Ron Paul on CNN Make Drugs Legal March 26 2009

[emeraldjewel26]

weed has 400 harmfull substances ? holly crap what weed did he smoke ? stick to the home grown, no additive's just good ol simple weed

[thehacksrule]

"4 times the tar af regular tobacco smoke"... fuck you, id be dead by now you son of a bitch. its more like 4 times less and its natural not fucking factory made bullshit with toxic machine sludge in it

[battlefieldtalk]

@thehacksrule I agree and why in the holy mother of fuck would i want to buy THC for medical issues in pill form from some drug company who probably added a ton of shit that is far worse for me! NATURAL IS ALWAY BETTER! Its much safer to smoke pot than buy a THC pill!...I do not trust drug companies! they are greedy basters! Ron Paul 2012!

[ScrubzMc]

@battlefieldtalk WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND is that most of the medical benefits DON'T come from THC, but come from the bi-products of it, rendering a THC pill useless. The only way to get the by products is COMBUSTION it.

On another note Ron paul was correct about everything, even about that asshole SHOUTING over him.

[zdkezios]

i like how i will never remember that shit face's name. Go Ron Paul, let's give him a shot at 4 years. Let's see what he can do.

[tetdragon]

legislating against drugs is against the first amendment.

"people have a right to choose what they feel is good for themselves, as long as they dont harm others"

[graffitidave88]

4 times the tar of tobbaco=bullshit the vaporizer is invented u dumb fuck

[jose36792]

THC is in pill form, but that's only 1/61 physco active cannabinoids in the brain when smoked that cause medical healing.

[SickelodeonInc]

i hope Gary Johnson or Ron Paul get elected.... i mean Obama was already president....can't get much fucking worse. haha let's see what happens!

[vaughanr95]

The "gateway theory" is not only illogical, it is proven false

"Do we need more intoxicants in our society?"

They are already in our society, and doing much more damage to it than they have to.

"No medicine is used by smoking"

that's a logical argument , so vapes/brownies ftw

Ron Paul needs to be president

[reinerta]

Ron Paul is awsome, he knows what hes talking about! I usally dont call people retarded, but the other dude has to be a very intellegent retarded person...

[ross817]

No dislikes. That never happens. I'm so happy right now.

[smartcooki]

So stupid. Make it legal and collect taxes on the sales. Save $40 billion dollars from the pointless "war on drugs" and use it to establish free treatment facilities, advertise the risks to kids, and regulate the quality. No one has ever turned down a drug because it was illegal. Making drugs illegal just creates unnecessary cartels and violence.

[mythirdaye]

Earnest doesn't have the mental facilities to engage in productive discourse.

[jayster06]

whoooooooooooa who the fuck does that cock sucker think he is telling lies on live TV.

[anitdragon13]

Ron Paul is 105% right about comparing the prohibition of alcohol and the prohibition of cannabis.

what would happen in the u.s. (if it was legal) is the price (of marijuana) would go down.

therefore Mexican gangsters would have less money to fuel their gang making it less possible to buy guns, kill people who steals from them, and less of a need to smuggle (anything) into the states.

[anitdragon13]

this is like my school you have one thing thats right (private use of cannabis)

then there is the person who tries to control you with unjustful rules that are not even there ex: we can't go to the bathrooms anymore because of freshmen writing bomb threats on the wall.and my friend who has a bad badder went into the bathroom and got kick out of school for 3 days and he had a medical document saying he has a bad badder?!?

[johnny82330]

Ron paul is my hero. Fuck that other guy he is misleading

[Harrydogman]

Screw the idea of liberal or conservative when it comes to this topic....its called hypocryte when you keep it illegal. Gateway drugs are alcohol because i dont even feel like getting stoned or doing coke if im not drunk. REALITY asso le es

[Bristecom]

Ron Paul was pissed. And rightfully so. They didn't even let him talk so he just wasted his time. Very unprofessional interview.

[Cockeye1987]

fuck shit damn fuck you tube is acting really weird right now

[Cockeye1987]

Fuck ernest

[Cockeye1987]

Haaa what a loser!

[moctezuma112]

4:50

Ernest is so rude and has not spine.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. If a drug dealer runs out of weed or wants to increase the chances of his or her customers to come back, then the drug dealer has to encourage or pressure their customers to try out something potent like crack.

Weed should be sold at stores and its up to the customers, without pressure, whether they want to smoke or not. besides its safer than tobacco and alcohol. oh and it cures cancer.

[amanbansil]

I could not have said this any better

[AudioCase]

OMG Earnest is a rude prick.

Im from the UK. It would be a great shame if Ron Paul doesn't become President of the USA. He's an incredible man representing liberty.

[Chaaarge]

they didn't let ron paul speak his mind at all :(

[Castaril]

Let people make their own choice. If they are stupid enough to put harmful drugs in their bodies it is their own choice, and should not be the taxpayer's burden.

[brianlugen]

If you ate hamburgers and fries every day at McDonald's it would be more harmful to you than most drugs. If you made drugs legal than criminals would lose their funding. The war on drugs is a joke, making anything illegal only fuels the crime rate. Most of the drugs sold pass through the corrupt lawmakers, police, mayors, politicians hands before it gets to the people, that is why they keep it illegal they make profit too. Wake Up.

[CaliBoyinJapan]

this guy is a retard, Ron is our saviour. It's simple, if drugs are legal then where is there a job for street dealers. Why is it that it has to be illegal, are adults not responsible? so it's okay to drink the drug alcohol and be a responsible adult but not for anything else?

[TheHampdenRaven]

Freedom is not found in america...... the goverment simply shows us this. If drugs where legal and controlled and taxed we would not have over populated jails that let out murders earlier since of over crowding. What ever happen to freedom of choice? Instead our government decides what we can and can not do! So you call this a free country! Bullshit! As for young kids not smoking pot I would like to know where do they get these statistics? They never asked anyone i know, because its bullshit!

[quarknimble]

whenever ron paul brings up a good point, this retarded fucking dick head says "LETS NOT SURRENDER! LETS NOT SURRENDER!"

excellent point, eh? great logical response isn't it, that to end prohibition is SURRENDER.

[Gregusan]

Prohibition was NOT a disaster, what an ignorant statement. Alcoholism and all the related abuse from it was at RECORD LEVELS prior to prohibition, AND,

per capita consumption of Alcohol never reached pre-prohibition until around the year 2000!!!

That means almost 70 years of a positive effect on society, THANKS TO PROHIBITION.

[TheHampdenRaven]

@Gregusan yea but this is supposed to be a free country right? Whats free about it really? Our goverment wants to tell us whats good for us, and soon smoking tabaco will be illegal! I mean common fuck this country and this so called free society! All thats happening is we are going back to the day when the British ruled the country and said what we can and can not do! Fuck this place really.

[blackicelinkinpark]

yeah legalize !!!!

[tweezas]

LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS!

[jameskillparty]

wow, ron was pissed

[b42w4242]

hey, and to piss off the govornment, you gotta plant pot seeds everywhere. especially in the gardens of your schools churches. itd be kinda nice seeing buds growin everywhere. plant the seeds NOW

[b42w4242]

god damn that pissed me off. how dare he say that shit 2 Ron. marijuana a gateway drug, Ha. i did morphine before i smoked weed. that shit made me wanna open my eyes(or just the opposite) ive done alot of different drugs now. i just quit h 36 days ago. the violence within the drug world is clearly caused by the dealers. they gotta be on their toes cuz the law and thugs are after them. if it was leagal they wouldnt have to be so edgy, sneaky, uptight, and violent.diffenttypes wouldsupplythedrugs

[armydud22]

who gives a shit. people that smoke pot will smoke it either way. so who gives a shit if it is legal or not. just do not get caught.

[kushskunkhaze]

i feel so goddamn bad for ron paul all the time in these interviews

[yamaha4lyf]

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA its nt a gate way drug ur all wrong try asking how many teens smoke it adults smoke it ciggaretts are soooooo much worse and marijuana is not addicting we need to legalize it look at amsterdam they are fine ur acting crazy like if we legalize everything is going to go into chaos THATS NOT TRUE try doing ur research ASSHOLES!!!!! LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!!!!!!!

[absoluteanatomy1]

cigarettes are SO FUCKING BAD

[moctezuma112]

@absoluteanatomy1

yes cigarettes are bad because of the 130 types of chemicals they put in them. i smoke occasionally but i switched to Organic cigs since they have 0 chemicals. its bad still but not as bad as 130 chemicals harmful chemicals god knows what they are for. maybe to kill people faster or something that makes you become addicted to it and you'll be begging for more bringing more profit to big tobacco companies.

Fast Food are so F-ing bad as well....

[rory997]

they just didnt give Ron Paul a fair go on this show

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Ha ha that dude's biggest campaign donor was a trial lawyers' association. Figures. Legalizing ANYTHING would take a big chomp out of their business.

[DudeGoToHellx]

They should have let Ron speak once more, i understand why he was angry, because they let that guy end the arguement with his BS and ron had no chance to counter. DAMN YOU CNN! for a company built by a stoner they should have let him talk again.

[DudeGoToHellx]

The other guy who was talking (didn't catch his name not ron) Well every thing he said was pretty much BULLSHIT, because legalization and regulation would reduce teenage use by more because it would be harder for them to get. Coffee has 800 harmful substances in it. THC is also not the only medical substance in Marijuana and Marinol also has been reported to be less effective by patients who have used both marinol and Marijuana. Well don't believe anything that fucking idiot says.

[wendelljennings]

man if weed was legal do you know how much money the country will have a shit load of money shit i know ill be at the store every day lol but its bull shit i it fries your brain but shit when i have kids do you know wat kind of drugs are going to be out their its crazy beer hurts the fuck out of but the dont give shit but weed the do it dont make sense

[KillSwitch2170]

Gate way drug my ass in amsterdam after they legalized it the use of other drugs went down I feel bad for mr.Paul every time he was going to state something this prick cut him off. If weed is illegal why is alchoal legal. More peole die from drink driving and ciggerettes then weed. Open ur eyes it ain't as bad as they perseive it to be. Do we not live in a free country?

[k3nni]

and you also cant O.D. off weed, you just fall asleep..lol

[pdog78]

o congratulations. u stoped a teen from getting high. yet u go to a bar after a day of work...

[GoldynBlaize]

Make Weed Legal

[simerpreet11]

ur stupide drugs mean alll the stuff fagget

[XanderHunts]

fuck weed the guy just said their is a pill with all the medical values in it as weed got, just take that if your sick. If people want to smoke it they should not be allowed because they get high and turn in to assholes an they are killing them selves by smoking it. If the pill is not good enough their just being inmatuer and need to go fuck off somewhere

[matprithellodave]

"If people want to smoke it they should not be allowed because they get high " WHAT THE FUCK???? what is wrong with getting high, forgetting some of life's problems and feeling good, resposibly as an adult, and then going to work the next mornin? and "they are killing them selves by smoking it." noooooo, it's actually not bad for u .... it gives u lower blood pressure, and relieves stress and stuff, and there is ALOT less tar that tobacco if u use a bong, and tobacco is FAR FAR FAR worse for u

[XanderHunts]

you don't need to get high if your having all those life problems any way, instead of getting high and for getting your problems. try fixing them and facing them instead of getting high and forgeting they exist. and as far as using bongs and all that shit goes, there is no good that can come out of inhaling smoke, there's marinol with all the medicional purposes weed . it's just useless, it would make more sense to legalize taking a shit in public then it would to legalize smoking dope

[ICTN218]

That isn't a valid reason to send pot smokers to jail.

[OriginalJosh01]

that dumb fuck kept over talking Ron Paul. what a rude jerk.

[SamAFox]

Typical "speaker interuptus" of RP by the idot he is trying to educate.

Gate way drug? What a crock! Curiosity is the real gateway!!

The ignoramass is also wrong abut the Supreme Court ruling, it's the other way round!

SamFox

[crazywaldo87]

broken homes..... Cause the FEDs come in.... arrest the parents..... AND SEND THE KIDS TO FOSTER FOSTER HOMES. marijuana is great and for all the uneducated brainwashed people out there i would like to take a moment to say..... FUCK YOU hope you get hit by a drunk driver or die from second hand ciggarette smoke

[LemonAndYoghurt]

yeah RP needs to get some rest first, review/study the way he rhetorizes his viewpoints and come back even sharper and beat that actor named barack obama (great guy that RP.)

[ryost]

campbell brown is married to a neoconservative think tanker and istook is a good buddy of jack abramoff; there's a good possibility that istook was in big PHARMA's pocket when he served in the house, and those people don't want legalized marijuana because if people could smoke a little pot, do you think we would be buying their drugs? shame on campbell brown for barely giving ron paul a chance to respond here.

[Mawingu21]

Ron Paul has gotten a lot of air time the last few months... It's really setting the stage for him to run again for 2012, which of course I'm sure we are all hoping for. He could easily beat Obama in a debate. He completely smoked Stephen Baldwin to the point where Baldwin didn't even put up a fight. If only he weren't so rudely interupted by someone who is an attention whore.

[cvpasteur]

substantively he could maybe beat Obama but he needs to work on his communication skills in order to look good in these debates. take this mini-debate for example. he had good points and i agreed with him on everything but his arguments were all over the place. he needs to learn how to focus his points and say only what's necessary. he got the substance but he needs to work on the form.

[Mawingu21]

Like Bill Maher said, Ron Paul is just exasperated from dealing with idiots in Washington. You have to remember that lately too he's been on TV essentially everyday fighting - he's probably physically tired as well as mentally. A few months ago during the debates and election he was much sharper... He probably just needs some rest. Plus in a debate with Obama or even the primaries, he wouldn't really have to deal with the other person cutting him off a few words into in sentence.

[moronpaul]

"No Bias, No Bull"

This was a flat out botched debate. Now do you understand why BIll O'Reilly has people's mic's cut off?

[CraigKramer]

Ron Paul needs to stop being such a god damn gentleman all the time. Nice guys finish last RP, its the same thing that cost you in the primaries.

[belloOo]

Ron was pissed off. terrible interviewer she should of let ron talk more... no1 wants to here the other idiot .

[MandrikSG]

Lets not surrender! LOL!

[CraigKramer]

seriously, and the way he tried to pass off his 25% reduction statistic as fact and btw R.P is the physician lol

[columbus63]

poor interveiwer
