

Obama we nominate Dr. Nadelmann, for Drug Zar. Makes sense America, that we beging to make sense.... We have to understand de basic ethical argument about how we are going to have to deal with the drug issue, beside arresting people and throuhing them in jail, basically because we do not like them using drugs.

[soutsoon]

BRANDOND IS A FAG!!!!

[loslonelygirls]

this dude is fucked up,but i will tell you one thing if he had the muscle thing bound to a wheelchair and medical marijuana was proven to help him i gurantee he would be saying that-the rude mutherfucker,i cant stand ppl like him

[Skeeter1827]

right on

[velvethandofdarkness]

PATHETIC!

[sephem13]

"annpetasuporter" Synthetic marijuana or THC is already being used today....Theirs just one problem, it DOES NOT provide the relief the regular marijuana does. ANY medical marijuana user will tell you this.

[pisscunt]

I'm sorry; fuck you

[annpetasupporter]

Seriously, I mean why is it such a huge deal to make it synthetic?! For pharmaceutical companies to get rich off of it, and so the poor can't afford it? Does everything nowadays have to be synthetic man-made chemicals in order for it to be prescribed? Hello! Does that in any way sound healthier to any of you people??? Well, I'm not for marijuana, but if it is synthetic, then I'm all for it. WTF?

[fuckingcaneitmate]

Yes the biggest problem is when it's in it's natural form the compounds work together it is ready made by nature to medicate the side effects of the pscychoactive and psychotropic compounds, THC is a psychotic on it's own people will display psychotic syptons with pure THC however the cannabinoids are an anti-psychotic they can be used as effectively as anti-psychotic drugs for treating mental illness.

nature has made this perfect thing for us why would you want to mess with natures perfection.

[annpetasupporter]

WOW... He was being such a jerk! Great way to completely ignore the question... Wow, I'm still in shock. He was just so blatantly rude treating him like a piece of dirt like that.

[admiralcrash1]

That Romney guy just gave us a beautiful example of "Facisim" and what does that mean? Someone in authority that ignores you or the people for thier own personal thought and gain. Sounds like alot of our government. The Commies have invaded! lol

[admiralcrash1]

Elephantiasis....ha ha ha

[iwillfightyou]

I hope Romney gets some rare jungle disease that causes his genitals to burn as if they were on fire and in a meat grinder and the only known cure for the pain is some good ol' fashion medical cannabis. Fucking douche nozzle.

[fuukkoff]

what a dick..let go obama 08

[BrandonLeclere]

romneys such a fag

[scorpionsaccount]

i hope to god mccain doesnt win, because he's just as scummy when it came to medical marijuana. anyways ron paul being out of the race, we got hillary and obama, and i believe obama will help medicale marijuana patients from beign raided by the FEDS, federal government, and have them arrest and harass medical marijuana patients. there was an arrest of an old lady even. this has got to stop. I AM NOT A CRIMINAL! THIS IS THE SAME THING BLACKS FACE(D), WOMEN IN VOTING.. DISCRIMINATION. PERIOD.

[stevehewitt69]

what an ass hole!

[mono786]

IM GLAD HE'S OUT OF THE RACE!!!!!!!

[douglassfairchild]

who isn't?

Barack/Clinton 08

[pwn3rs4life]

what a dick!

[jimmyjack321]

romney's a dick

[codyhorstmeyer]

that governor romney needs to go suck my balls cuz like seriously marijuana needs to be legalized or atleast decriminalized

[lateraldrop]

I would want to see an honest vote on how many people think marijuana should be legal and those that don't care to vote in favor of it, then see how many people vote yes. I think it would be enough to end this stupid shit and finally be able to light up legally!

[cannabishead4420]

True dat

[xxPotStarxx]

I am supporting Obama. But, I do like Ron Paul's views on Medical Marijuana as well. I wish I lived in Canada during Bush's administration. :(

[MagikMark0]

As a Soldier that is currently in Iraq right now I will tell you there is only one candidate left in the race that I truly trust. And thats Ron Paul!

[pwn3rs4life]

dude its great that your in irac and shit but give up on ron paul

[MagikMark0]

Give up on Ron Paul why? Ron Paul never gave up on me after being in the game since the

70s!

Give up on him as President? Sure, but Its more than just about him, its about everyone. About Spreading the message to take our country back.

[albrechtkrausse]

Yo Obama gonna be USA Prez and he will bring PRIDE back into the WhiteHouse. I hope he cracks open an ICECOLD 40oz of St.Ides and blazes up a blunt right during the oval office meeting with cabinet. He can SOLVE the problems. You think if he shared some CIA-engineered chronic superbud with Putin, Iran guy, and those crazy Arabs that we would have peace and CHEAP gasoline? Make DC PROUD Obama! Keep it real Obama and bring weed and 40's back into the WhiteHouse to increase the PEACE!

[junkeemonkee]

Ron Paul is the ONLY one who answers it truthfully and honestly!! All the others turn their head or answer like dumb jerks. They have to stop and think about how they are going to answer... Look up Ron Paul, and then go VOTE RON PAUL!!!! He is what we need to fix this country.

[analcarbomb]

stfu

[giggan1]

Yeah, like Obama gives 3/4 of a shiite...

See how Ron Paul answers questions like that. He's the only poltician who answers questions like a person.

[keyboardplaya]

You hate Obama because he won't go the whole nine yards and legalize marijuana? Um, why don't YOU try to fully legalize marijuana and see how far you get? At least he has the balls to say it isn't the horrible drug that republicans say it is.

[RockerDaddyTazz]

NO ONE CARES!!

No DRUG MONEY for DRUG MAKERS!

Lawyers love MJ, it pays for houses, trips and and keeps bank accounts, prisons and the Courts FULL.

WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING!!

TTFN

RDT

[HikaruYamamoto]

and YOU pay for it! hahahahaha

[RockerDaddyTazz]

Did I tell you I was a Health Canada licensed MJ user?

It may be the only reason I am alive!!

TTFN

RDT

[VanSpeedwagon]

Romney is a big fucking dildo

[sheepburn]

Obama is really intelligent with this answer. He communicates that he will restrain the federal government from trumping state marijuana laws and prosecuting individuals in need of the drug - but he doesn't advocate the use of medical marijuana so that his Republican opponent can't to attack him later. awesome answer.

[slitheringinterstate]

Barack Obama = I understand your situation. I realize you're not hurting anyone else by smoking marijuana. I understand trained physicians endorse your use of it. I will leave you the hell alone.

Mitt Romney = I'm uncomfortable with how you look. I will try to steer away from a straight answer. I will plastically smile despite ignorning you when you correctly not no clear answer. I will continue by duechebagdom down the ropeline.

OBAMA 08

[Sceno1]

Ron Paul '08**

[threesixmafia908]

hahaaha...for u lamens out there...i was thinking the same thing...well typed....oh...and fuck mitt romney

[DryWetTowel]

obama wont legalize it so screw him

[ScooterB52]

At least Obama answered the question, first off, second off, I think he is taking a stand, that someone should have taken years ago. The fact that cannabis was made illegal in the first place is inane. The fact that our government incarcerates patients who use a naturual god-given plant and puts good doctors out of buisness, is simply beyond me.

[NoSuchThingAsGreens]

This just shows the compassion level of some of these fucking assholes...He's the type of person who would give his family harmful drugs when theres a natural harmless drug that has no side effects and better healing properties... this douchebag can't seem to acknowledge that.. what a fucking asshole mother fucking pussy bitch ass faggot.. This guy will never become president and if he does I hope he gets fucking assassinated... fucking bitch boy.

[guilty121]

Romney would arrest anyone doing drugs...like caffeine. Mormon or Moron?

[NB259]

Most people don't realize that marijuana is actually harmless. People call it a "gateway drug" when in fact the entire concept doesn't exist. If someone is interested in drugs, they go for the first available, which is usually alcohol, not marijuana. Do we call alcohol a gateway drug? Not to mention that alcohol is more dangerous in every way. Also, recent studies (Dr. Donald Tashkin) show that marijuana doesn't cause cancer, adding further to its harmlessness.

[ND066]

I think its a horrible idea to legalize a substance that leads to the break-down of society. If you choose to exert your "right" to smoke pot against the well-being of the entire society, you are selfish and uncaring, unloving. It is arrogant and it is self-centered to legalize a substance that will hurt entire society and everyone in it.

[dogmatic31]

hmm...so why is tylenol legal...i got to school with many college kids who smash up tylenol and other legal drugs get just as high as they would off of weed...sorry bud but drugs are drugs...some more potent than others...why is alcohol legal for that matter??answer that

[ND066]

I dont think alcohol should be legal. It seems that Americans have shown that they are incapable of exercising temperance.

[evanrkg]

ND066, how does your current argument against cannabis as a catalyst for the "break-down" of society not relate to alcohol DIRECTLY and more RELEVANTLY? alcohol is the cause of many problems in America.

[ND066]

Thats an arguement for prohibition of alcohol, not legalization of marijuana.

[MAYBEL8R]

Let me ask you; what do you base your claim of MJ leading to the breakdown of society on? is it based upon what's happened in Holland as a result of MJ and other drugs being legalized? or maybe Canada's decriminilazation of it or Denver's for that matter. these are all flourishing societies which have embraced MJ as an acceptable substance for ADULTS to enjoy. do some research b4 talking out of your ass. you're brainwashed I think.

[ND066]

Holy crap! It doesn't take a genius to see that a parent whose only ambition is to get high is going to be derelict in his treatment of his children. Kids need strong parents who model such things as integrity, diligence and work ethic, who value such things as purity, sacrifice and compassion. Come on, use your brain (unless you've already smoked it away).

[MAYBEL8R]

so smoking cannabis in moderation somehow makes you something other than a "strong parent"? that's funny because I'm actually a parent, I smoke every once in a while, and I'm an exemplary parent if I do say so myself. funny too how you described non-MJers such as yourself ppl as having "integrity, dilligence, and work ethic" because, as a young professional, I possess all of those things...along with a deep appreciation of such things as "purity, sacrifice, and compassion".

[MAYBEL8R]

ND066 are you for real? seriously, are you just trying to get a rise outta ppl? you act like ppl who smoke are inhuman, and as if your knowledge on MJ was entirely derived from "Reefer Madness". If you are genuinely this ignorant on the subject, then I believe your statement that I should "use my brain, if I haven't smoked it already" is rendered null as you're obviously not capable of critical thinking yourself.

[ND066]

You must recognize the difference between right and wrong and not just do what you feel like doing. If you are incapable of doing what is right and rejecting what is wrong, as everyone is (including myself) you need to seek God in Christ. He alone is good and makes people good. You must recognize that "its fun" or "lots of people do it" dont make something OK. Lots of people cheat on their wives. Lots of people get divorces. Dont just argue. Ponder these things in your heart. Consider your ways.

[MAYBEL8R]

ah...so this has become a theological discussion. where is it exactly in scripture that it forbids use of this herb which GOD PUT HERE HIMSELF? I am a devout Christian, and so this argument will not work with me. So I am not a good person because I occasionally smoke MJ?! based on what?! You're overgeneralizing and using sensationalism in an Anslingeresque fashion. believe me, I've pondered these things thoroughly...I don't think you have though. I can tell by your very closed minded stance.

[MAYBEL8R]

I fear you've been led astray...you don't have any basis for badmouthing MJ. Except "God doesn't like it"...and that's just arbitrary doctrine that was imposed BY MAN...not God. I never argued "it's fun" or "lots of ppl do it". both are true, but the fact remains that they alone are not reasons to do it. MJ legalization is a personal liberty issue, and addiction is a medical issue. Neither are religious issues in a Christian sense.

[MAYBEL8R]

Correction, addiction can be considered a religious issue in a Christian sense, but the fact remains that MJ IS NOT ADDICTIVE. This has been proven time and time again. Also, it isn't even potentially lethal! Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, even aspirin are potentially lethal when used in excess...but not MJ. Further, it is NOT fair to say occasional use of MJ is tantamount to adultery or divorce when considering morality. That's apples and oranges buddy.

[MAYBEL8R]

in summation ND066, you have a God given right to do what you want with your own body, and think what you want about MJ...NOT to impose what you think is best for your own body and soul on others. The Mj prohibition laws are unconstitutional and have caused untold hardship for GOOD, HONEST, HARD WORKING ppl for too long. ppl who use MJ are not violent, or stupid, or lazy as the propaganda machine would have you believe. smarten up a little, God bless.

[ND066]

Personal liberty? I think you misunderstand our government in its most general form. It is a government of the people. Its not all about freedom to do what you want. Its rule by the people. And the law says, the people say, MJ is illegal. If you wanna change it, you must change the people. And you must go through congress, not the president. He is the upholder of the law, not the maker of the law.

[MAYBEL8R]

lol...your view of our govt. is obviously very askew. listen to yourself "It is a government of the people. Its not all about freedom to do what you want." you're right about having to get congress to approve of stopping MJ prohibition. However, our govt. stopped being truly ruled "by the people" a long time ago.

[MAYBEL8R]

our country was founded on personal liberty and freedom...what defines freedom better than; doing what you want as long as it doesn't harm others? most ppl I talk to have said that MJ should be made legal, taxed, and applied to industry(which, btw, would solve alot of our economic woes as of late). I think you'd be very surprised if an effort were undertaken to truly reach a concensus among the populous about whether or not MJ should be legal.

[MAYBEL8R]

oh yeah, and the Constitution is the highest law of the land. The people's will should be what decides the law(though that's generally not true these days) as long as it doesn't contradict the Constitution. If it does, an ammendment must be made to the Constitution...otherwise the law holds no merit(e.g. MJ prohibition laws). have a nice day! =)

[threesixmafia908]

lots binge on wine...the 'blood of christ' so is that right or wrong? ignorant!

[Jficklen]

And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

[threesixmafia908]

Reefer Madness....haha

[threesixmafia908]

face it...u lose.may knows wats goin on

[MAYBEL8R]

Respect

[threesixmafia908]

truce

[mreisma]

marijuana in general should not be illegal, its our god given right to smoke whatever we want. it's not the governments place to tell us what to smoke and not to smoke. there are hundreds of thousands people dying from regular smoking every year. it's all politics. hemp will destroy the monopoly the industrial industry has. legalize...Ron Paul Revolution.

[ND066]

Come on man. Its our God given right to smash our hands in doors, but that doesn't mean we should do it. "Everything is permissable to me, but not everything is beneficial."

[kansanchief]

yes he did ask his friend there what to say!

Will he be like MITT and go to the LAWYERS before doing anything to help AMERICANS?

THATS PLAIN BS!

[kim20062007]

Obama is real, that's why he answered the question straight up. All these fake politicians wanna go around talking about all their experience, when they can't even handle a question like that. That's why Washington experience amounts to nothing!! Obama '08!!

[AdamBR]

Is it me or did Obama seem to ask his security guy the answer? I think Romney didn't say he won't arrest you because it couyld be used against his stance on medical marijuana. I know one thing Romney would be an awesome president, and I don't think he'll waste the resources to come and arrest you either, should be the best election for years

[holeymaniack]

GOOO ROMNEY.... if he says he is against medical mary J! then He is against MARY J! DUH!!!! what part of that did you not understand? He totally answered the question. He would have your ASS arrested.!

[kansanchief]

and he is going to arrest that man in the wheel chair?

And my grandmother who smokes?

and my family that smokes?

THESE people need to understand, that EVERY family in AMERICA has a SMOKER IN it, thus, THEY WILL BE ARRESTED for DOING SOMETHING to thier body, IN THIER house, on thier TIME, on thier MONEY!

THATS PLAIN IDIOTIC!

[bugsycline]

Mitt shows his true colors in this one...

what an ugly person he is.

Obamba

had to ask the lawyer first....

Ron Paul... 08

Make sure you register and vote in your primary..... Don't let the wacky Mitt in the white house.

[evanrkg]

they can't arrest us all and believe me..

there are A LOT of us.

[MAYBEL8R]

holeymanjack, you sure are a heartless son of a bitch to be a supposed holy man. what if you were in this man's shoes? I believe ppl in the future will look back at our official position on this matter in disgust. MJ should be legal for all purposes as it is by far the least detrimental of ALL drugs....recreational or medicinal.

[karynrae2001]

I was present at a house party where Senator Obama was asked about legalization for medical marijuana. He didn't run from the issue. He stated that it was simply an issue that medical science needed to determine.

The American public has an opportunity of a lifetime available to them. I hope we rise to the challenge. Obama 08--now more than ever.

[karynrae2001]

Incredible. Could it actually be possible that the worst president in the history of the United States is going to be followed by the best? Obama took all the name calling partisan BS out of the issue and cut right to the chase to call it what it is...a waste of our precious resources. Yes, the Justice Department has way better things to do.

[pureuncut100]

Hey man, great video. I could see this tape making it onto MSNBC Hardball or COuntdown.

And no, Romney didnt answer your question at all. He was offensive to you and your situation.

[kwamena123]

The contrast is very obvious. Obama recognizes the 'common man' whilst Romney is so snubbish.
