Smoked Marijuana Has No Medicinal Value! Obama Drug CZAR Kerlikowske

[rhoads83j]

Gil Kerlikowske was a cop, not a doctor.

[irukandji666]

these people will read anything off the teleprompter, even when they dont have any idea what their saying! then they even contradict everything in their argument, by switching the subject to someone who DIED from an FDA approved MEDICINAL medication! when 0 people die from marijuana on a yearly basis! seems like they did the math and get more funding from drug money than tax money from legalization

[HomeboyHomegrown]

I used to get serious panic attacks and after smoking weed for a week, had about a Q in that week and have been blazing most nights since and I haven't had one sign of a panic attack, it just calms me and makes me feel so happy, its like a person that's there for me all the time who I can go to and spend nights alone with jamming to tunes and feeling free. Legalize it.

[gordddyle]

dude weeed is fucken gold....... make it legal make some money .. make ppl happpy .... peace in the world

[Blunted206]

Fuck SPD pigs this just goes to show how smart they are and the fact that the captain of these bastards is now the drug czar? god help this country!!!

[volcom13xx]

obama is no better then bush

FUCK YOU OBAMA YOU SUCK

[TheSmoketokeandchoke]

@PHATBOY THAT THE PLAIN TRUTH

[phatboyfromla]

Flat out LIE. Millions with seizure disorders and muscle spasm/MS, etc disorders have immediate relief when smoking Cannabis. Another federal government puppet who CANNOT tell the truth because he is ordered to lie by his handlers. Guess who that is? Companies selling synthetic medicine. They will market Cannabis to us at a price and will never allow legalization. While millions suffer and die at their hands. Keep up the lies buddy. We know the truth even if you cannot say it. Fascist America.

[belchingdonkeyy]

that is an absolute load of shit.

why the fuck is this man our drug czar?

does he listen to any scientific research on THC whatsoever?

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

smoked marijuana obviously has no medical value because its been smoked already and has no THC.

ummm phucking duh??

stupid Gil

marijuana has killed ZERO

[islandbee]

"Smoking marijuana is dangerous and has no medicinal value." I love how Gil just says at the end "this is a medical question and we'll leave it at that." Don't fucking say marijuana is dangerous when you are not qualified to make that assessment! I live in Seattle and I am appalled by this quote. This is not the man for this job, and neither is Obama!

[MetalxParade]

fuck the eye on the back of the dollar bill

[Jumanji0028]

If the drug CZAR won't talk about cannabis then who on Obama administration will?

Obama laughed it off when it came up,(asshole)

[TheUrbanSurvivalistS]

Wow God gave man all the medicines he would need in natural products like marijuana.

You can tell these guys are just making sure their buddies in Mexico keep producing it and giving them a piece of the action.

Embarrassing to be living in a time with such ignorance. I fee like watching the Salem Witch trails....unintelligent people proving they have no idea what they are saying. Sad really....

I'm not a pot smoker but I pray one day you guys will become free of Government telling you stop.

[Neavris]

The arguments potheads come up with are really bad. I'm not convinced it is a good thing to legalize and promote drug that make people so lazy and dumb. Coffee is legal, take some and find a job!

[WeRtheVoices]

Actually, I'm pretty sure the argument such as the one your stupid ass came up with is really bad. Great job stereotyping "potheads" as being lazy and dumb. It's time to turn off your local news station, pull your head out of your ass, and realize the truth. Stop believing all the propaganda bullshit you hear from the media and the government. Oh, and even if you feel pot makes you stupid, who is the government to tell me what to put in my body? It's a human rights issue too. -A Pothead

[ipathbomb92]

Ignorance. You have no clue what you are talking about, Steve Jobs smoked Cannabis, look what his "lazy and dumb" self did. You will never be convinced because you will never give it a fair chance and educate yourself.

[Imnogre]

The drug czar is saying that smoked marijuana is useless. In fact the only good THC is the THC that drug companies have spent millions developing. That THC is great stuff. Never mind that it costs more then real pot. Never mind that the people who use it say it doesn't work. Who cares about that crap. Clearly we better take only the drugs they say or else they will put us in jail.

[Invalid568]

This guy is a jerk. Nothing's gonna "change" with this guy.

Sad. Typical Cop.

[IonicStormFront]

Good to have you back CSJ........Unbelievable that they suspended your accounts. Youtube has certainly reached a break point.

I think an awakening has begun however am horrified the "tiny tubes of information" will soon be greatly restricted and modified. Just returned to the interwebs after a nice camping trip so not sure when they suspended your accounts but would sure like to know the outcome if they reply..

[BlackKingX]

He's right.

Smoking ANYTHING is a bad idea. He isn't saying marijuana itself is "bad"(so don't get your panties in a knot people, there's other ways to use it), he's saying smoking it is. Smoke(any type) is not meant to be inhaled.

[MedicalMarijuanaMini]

it's none of his business!

"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."

Thomas Jefferson

[BlackKingX]

Times change, quotes get out-dated.

[MedicalMarijuanaMini]

that quote is more relevant now than ever!

[BlackKingX]

I'm going to assume for a second here that McDonalds wasn't around when Thomas Jefferson said that. :)

Look at what happens to people if they're free to eat and take whatever the hell foods/medicines they want to. If the Government didn't dictate foods and drugs, then coca-cola would still have cocaine in it and babies could buy packages of cigarettes!

[MedicalMarijuanaMini]

freedom happens!

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. - Thomas Jefferson

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another; shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement - Thomas Jefferson

[BlackKingX]

You're talking like you're quoting some sort of scripture. Thomas Jefferson was a man, not a god. What he said was his own personal opinions, not divine fact.

[MedicalMarijuanaMini]

cool. i want freedom and you don't, that's all.

"The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds we are trying to save. Until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, they will fight to protect it."

[Imnogre]

I heard the former drug czar say pot should be illegal because it is SO very bad it causes 4 to 6 times more cancer then tobacco. But doctors can tell you exactly how many people die every year from tobacco but ask about pot deaths & they don't have the numbers for that. The latest reason is Pot is used by drug dealers as currency to buy other more lethal drug chiefly from mexico & south America. Personally I don't believe they need to buy our pot they grow their own. Makes me wonder what next.

[psych0funk]

70-hour work weeks? Oh no! Someone donate this guy a lazyboy, some funions, and some good blueberry chronic.. That might help relieve your "stress" on the "war on drugs" Go get those evil doer pot-smokers, you might just save us from totally laid-back individuals.

[Chemicalogic]

Clearly he's not smoking the good shit. I'm not sure where he's getting his info from, could be his ass, could be out of thin air, hard to say.

[Neavris]

Why do drug addicts make such a big deal out of this issue. they can just stop smoking pot if they don't want any trouble with the law... It's not like anybody is forcing them to be drug addicted potheads.

[dreamdewil]

@Neavris

"they can just stop smoking pot if they don't want any trouble with the law..."

ARGH......... the stupid, it burns!!!

[Navywxman]

Neavris - drug addicts!? I personally dont do anything except motrin if I have a headache. That doesnt change teh fact that the drug laws like this new czar are a fraud designed to do harm.

At least a pothead can stop using pot but I doubt you could stop being stupid.

[WayToTheGrave]

Why do gun owners make such a big deal out of gun control. they can just stop owning guns if they don't want any trouble with the law... It's not like anybody is forcing them to cling to weapons in the name of "self-defense."

I don't even take tylenol for headaches, but your logic is laughable. The most dangerous drugs are the legal ones. The ones that killed Michael Jackson. If the government said owning cars was illegal, would you just sell yours? Car accidents kill more people than pot

[powrslave]

Yes, just like china and their one-child policy. If you don't want any trouble don't have children.

Meanwhile, let's stop by 7-11 and buy a 40oz beer. It's in a convenient container and LEAGL! (now)

[sheeplols]

The male interviewer is basically giving the czar a blowjob.

[Navywxman]

Obama's drug czar is a liar. Smoked marajuana does have medicinal value. It has been shown to relieve everything from glaucoma to nausea from chemotherapy and more.

It looks like we are going to have a continuation of the same asinine drug laws which is all about doing harm, not helping anyone.

I guess they want to continue to use drugs as a scare tactic, a tool for incarcerating who they deem to be superfluous people, justify and fund covert action internationally, & to hurt more people

[xblott]

What he won't say but was hinting at was the fact that while cannabis can have beneficial effects, (as any doctor will tell you) smoking is among the worst possible ways to ingest anything. It's the reason why vaporizers exist.

[Navywxman]

xblott - I havent seen him hint at such a thing. There are many ways to utilize the positive effects of marajuana but the point is is that he patently lied when he said there is no beneficial effects to smoking marajuana.

It is not the healthiest way but I'm sure someone suffering from chemo trying to combat cancer would be deeply concerned if smoking it can help them aleviate the deleterious effects of chemo and cancer

[Butterflybreakfast]

I see where this is going. Pretty soon, if you have anything in your mouth you'll be a "suspect of smoking"...never mind being spotted yards away chewing on a straw. Yikes!

[masterkushXan]

What a complete fucking retard

[larma7]

People who deem plants "illegal" are absolutely INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

[motorolarules]

The FDA is not the beginning or the end of anything! And a drug czar that is in favor of continuing the money drain of the war on drugs? What a surprise. Once he ask about MJ I could listen to know more.

[NikoKun]

The FDA is NOT the end all authority on the medical realities of Marijuana.

Sure, smoking it might not be the 'best' method. But vaporizers exist, cooking it into food exists, and there are several other methods of using it.

And REGARDLESS of what he or the FDA say, there are MILLIONS of people who DO SMOKE Marijuana, and DO get medical benefits from it.

To deny that is a mental illness.

Publicly saying Marijuana has no medical value is a LIE. And he DID generalize when he said it... Ignorant.

[tintala]

hahahahah 7th graders he had a discussion with????? WTF?

[tintala]

no the wake up call is: over 800,000 AMERICANS arrested for cannabis possession and jailed.

HEMP/CANNABIS= crack /heroine....LOL

now that's a wake up call you fucktard!

[sonofaglitch2]

Why do we have a drug king anyway? Oh yeah, illegitimate, tyrannical government.

Who cares if cannabis is not medicinal (which it can be), if you want to smoke it, eat it, stick it in your ass, in the privacy of your own home, go for it. Free people making free choices, just like the Constitution advises.

I'm just waiting for Obama to appoint a junk food czar to dictate what kind of cheeseburgers and candy bars are permissible.

[MI6AgentNo007]

So his excuse for making the Medical Marijuana statement was because he was delirious from hiking all day in the 107 degree heat? I think that guy should be put in a room with the hundreds of thousands of doctors and patients that are living proof that he is wrong.

[PTTurboe]

300,000 people AT LEAST die by doctors!

[mejesus]

Welcome to America. I was talking to a juge the other day. He told me if I didn't like what was going on in my country, that I should just leave the country. Fascism.

[MikeRoch6969]

the ignorance and corruption of america's government is astounding...and how much you want to bet that the pro-pot croud would not let into the meetings

[antivirusdesign]

Haha you can't OD on weed.

And it's same same fucking effect smoked as it is eaten, minus maybe the intensity and the length.

What a dipshit shill.

[creamrising]

Kerlikowske you are nothing but an idiot puppet. STFU!

[forloveoffilm]

My goodness. We changed so much we are back where we started. It's almost like W is still in office.

[lovehaightorg]

how many states legalized medical marijuana, 13?

smoking marijuana is NOT beneficial?

[HOSSERLEGALIZE420]

Fuck you You Fat Pig!

[lovehaightorg]

Is Kerlikowske a scientist?

He holds a B.A. and M.A. in criminal justice from the University of South Florida in Tampa. He is a graduate of the National Executive Institute at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Academy in Quantico, Virginia.

He's a fucking cop

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

they think people will believe anything they say.

[FreeganGleaner]

Q: What happened when Gil Kerlikowske stated that smoking marijuana has no medicinal value?

A: He lost all character, dignity, and honor as well as any respect that I might have accorded him by the office he holds.

He knows that what he's saying is a bald faced lie because of the disclaimer @ 0:33 "we had been hiking in a hundred and seven degree weather ... " in other words, 'suffering from heat stroke caused me to lie through my teeth that smoking pot is all bad and no good'

Idiot

[iTellYouNoLie]

more change?
