Aaron Houston on Wolf Blitzer Situation Room

[thesnyd885]

Calvina Fay lies again. She just can't stop lying.

[FireFox9032]

Legalize pot for everyone. The world would be a FAR better place.

[smoochym]

Calvina Fay is a child abuser, even worse she gets big government grants for doing it.

[Jake468]

Anybody notice that at the start it looks like he's holding a joint?

[RcDwight]

F**k the dea. light a bowl

[bubblefunk2]

Blitzer needs a bigger beard.

[Azilythe]

That last phrase is line for my list absurd quotes, second from marijuana supporting terrorism.

[copcorona]

Yay MPP!  our time is now. We can end prohibition if we take advantage of this moment and act. Talk to your local politician. tell him or her that Weed never killed anyone,and prohibition is counterproductive, inhumane and expensive.

[a32emg]

Drug Free America does not work...tell that thug lady to get her head out of the sand!

[empbac]

The US Federal Government is a virus. It should be combated just like AIDS. Why are people proposing to change legislation here and there? What a do-nothing approach. Just get rid of the elephant in the room: the state. With that gone, NOTHING is illegal, just as it should be. The law of the jungle is enough for this monkey.

[AssAlot89]

F&CK BUSH!!!

[baker308]

FREE MARC EMERY!!!

[85irineo]

we should legalize and regulate it. let's take the power away from the al capones and give it to the people.

[luciferiexcelsil]

what pisses me off, is that they restrict it to serious illnesses....

that's Ironic... since they usually give you pills for little problems ans aches that could actually kill you if you took enough, or you were Alergic to it....

Thing which doesn't happen with cannabis. but oh well. money moves the world, right?

[hibraisil]

oh...sorry

[devilock]

Damn CNN needs to brush up on their grammar. look at 0:45.Hooked on phonics!!!!!!!!!1

[sheikweed]

one love

[brokenscythe]

LEGALIZE!!!!

[ghetofridge]

i love you guys so much!

[o0BUD720o]

and if it was legal the cartels would lose their most popular product...

[Iohgilbert]

I did read somewhere that they used a computer model to prove that you CAN in fact kill a lab rat with weed.

You just take twenty or twentyfive pounds and compress it into a mass the size of a football and then,aiming very carefully,... drop it on his head. You an see why they chose to use a computer model first. LOL

[mwtbdltr]

lol its just the old people who oppose it! ... when they are all ... dead (sorry) the amount of people wanting legalization etc will be so high (no pun intended)... oldies oppose cuz they were told to years ago... and back then they were pretty dumb and believed anything they were told!... soon ...

[24hrlib]

Say, who you calling old? I know a lot of oldies including myself who feel it should be legalized.

[hibraisil]

Its absolutely true. Do some research. The lethal overdose amount for THC would require you to ingest about 1500 pounds within 15 minutes. It is less lethal to humans than ANY medicine available today either by prescription or over the counter.

[mwtbdltr]

.... exactly!... thats alot of weed... one day some one should try! just to prove it! ... im gonna put myself down for candidate number one!... thats alot of weed :D

[appleguy77]

Thats actually 2/3 of an adult's bodyweight in 15 mins, not 1500 pounds.

[hibraisil]

incorrect. Your figure is for pure synthetic THC. As you know weed is only 2-12% THC and not all of it gets absorbed. Thus the 1500# estimate.

[appleguy77]

Cite a study. No one would find 1,500 lbs of marijuana to cause an overdose, because it depends on the user, and the potency of the weed. 1500 lbs of 2% THC weed or 1500 lbs of 12% THC weed? What about hash?

Its all relative, which is why 2/3 of your body weight in average (6-8%) THC weed is a closer approximation than "1500 pounds."

[hibraisil]

from "The report of the National Commission on Marihuana Use." Commissioned by Nixon, March 1972. (in two parts) Part 1

8. At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around

1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce

death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as

much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette.

[hibraisil]

part 2

NIDA-supplied

marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would

theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within

about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.

[a32emg]

Dude....i thought the lethal dose was 15K lbs in 15 minutes...well in either case the ld is impossible to reach peace

[a32emg]

the lethal dose is 1500 lbs smoked in 15 minutes. Now the lethal dose is calculated at LD50 where 50% of the patients died at the 1500lbs in 15 minutes....now using that logic 50% or more could tolerate more of the drug but probably not.....Anyway peace my friend

[drherbalst]

1500 lbs of marijuana will kill you...

... if dropped from the right height :P

Smoke, enjoy, medicate and relax your mind.

[appleguy77]

Do you have the name of the study for that?

[a32emg]

marijuana's LD-50 is around

1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce

death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as

much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied

marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would

theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within

about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.cited source from my previous web site........thanks!

[Juturn4]

The l.d. 50 for humans is unkown we only know what the l.d. 50 is for mice because in order to figure out the l.d. 50 you would have to kill half your test subjects. You're talking about a safety ratio which shows effective dose:lethal dose. Either way you're right you'd need to smoke many times your own weight under 5 minutes.

[Xamaza]

If they would legalize it, the mexican cartels would not be able to compete with OUR farming. We could bankrupt them. Hell just let people grow 1-2 plants per person over 18 in the house and no selling, problem solved.

[bobble12221]

That reporter is kinda muddying the waters with that last comment. Obviously these dispensaries are not buying it from Mexican drug cartels. It is the illegal suppliers doing that, so it seems like a bit of a cheap shot. If it was legal, very few people would choose shoddy mexican weed from cartels rather than US grown bud or BC bud!

[wcchalo]

POT KILLS

[actyme]

hahahahaha :D hilarious. no one has died because of marijuana in 5000 of recorded history. not a single death has been found. scientists can actually on hypothesize what amount of marijuana would, in fact, be lethal. so unless you can smoke 40.000 joints in a few minutes or unless someone injects it by force- you're safer smoking a bud than drinking yourself to death anyday. don't talk about what you don't know.oh and dont try to stick the irresponsibility of some people on pot(eg. high drivers)

[thetruthaboutstuff]

how? zero people have been killed from pot.

[mwtbdltr]

wcchalo.... wake up and smell the flowers.... they smell sooo delitious... and smoke o so good!

[Ragrog105]

That's your opinion, but it's certainly NOT a fact. Where's your evidence?

[wcchalo]

relax, im trollin you noob

[TheLostRepublic]

yeah the mexican weed is the shit weed that people have to buy because the illegality of marijuana makes chronic expensive.

[sk84ever515]

here is how you get rid of the dealers selling it, HAVE THE GOVERNMENT SELL IT THEMSELVES FOR CHEAPER. basic supply and demand

[maynardforpresident]

Fay... you, mam, are a cunt

[luciferiexcelsil]

if they dont make it fully legal, at least we should follow canada's model.

by legalizing medical cannabis throughout the whole country. at least people who need it for illnesses will have safe access to it.

[imnickim]

at this rate ill be dead before its legal. i hope that doesn't happen

[RexNunc]

THC has an extremely low toxicity and the amount that can enter the body through the consumption of cannabis plants poses no threat of death. In lab animal tests, scientists have had much difficulty administering a dosage of THC that is high enough to be lethal. It also appears that humans cannot die from ingesting too much THC, unless it were introduced into the body intravenously.

[RexNunc]

Deaths attributed to alcohol use per year:

150,000

Deaths attributed to tobacco use per year:

350,000

Deaths attributed to marijuana use per year: ZERO.

[mrblisterfist]

FREE MARC EMERY !!!

[RaccaBoi08]

Medical marijuana seems like its starting to become far too complicated and dramatized now...I hope they just legalize it to make it become alot more simple for us responsible users.

[pomeroy82]

I'm stuck in Shitty AZ where the fucking retarded right winged conservative religious fagots still prosecute us peaceful stoners as much as possible... We are sandwiched on all side by other states where it is legal for medical users and its about time its legal here too! Fuck AZ !

[MakeSumCake]

Make green legal Rite now dammit

[Joem734]

I don't agree with Obama on much, but he deserves a lot of credit here.

Legalize this! Half of our drug arrests will disappear. Billions will be saved. And no longer will people have their lives disrupted by this idiotic policy.

[hansecheverria]

legalize it

[swankrecords]

I recommend smoking cigarettes and drinking hard liquor.

[iudnnobasszal]

while cigarettes and liquor are fun weed is definitely better.

and safer

[villel80]

How ironic is that Drug Free America's policy on drugs is doing everything but actually getting towards a drug free America.

[verikmillz]

God I hate that Fay bitch.

[TalladegaTom]

Here is a short list of big pharma biz that obstruct the repeal of Cannabis prohibition and fund Drug Free America. Ya think they have a vested interest in prohibition? You bet! The Nonprescription Drug Manufacturers Assn. Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Assn Bayer Corp Bristo-Meyers Squibb Foundation Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. Pharmacia and Upjohn Co. SmithKline Beecham Consumer Healthcare Merck Company Foundation Thompson Medical Co. Whitehall-Robbins Co The Pfizer Foundation, Inc.

[imthejoker4u2]

And they havent figured out how to patent a plant. That why Marinol (synthetic cannabis made in a pharma lab) is "medicine" while the plant its self has no value. BTW the side effects of marinol is - BEING STONED! If a guy in a lab coat grew it, we would have a lot less problems.

Theres the answer!!!

All growers!! Wear lab coats from now on!!!!

[luciferiexcelsil]

marinol gets you paranoic extremely easy. and it could give you nausea... fuck marinol. they should use straight up hashish pills

[ARDrumr]

yea, because marinol is just THC. Thc with no canabanoids gives a super wierd high. Hash pills have both

[Justwosweet]

Down with states rights. Up with Federal prohibition.

[imthejoker4u2]

Yea because it worked so well then, and continues to work so well now :facepalm:

Some define insanity as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.

Drugs are not going away and laws against them only create violence and profit for cartels.

[TalladegaTom]

I fully agree Imthejoker.

Insanity it is!

Where is the data from the prohibitionists supporting their BS stats? Probably got them from the department of made up stuff.

[chemicalvampire7]

sorry i meant to hie the thumbs upp

[eLLriDe420]

in croatia all poliece officer are give money and work for mobs so it is already legal for me im smokin your ameircan herb ''Cinderella 99'' very nice stone im pleased with my level of ''fucked-up-ness'' at the momont

[iudnnobasszal]

lmao croatia for meeeee

[slightlygone]

i 100% agree with badjer1785 !

[devilzgrip]

THE WORK IS PAYING OFF! WOOHOO!

[badjer1785]

if it was legal and regulated it would be ZERO revenue for the mexican drug cartels

[medicalcannabisjourn]

yep

[MooseOfReason]

States rights from the Obama administration.

Hah. I agree with what Greg Gutfeld said last night on his show. This will be the one and only time the administration respects the 10th Amendment.

[pronaper]

and what would the 10th amendment be?

[ReallyPsilly]

States rights to govern themselves.

[badjer1785]

aaron houston is the man

[cuishi14]
