  • Politicians smoke pot too probably

  • This is why I like Ron Paul cause he'll just talk to people openly. Not trying to flop around on his words.

  • SPEAK OUT... THE ONLY REASON HE WONT BE PRES. IS PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN! TELL EVERY ONE RON PAUL IS OUR LAST CHANCE.

  • iwoulda said "fck yeah!"

  • Ron Paul for president,we need a wise man like him.

  • Eat it raw bro.

  • ZimM804: Please support your opioids will kill you statement. The endogenous opioids are altering our brain chemistry most of the time, and allow people to sense less pain or feel normal. All your experiences and perceptions are influenced by these reactions. Without them, humans wouldn't have evolved to this point.

    I'm sick of you bigoted, gung ho law enforcement people who should have spent more time in science class, instead of fantasizing over your power trips.

  • @iatrogenicsteve Of course i'm not speaking of organic neuro chemical reactions, I'm talking about artificial stimulants. Hence the "artificially alters" and yes opioids will kill you too.

  • @venusbrain Marijuana is highly psychologically addicting. Its effectiveness as a proven pain management medication for chronic pain is nowhere near the traditional opoioids which have received far greater scientific scrutiny. Lies are pervasive. If you didn't watch so much MSNBC indoctrination, maybe you'd realize this.

    re: Mitt Romeny - His aim was to appeal to his moderate base that wouldn't touch the medical marijuana issue. I wil agree this stance marginalizes debate.

  • @iatrogenicsteve pain management is only a small part of medical cannabis. I have moderate Aspergers syndrome and have used it as treatment for years. Before I started using cannabis I was taking 1.5 grams of Depakote (prescribed by a docter) every nite and now I am left with permanent muscle spams that make me look like a PCP addict when they act up. Without cannabinoids in my system i cant even walk into a convenience store without having a panic attack.

  • @letitbeknown840 You pose an interesting paradox of medicine. Marijuana has effects which can't be qualified by scientific method. Typically panic attacks are precipitated by cannabis (one example I'm sure you'll love is the Demi Moore 911 case). In yours, you state a different reaction. Most medical practitioners would rather have consistent and predicable responses from medications they prescribe

  • @iatrogenicsteve Its this simple, if I missed a dose of depakote or paxil by 2 hours I could become a danger to myself and others. If I miss my cannabis by a day i am just a bit irritable. Which of these is safer? If you have ever taken those medicines you would know that you dont live....you merely exist. There hasnt been nearly enough research into cannabis for docters to have any clue of possible effects of all the THOUSANDS of strains. F.Y.I CBD is more effective than THC.

  • @iatrogenicsteve Also with the exception of allergic reactions, contaminants, and being stupid cannabis has never killed anyone except a monkey that was suffocated on the smoke. This death was used in a report to discredit cannabis for either medical or recreational use.

  • @iatrogenicsteve My bullshit-o-meter just burst into a white-hot ball of fire. First of all, I don't pay much attention to any cable news, let alone MSNBC. I only give credence to scientific studies, of which their are thousands available on the uncensored internet. Cannabis has been scrutinized by science countless times. The few studies that have concluded that it's harmful have all been proven to be fraudulent. Why give a fuck if it's less effective when it's safe?

  • @venusbrain Compared to opioids, cannabis has only been used a short time for medical evaluations. If people feel some relief from its use, that's a subjective response. The opioids have lock and key mechanisms in the human brain, suggesting their use is more organic than a GABBA-pathway hallucinogen. And I agree, this debate should be about science and not what's morally acceptable to society.

    My mission is to make chronic pain meds as acceptable as medical marijuana

  • Mitt Romney is such a fucking shill. I can't believe he walked away from the young man with muscular dystrophy. WE NEED RON PAUL!! IF ROMNEY WINS, WE'RE ALL FUUUUUCKED

  • Probably because its an herb and not a pharmaceutical drug. They don't want competition in the Big Pharma Industries. You can grow Marijuana at home, how's that going to pan out for Big Pharma!

  • @caroln1858 Your anti-big business argument is flawed. Marijuana is already freely available via legal medical marijuana evaluations, cannabis clinics and underground growing. The joke is anyone can go to an evaluation, respond to simple prompts and receive a med marijuana card - while real chronic pain patients have the impossibly difficult burden of dealing with an oppressive DEA, fearful physicians and social stigmas.

  • @iatrogenicsteve  The fact they won't allow it to be legal to everyone, circumvents the problem at large, to big pharma, which doesn't like competition. If people are shot for buying marijuana on the street, which occurs frequently, then it's not free to be used as needed. Big Pharma accounts for one of the largest drug dependent agencies in the USA and the world, but no one cares about that. Why? Because they put a stigma on Herbals accounting them DANGEROUS due to Pharma!

  • @caroln1858 How is an underground pot economy going to affect Big Pharma? Are we going to have pharmaceutical reps in our basements?

    The underground nature is completely free enterprise in spirit in taking control away from Federal prostitutes like you.

  • @caroln1858 I haven't read one story of people being shot for marijuana misdameanors, but the DEA has used its big guns to bust doctors and displace patients onto the street.

    As an underground drug that has circumvented the DEA's control, marijuana is already a defacto legal drug; anyone can openly buy it from cannabis clinics freely advertised in most local publications. Therefore the pharmacuetical industry certainly isn't going to waste its resources in this arena

  • @venusbrain Its benifits are proven but it's stigma keeps illegitimate, hence illegalization. To take the position that it's harmless is niaeve. Anything that artificially alters the chemistry of the brain is potentially dangerous. Long term use can change you psycologically forever. Smokin weed adds another layer of danger. Any smoke, even barbeque, cuts off oxygen to the brain and blackens the lungs.U ever clean out a bowl or a bong? That resen is in your lungs too

  • @ZimM804 "Anything that alters the chemistry of the brain is potentially dangerous"? What about the organic neuro-chemical reactions occuriing all the time? The mind is truly dangerous...

    And you people with your 'proven' - compared to what? Opioids are the indisputable gold standard of off effectivenes for the management of chronic pain.

  • @iatrogenicsteve Opioids are also the gold standard of addiction and dangerous side-efffects. Cannabis has none of those. You big-government/big-pharma shills claim cannabis has been "proven" to be dangerous, but compared to what, and with what methods of study? The only "studies" that show any danger intentionally caused harm by doing things like asphyxiating test animals. If you haven't found overwhelming scientific evidence of its safety, you're clearly not trying.

  • There is only one hope for America, that hope is Ron Paul. All other cannidates are corupt paid for puppets.You could allmost call Mr. Paul a prophet.He predicted most of the misfortune this country has endured the last 10 years.Paul the Prophet ........ sounds pretty good .

  • One person took the truth to the knee

  • Bring your pens with you on election day and make sure to write Ron Paul in for president!

  • the fact that i can probably believe everything that comes out of this mans mouth continues to amaze me.

  • @TheAngryarchangel Truth can be very powerful...

  • @TheAngryarchangel You must have, at some point, swallowed the "red" pill. (in reference to the movie The Matrix lol). The blue pill (blissful ignorance) seems to not be in oral form...It comes at you through the TV media I guess.

  • Ron Paul needs to be more aggressive and consisting on his facts and just speak up!!!!

  • @Homework04 I was listening to a radio talk show while driving and a caller asked Dr. Paul a common interview question "what do you think is your greatest weakness?"

    Ron said "I think I could do better at articulating my message...I always try to work on it but while the messenger isn't perfect, the message is"

    Could you imagine if Dr. Paul was as practiced an orator as someone like Newt or Obama? It's sad that the people care about so much. I'm voting for Dr. Paul no matter what.

  • The best thing about Dr. Paul's response " IT WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!

  • Well dammit...... I might just have to vote for Roonnnnnyyy.

  • @wtfareuthinking1 I would you to your own ID!!!

  • EVERYBODY LIKE RON PAUL VIDES TO SHARE WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS!

  • subtitles for the romney part here /watch?v=ERonE77PjH8

  • dont leagalize it. just decriminalize it

  • I wish he would bring to the forefront *how* they justify doing it; that's scary, and he could really motivate people. Congress says because they have the right to make treaties, they can do whatever they want, Constitutional or not, to enforce that treaty. Think about that: using that logic, they could take away any Constitutional right at all by just making an international treaty saying that they will.

  • @saberswordsmen1 Except that they can't make unconstitutional treaties.

  • Comment removed

  • @pdavid24 Tell them that. Most of the power in the Controlled Substances Act and the powers given to the DEA and others were a result of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. True, it was made de facto illegal via the Marihuana Tax (also unconstitutional), but most of the problems today stem from the 1961 Convention. It should have needed an amendment, just as prohibition did.

  • mitt romney disliked this

  • But we can absolutely use the Federal government to destroy me

  • @YoonzeRibran What? It's true

  • @Yoonzeribram what? It's true

  • Just a bunch of pot heads that want weed to legitimized

  • @ZimM804 seriously end your own life. You waste air when you breathe.

  • @YoonzeRibran you need more CO

  • @ZimM804

    So the man who asked the question, with a dying illness, is "a bunch of potheads"? Dude go fuck off on a Mitt Romney video.

  • @MercyIsFatal You're jacking off to the wrong people, dude.

  • @iatrogenicsteve I knew it Obama's lover!!!

  • @ZimM804 Just a bunch of homogenized white people wanting their sanitized lives

  • @iatrogenicsteve please leave race out of this.

  • @xTHUNDERCLEASx okay, just a bunch of homogenized human droids wanting their lives sanitized

    I'm going to say more: Why we have a system that allows a non-proven Schedule I drug to be so prevalently used as a painkiller - and is easier to obtain than food stamps -when there are already proven, legitimate painkillers that the DEA wishes to stamp out is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

  • @iatrogenicsteve Cannabis doesn't actually meet any of the criteria to be Schedule I. It's not dangerous, it's not addictive, and it has countless valid medical uses.

  • @venusbrain exactly and by the very definition of a schedule 1, it cannot have any medicinal use whatsoever. if it has no medicinal use then why is medical marijuana being prescribed and legalized all over the country. It has been used for thousands of years and we have the audacity to think it cannot help us?

  • @ZimM804 Weed doesn't need to be legitimized; it's already legitimate. Science has done that for us long ago. The only "studies" to conclude that it's harmful have been proven to be fraudulent. Cancer? Saying it causes cancer because it has carcinogens is like saying Earth's atmosphere isn't breathable because it has carbon dioxide in it. There's so much beneficial stuff in it that it has the opposite effect. Brain damage? That study suffocated chimps to cause it.

  • wow! I wonder who is the douche bag the hit the "THUMBS DOWN" button?

  • Its just a lie. once hes in. he will ban weed.get a life losers

  • @blazeablunt4200 why would he ban it? seriously, think about that statement.

  • @silveristhefuture Im sorry. weed will never be "banned" no matter whos in charge. but i think hes saying that to get votes. in my honest opinion. a really good way to get votes.

  • @blazeablunt4200 Well for little children like yourself, its very hard to read and keep on track. so i put periods so you dont get lost or confused.

  • @blazeablunt4200

    I like. To use. Periods after. Every three words. Aswell

  • @SuperDouchebag12345 you forgot your spaces

  • @SuperDouchebag12345 Perfectly fine for dramatic effect. Use sparingly

  • @blazeablunt4200 He will ban weed even though he has been preaching for ending the drug wars and legalizing drugs for decades? I've never trusted a politician as much as I do Ron Paul (no i didn't trust Obama). If he doesn't commit to what he promises to do, then I will refuse to ever vote or support any political figure ever again.

  • @GxXTreme Theres always going to be a war on drugs. he might do something with weed but its pretty much legal right now he cant do too much more. not enough to "vote" for.

  • @blazeablunt4200 Well, that's not the only reason I support him. His most important attributes are his foreign policy, and his economic plans.

  • @blazeablunt4200 You don't live in a state where it is still ILLEGAL!!!

  • @chuckz73 True. i live in Cali. im only 19. i dont have a med card because i dont need one.

  • @blazeablunt4200 Most states still put people in prison for possession of any detectable amount.

  • If Ron Paul supported the legalization of marijuana he would win hands down.

  • @BURNEMLS1 I'm still mystified about this legalization issue when anyone can pay for a medical evaluation, respond well to the physician prompts and receive a medical marijuana card. Whereas traditional pain treatment has this moralistic fervor and impossibly difficult barriers over opioid medications. Marijuana is possibly more psycholgically addictive and definitely less effective than these legitimate meds.

  • @iatrogenicsteve YOU SIR ARE AN IDIOT!!! are you Obama's lover?

  • @iatrogenicsteve You've been lied to. Cannabis has been proven to be absolutely non-addictive. Look up some real science.

  • @BURNEMLS1 He does...

  • this is the video /watch?v=rEveeouWJ_Y&feature=g­-u&context=G2ec1715FUAAAAAAAEA­A

  • Any drug that has medical benifit to people suffering illness should be legal.Especially when it helps save lives.Ron Paul 2012.

  • @johndownunder ill go a step further and say drugs shouldnt be made illegal so long as they dont impose any harm to anyone other than the person who chooses to do the drugs. i dont do any drugs but its hypocritical to call ourselves a free country when our govt imposes restrictions on the people to prevent us the ability to decide what we want to do with our own lives

  • @johndownunder im not sure its saving lives, but it definitely helps ease pain.

  • I support President Paul

  • PEOPLE LEARN A LESSON HERE, THE FEDERAL GOVT, STATE GOVTS, COUNTIES, MUNICIPALITIES..ETC..ARE INCORPORATED, THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER ANYTHING BUT ENFORCING BONDED STATUTES. THESE STATUTES ARE ESSENTIALLY CORPORATE CHARTER BYLAWS. THEY'RE ENFORCED AGAINST YOU BECAUSE YOUR STATUS IS THAT OF A DEBTOR..READ THE UCC 1 FINANCING STATEMENT..CHANGE YOUR STATUS..I'VE GOT A PACKAGE THAT YOU SUBMIT TO THE TREASURY TO DO JUST THAT..WAKE UP ALREADY STOP GIVING AUTHORITY WHERE IT'S NOT. YOUR KILLING US.

  • Possibly the best answer one could imagine for that question.

  • Cannabis is beneficial herb that gives relief to people who would otherwise suffer, big Pharma does not want it legal as people wouldn't need to buy the toxic medicines, it is also nice to enjoy for people who do not want drink alcohol. Many good and decent people have been ruined by unjust cannabis laws. Free the herb, enough of these thugs and bullies making up the rules. Vote Ron Paul !

  • @honipop If that's your perspective, I'll respect it. However, other's experiences will show that marijuana has little-if any-demonstrable pain-relieving effects for significant chronic pain.

    The issue isn't about big pharma, but how the federal government and its policies use force and fear to deter doctors from treating pain sanely.

  • @iatrogenicsteve I get it your a pill head and you can't get a script

  • How dare he speak common sense!

  • Ron Paul for president, thank you!

  • Go go go!

  • Ron Paul for President !

  • @BetyarPali Ron Paul will best leave his mark on the Republican Platform committee. For whatever that's worth whomever actually is guided by it.
