Rot in hell, Anslinger.

Rot. In. Hell.

[CocoKing238]

ummmmm no

[AresCassell]

In which cemetery is Anslinger buried? I want to take a mssive shit on his grave and then light up a fattie .

[TheAshiiMiah]

@AresCassell its at Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania Lol!

[RCHSwackness]

WTF litteraly thats all wrong technally what he just said was all about beer

[llK1NGp1Nll]

theres barely anything negative about marijuana by itself, but when you add the law, and society's views on the plant, then you have something thats dangerous.

[brandongibsonstudio]

this isnt funny... at all. whoever made this is a dumbshit

[firegod4311]

they gave us lays and scandal

[squmak]

weed is a plant, not a drug.

[sandmonkey102]

well cocaine is basically a plant too but i know what you mean

[silverhawkslugger]

my herb-smokin bretheren, if you notice, this is what Anslinger said about weed. Thanks to him and Wm. Randolph Hearst, they were able to save Hearst's precious paper mill b/c Hearst saw hemp as his biggest threat and couldn't compete with the fact that acre for acre hemp produced much more paper than wood pulp. His only upper hand was the fact that harvestin the "paper fibers" from hemp was difficult and he had the patent for the machine to do so. greed made marijuana illegal.

[TTYLLEERR]

Vilonce? MY ASS~

[Mr420isthebest]

this vid pissed me off in 2 ways. 1)the words were moveing to fucking fast an tht really pissed me off an idk y. 2) these r all lies an its fucking bullshit!

[BoyGotBlazed420]

White ppl mess up everything...anyone ever notice that? no offense to the white ppl are cool

[Ellersiek]

None taken.

it was white americans in the first place that caused worldwide outlaw on this plant.

[sandmonkey102]

well not always, example: Zimbabwe, Liberia

[Killzor420]

actually some people say it makes u lazy ya know. when i was smoking when i had no job(got laid off) i would smoke i would begin to think that i needed to get off my ass and find a job because I looked like a loser. Im now the ceo of a major company. and I still smoke. but now when I smoke I have a clear conscious. I just wished I was high when I went to school. lol

[silverhawkslugger]

and this company is what? and are you hiring?

[x11115]

fuck em break the law they can't imprison everyone for doing something harmless. i masturbate to dirty movies too should that be a crime too since it's something i enjoy when i can't get a woman lol..

[TheWalefan]

they dont no because they havent tested it out cuz they are fucking stupid or they just want us to buy their medicine and hospitals and shit will lose buisness its all a conspiracy i swear!! they want more more more more money!!

[ughre]

Smoking herb will make me kill my brother?

No.. Smoking herb makes me want to hug my brother and stops me from killing myself.

[s7raus]

WELL FK U ASSLINGER

[mightymegaman12]

Weed is the best. i never have any Violent tendancies. i dont think about it. im calm...

[amir565]

more people die from alcohal than all drugs combined..

alcohal is physically addictive AND mentally

weed is mentally addictive

no medicinal use for being drunk

no confirmed dealths from weed

overdose

-HONESTLY how many people do you know that get high, and have the energy to kill someone, and now think how many people get put in hospitals from fights while drunk?

[m4sp84]

Marihuana isn't mentally addictive at least for healthy minds who use it for fun, I've left it from time to time, there was a whole year gap because my gf didn't like it. When I smoke I'm also able to reduce stress, focus, get things done, and enjoy every litle thing that happens on my day... Nevertheless you've gotta learn how to control it and use it for your benefit. Cocain in the other hand DOES make you VIOLNET, DOES kill you and others, and completely ruins your life.

[1fightforright23]

yeah go for a jog once a week to get it out your system naturally obviously not on a high day!

[paulrpmg]

@m4sp84 If we had full legalization it would be kept away from the hard drugs.. you never know what a drug dealer has in store for you... kids start by trying marijuana and get into harder drugs BECAUSE of it's prohibition. With full legalization you wouldnt have access under a certain age.

[pamella6969]

yeah ...i dont have a brother ..smoke on little lady ....what an asshole Anslinger is ...

[xxxDirge]

actually, its "was", but yeah I hope he's sucking cocks in hell right now.

[tomtrigger15]

i guarantee there is more than 100,000 weed smokers in usa apparently there is like 20,000 weed smokers in the uk and that is bullshit! i bet theres 20,000 in my hometown alone

[SmokeyMacPopkinZ]

fuckin fagget ass bitch

[tthawt]

Call 973-409-3274 and press pound. It's a vote to legalize weed. Obama said he would consider it if he gets a million votes. Please PLEASE help out the cause. More than 15 billion dollars a year will be saved in marijuana legal cases, not to mention weed will actually be legal in the United States.

wow this is real i called it but i dnt rele believe marijuana will be legalized....

[peniswrinkle91]

that video sucked ass and lied. weed isnt addicting you fuckin cock loaf

[Hinrik91]

dude, its dudes like you that make us smokers look bad. The purpose of the video was to show the reasons, not good reasons, for making weed illegal. those were the words that got people to go against it, although the true reasons were the timber, oil and tobacco industry.

[MagiiC416]

soo true - and it even says at the end

"Lies and Racism are the reasons why marijuana is illegal"

... lmaoooo

[readingislife]

greetings, I was recently in Amsterdam and smoked pot. really, the only effect was an overall calm feeling and heightened awareness. no dangerous aspect sat all

[jmpthedmx]

i smoke KUSH all the time and when i do i drive better and it motivates me to get shit done that i need to do. to be honest im more lazy when i dont smoke KUSH. i know a lady that smoked cigs all her life and now she has health problems. shes 64 years old. i also know a lady thats 74 who smokes KUSH and shes perfectly healthy!!!! I WILL NEVER STOP SMOKING KUSH!!!!!!!

[HaNdsoFBLoodCss]

yeah :P i don't smoke (i'm against smoking ) but weed is GOOOOOOOD....:)

[firegod4311]

@HaNdsoFBLoodCss but it is 

[nicksk8s]

fuck the dea im a much more peace ful person now that i smoke.

[tintala]

Henry Anslinger Created the DEA , so that He and ANDREW MELLON could lump in HEMP/cannabis in the same category, it put it in direct competition with dupont and their synthetic petrol based nylon. Dupont was an oil conglomerate, which now, ,makes everything that goes into building houses as well as nasty fertilizers that are killing this world. DUPONT ARE KILLERS and MURDERERS!

[retrokid1992]

FUCK THE DEA!

[R3TU4NmyP13]

See? Racism is the cause of all horrible, unforgivable, and retarded events!

[norkalishd]

Rated R for Retarded

[sullins007]

u kidding me alchool is so much worse u stumble u get hangovers u throw up u cant drive u cant talk weed u can do all them things fuck that weed is wayyy safer. what do u expect tho GOD created it.lol

[free00to00ryhme]

fun fact: anything is addictive y do u think mc donalds is doing so well? y do u think cigs r doing so well? and liqour there r things in this world that r 1000000000x worse for u than weed try your prescriptions that u can OD on now weed u REALY got to TRY to od from it which is nearly impossible

[amazingness17]

sweetnicky, you should try some chronic before you put it down. im not addicted to pot but i like it so i CHOOSE to do it again not because i HAVE to. if you think im bad tempered go look at someone who is using black tar or coke. weed is one of the healthiest things that enters you, most of the food you eat probably harms you more than marajuana

[sweetnicky666]

if you want to smoke it thats fine but it pisses me off to be honest.i think it makes people paranoid and bad tempered when they cant have it,its also expensive,i dont know why but i cant respect dope heads or any kind of addicts,i can understand why and how they might get that way and i can empathise but i just dont need it in my life.

[l4stResort]

LOL

I used to fight people for fun back before i smoked sadly..

Now im all for peace and love because of the herb, im a better person

[Samanuell]

hey guys speaking as a white guy when i get high im totally into black chicks, cant help myself

[jonnykiller]

i lolled so hard xD

[bielo123]

if anything alcohol should be illigal because i pesonaly find it more dangerous that weed CUZ i got reel drunk one time and people told me i was throwing up and picking fights the next day i remember waking up in a hospital with a broken arm cuz i fell and i dont remember a single second on the other hand weed is safe cuz if i get really fucked up on weed i remember every thing and im more conscience of what im doing and ive never had a problem only on alcohol do i get hurt

LEGALIZE IT!!!

[whipper0]

idiots the maker of this video meant for it to be sarcastic....

[ZionBong]

hahaha

[gobletO]

thx whipper0 - most of the commenters here apparently don't get to the end.... the entire video consists of quotes from bastard Harry Anslinger when our friend cannabis was being demonized and subsequently banned.....

[cm95]

LOL wrong, Cannabis does make you feel sexually turned on, But, By a statement from the DEA's own Administrative Law Judge Francis Young has declared that "marijuana in its natural form is far safer than many foods we commonly consume." A survey of the attitudes of people of America expressed concerning the dangers associated with the use of the two drugs indicated that the population sample was heavily biased against alcohol and in favor of Cannabis.

[Yohoho151rum]

Haha like the vid. These are all the real reasons Marijuana is illegal... Two words "Reefer Madness"

[poisonfrog10]

wait, my bad. EVERYONE uses bud.

[poisonfrog10]

you are hella wrong. Most of the marijuana users are white.

[gobletO]

not me - anslinger. did you see the end of the vid?

[TheAshiiMiah]

@poisonfrog10 dude, most of em are black all. due to the fact jamaicains grow and is the source of marajuana they are all marjuana smokers and are BLACK

[x1darkstar1x]

marijuana doesnt cause fihts or wars it calms the brain and there is no racism or fighting when you smoke marijuana your actually more friendly and recent studies show that marijuana doesnt cause cancer or blacken your lungs it cleans you lungs im sorry but if you think its bad for you why did god put it on this earth

[kbone620]

you guys didnt get the point of the video, they posted it to show how ridiculous it was on how the drug czar viewed marajuana. i think its awesome cause it shows that its illeagal for stupid reasons.. they dont have to get there facts strait, they need to get evidence that anyone could view as factual evidence.. the only ridiculous part of this video is that someone acctually took the time to make it.

[cubo998]

omfg this video sucks all that crap came out of another video thats says a lot of stupid shit like marijuana turns people into bloodthirsty murders, fuck that i am going to smoke a fat ass J.

[gobletO]

uh, duh, quotes from reefer madness era - did you get to the end?

[imasmackyoux3]

wow

[bOnGsMoKe8]

why is marijuana illegal? cuz of heartless peice of shit moron republicans!

[gobletO]

neocons.

[hurricanecomin2day]

I think there r a little more than 100,000 smokers. Get your facts strait.

[gobletO]

george strait - duh

[blackheart747]

this video is total crap...in the 60's everybody was smoking marijuana.. the hippy's.. where they voilent?..

[gobletO]

clue for a dollar.... clue for a dollar

[Derek799]

what the fuck is wrong with some white people, again I'm saying some especially back in the old days, greedy fucks, not saying all, saying most back then.

[robinbrown1983]

I have no qualms with anyone who wishes to legalize cannabis on civil rights grounds or any other grounds other than health benefits. argue on grounds you can win like how legalization may help lower crime and prison populations. just don't go shouting that it has never killed or any lies like that. it does kill through causing cancer, it also have other negative effects. i support anyone who fights to legalize on civil rights grounds... but to all those who say its harmless... GIVE REFERENCES

[batkev]

this is just silly. cannabis is a safe drug if used right.

think about DRUG USE AND DRUG ABUSE!!!

cannabis dose not kill or make u violent.

i think the guy who made this is on about alcohol.its people who have been brainwashed by the goverment who think cannabis is bad.

look it up and then no the truth. also i like to point out i dont even smoke cannabis. i no a few old people who smoke it as it helps with illness. look that up to.

[jimopenup]

I think you missed the end.

[gobletO]

seems like a lot of these comment posters did. Making a bad name for us.

[robinbrown1983]

"the carcinogenic properties of marijuana smoke are similar to those of tobacco" this is just for all those people who say it doesn't cause cancer oh and here is my source. If anyone wants to argue then have a medical journal reference to back your argument. Zhang, Z., Morgenstern, H., Spitz, M., Tashkin, D., Yu, G., Marshall, J., Hsu, T., and Schantz, S. (1999)

Marijuana Use and Increased Risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev., Dec; 8: 1071

[gobletO]

tashkin

[jaredhutcheson]

Everyone who thinks marijuana should be legalized needs to know this kind of stuff and be able to intelligently refute the common myths. If you just sit on your ass in a cloud of smoke saying, "Yeah maan, legalize it!" without actually doing anything then guess what, nothing gets done!

[kurdtkobain2707]

was anslinger the nefew of the one who appointed his nefew

[johnsussdorff]

Legalize it! Ron Paul 2008!

[GrifsRiffs]

fuck that son a bitch anslinger!

smoke weed everyday

[jaredhutcheson]

If you smoke weed everyday then you're a stoner and you give the rest of us moderate smokers a bad name.

[poisonfrog10]

no, not true.

[highchekker]

Anslinger was just a puppet, hope the devil plays now with him hehe. Peace

[heinz454]

Anslinger is a racist fuck... His dad was from Switzerland and his mom was from Germany. Racist? I think so.

[401Hammer]

Its not about race, thats just an excuse, its about money.

[bassplaya84]

Fuck Anslinger. That bastard fucked it up for all of us.

[elflotador]

silly americans....still fucking against weed...Dont you remember? like in the second world war...the american goverment made an arregement with mexican goverment to plant weed...just to give it to their lovely fighting soldiers.... its true that happened because youre shity goverment dont wanted it to get their hands dirty....so let the mexicans plant it and that how the mexican mafia start...with their own goverment doing the traffic... thats one of the reasons weed is illegal...

[buckthegreat]

amen...

fuck Harry J. Anslinger !!

[hookedonweed1]

Hell yeah. I hope he's burning in hell for bringing up such chaos over something that is a gift from God.

[gobletO]

yep

[HowToBeAZerkerPure]

@buckthegreat

thumbs up times 420
