Medical Marijuana

[CervezaBeerBier]

fuck the dea

[Expose911Lies]

No it's called tyranny

[TheCFusion27]

WEED IS GOOD!!! Evoryone should know that...

[vaporizerblogger]

legalize it! period.

[EeeKOMPOMBOOM]

lol i agree with the guy who commented below me you are extremly beautiful lol

[EeeKOMPOMBOOM]

I think in this generation our government has become so greedy in the past the governments purpose was to stand for the people and now it seems this higher power runs its own course i truly believe i have every right to smoke my herb because its my identity western society to me seems to be a thief in my eyes and i cant believe they would be so stupid not to tax the herb...............these days smh

[Finallythankyou]

I just think you're hot. Sorry :(

[TheEpicRofler]

For some reason, I doubt she ever used marijuana.

[azalori]

@TheEpicRofler I doubt that yes. For me she look like she smoke crack. You never know who really does drugs. You never know who is foggot or who is dike

[skipsanders12345]

It still seems absurd that, in 2010ad, when there are computers, science, reason, philosophy, art, that we the people would support a government that is at war with a plant. People that want to change policies should vote.

[albion177]

omg just legailize it!!!! get it over with!

the whole world does it!

[sumcrazydood]

The federal governments position should always reflect the opinion of the largest majority of American voters. The governments job is to serve and represent the people of the union. The federal government should be able to interfere with state laws because it is the central government. The government of the states.

In my opinion medicinal marijuana should most defiantly be legalized. It is far less harmful and addictive than other legal and over the counter drugs.

[eTernaLBOWLING]

Holy god... You are so smart, and absolutely gorgeous. I know it's completely off topic but I had to let you know... Anyways... I think the goverment should stop regulating something that is about as bad for you as soda. The only reason it's regulated is so many people could treat so many things with just pot, that pharmesutical companies would lose to much - and we all know how much our government seems to love pharmesuticals. Totally mispelled pharmesuticals huh? lol.

[LostFREEDOM]

Marijuana is pure Life and a wonder healing plant , fact

[wgraves4786]

Dam baby you fine!

[MafiaMan103]

legalize it, also you have a nice rack lol......

[philly442]

theres nothing different between medical marijuana reg marijuana stop fucking callin it medical

[Murked512]

dude, you just said there is nothing different. chill the fuck out

[philly442]

i know what i said faggot

[Murked512]

Shut the fuck up nigger.

[avrockgod]

yeah except you can get the dankest of the dank, or in what ever form you want. Legalize it! Millions of Americans are getting arrested for a substance thats less powerful than alcohol

[Mysticblue1212]

I believe the term medical marijuana is used instead of just saying marijuana because if they legalize it, it would be for illnesses alone. Much like any other perscription. It is illegal for you to get these drugs without a perscription from your doctor. I believe they are useing the term simply to point out it wouldn't be legal for your average joe to be sitting on the corner smoking it like one would a cigerate.

[GUYPRO30]

states are coming around...nevada just decriminalized marijuana......can you believe that,,,,nevada...its a tkt now with an oz. or less...or maybe less than oz....(oz. may send u to poky).....expensive, but at least decriminalized....2008....

[jebraina]

I support it! I love Marijuana!

[ssips720]

good question!! legalize

[Robdoggierob]

80% of Americans do not support medical use of Marijuana.....

[jebraina]

Rob: yes they do u idiot

[Robdoggierob]

Srorry no they don't but keep believing what you want. I don't care what you think.

[jebraina]

sorry but no one really cares to support a law that is counterproductive and overwhelmingly expensive. Only the select 20% of dumb people like u support criminalizing marijuana.

[Robdoggierob]

Your not a very happy person are you?

[jebraina]

happiest person ever, u need some pointers?  lol take the stick out of your ass and live your life.

[Robdoggierob]

Lol wow that was a sad attempt at a burn :) Next

[jebraina]

im done but what is sad is that you have nothing better to do than argue a dumb point; which either way doesn't benefit yourself. u just bored?

[Robdoggierob]

Lol actually yes I am quite bored with you now. Apparently I struck a nerve with you some how. But at this point I don't care. Reply to my comments and try and start an argument all you want I am done with you :)

Have a great day. God loves you!

Robdoggierob

[jebraina]

haha im bored 2 lol, u have a great day 2!

[Robdoggierob]

Thanks :)

[magumiam]

Nadia, Damn you bad. Im from dc, fire up a j when i get off work.

[ArtGoddess8]

It's actually 13 states now...but the point is still valid.

We ALL need to work together to pass better marijuana laws, especially medical marijuana laws in states that do not yet have compassionate care.

[goldstarchoice]

You are so sexy and intelligent. My prototype.

[randy95023]

States should be able to enact laws without "checking" with the Federal Gov't first! Only exceptions should be laws that directly affect other state's citizens. If Iowa wanted to legalize Heroin and a majority of Iowa voters agreed; Why should the Fed have the ability to countermand the will of the free people of Iowa? I know that substituting "Heroin" for Marijuana may sound extreme, but I used it to emphasize the point.

Federal Gov't should stay out of State affairs, PERIOD!

[alfogle]

well thats a duh, they have no power what so-ever if the state rules it ok. Go back and study the constitution fascists! bunch of hypocritical tyrants. SMOKE WEED! STAY ALIVE!

[PartyAndrew]

THC is just a fat cell right?

[alfogle]

No, its a medical marvel. thats why they hate it. check out rick simpson, and thats just the beginning.

[ArtGoddess8]

THC is not the only active medical compound in marijuana...it's just the most known.

Patients that take the THC pill report feeling really stoned, but say that they do not get the medical benefit that they get from actual marijuana.

...marijuana is comprised of very complex compounds, and more research is needed...but the federal gov does not like to allow independent testing...

[alfogle]

Makes sense. you cant out-due Gods own creation. I hate how they try to mimic everything for money and control. its just sickening.

[joh3]

As a cancer patient who has undergone radio/chemo therapy I can attest to the benefits of pot. I was prescribed Kytril at $150.00-twice a day- per pill for nausea and it did not work. I bought a few bags of pot for less than half the daily Kytril cost and was sickness free. Also my apetite increased and I gained weight. I am still alive 5 years after diagnosis and a testament to free spirit.

[drasta87]

I know this is a serious clip and all but that girl is freakin beautiful!!!

[brothert7]

Money is the answer. cant patten what God made.

No matter if its a cure for cancer as a injest oil. No matter if it helps combat the negative effects of chemo. Money is the root of all kinds of evil.

[Gasparro18]

Right, they don't give a shit if you have Cancer, AIDS, or your recovering from chemo. They just want to make the money. If someone has a disease give them pot because it actually eases the pain.

[annpetasupporter]

80%?! WOW. Absolutely! That is fucked up...

[Gasparro18]

The pharmacatical companies would rather sell you a bunch of shit that barely works or dosen't work at all. It's like if I sold cars that were broken down pieces of shit and one guy sold a car that actually worked. Thats kind of what the companies do.

[brothert7]

They cant patten Natural so they make sure it stays illegal then they put out a bunch of disinformation it too!

[Gasparro18]

Yeah, that pisses me off. For one thing that actually helps you they give several differen perscriptions that don't work.

[PFTECHMETAL]

excellent.....

[Buddha09163]

legalize weed in all 50 states not just for medicinal use but for recreational use im sure that alotta kids and adults like 2 get high as a muthafucka wit the high potent and look chink-eyed while their day dreamin'

[WalksOnClouds]

The government is supposed to be a government OF the people, not OVER the people. If the people wish to have access, it's the right of the people.

I'm conservative in nearly every aspect of the political spectrum. However! I agree in MMJ because it works. I've had myofascial pain syndrome for 9 yrs. The more docs I see, the more drugs they give me. MMJ mediates that pain and has allowed for me so wean myself off of several medications including narcotics. So much for it being a catalyst drug!

[jastxs]

Side effects, need for higher doses, addiction, cost to patient (medical expenses

The use of THC by a patient outweighs the side effects of narcotics: medical expense and side effects. Google the research. Marijuana is a plant given to humans, period, simple fact. As is evident in Genesis. Look up the verse and reply.

[SuperNewf1]

Mr. SamFisher4017 you sound like so many of those fundamentalist (brainless) Christians that don't read their own literature (Bible). "All green plants are put on earth for mans use."

Marijuana has not killed a person in 10,000 years. Many cultures use it for its medicinal use as far back as 5,000 years. I won't let you idiots abuse me with pain and cramps and spasms and depression anymore, and force harmful chemicals on me that cause addiction, bad side effects, etc. So "FUCK OFF IDIOT!!"

[rayofminneapolis]

Minnesota medical marijuana bill passes final House committee, headed to the House floor for historic vote!

By a 13-4 vote, S.F. 345 --the Minnesota medical marijuana bill-- passed out of the Ways and Means Committee this afternoon! Having already passed the full Senate last year, House ways and means was the final committee the bill needed to clear in the Minnesota Legislature. It's now headed to the floor of the Minnesota House for its historic first-ever hearing by the full legislative body.

[scorpionsaccount]

tell that to the people with chronic pain, chronic nausea, AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, hepatitis, chronic muscle spasms and other spastic disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, gastrointestinal disorders, such as IBS, Crohn's disease and the inability to eat, or patients who have medical treatments for other conditions that cause one of these conditions...

u tell em all about this wrath of god...

[millsfilms]

me three. I got jungle fever

[deimosbg]

Always pro marijuana, medical or not :)

[busterkillax3]

pro medical bud and man I want to bang tha shit out of you

[truemirror]

lol, me too.

[truemirror]

clinton, obama, kerry, edward, hinshere, etc admit to using marijuana. They "set the standard" in US, they wheren't raided, hauled to court, jail nor fined for using, handling, or possessing, now the "standard has been set" neither should any other citizen of US be punished. even thomas jefferson and washington used, Basicaly, their use especially, clintons, then allowed to become president, that "standard set" should be enough to nullify all federal and state laws against it.

[truemirror]

what if the laws where that these people couldn't get grants and loans for education because they used, like law makers are trying to change the laws now or had to have drug testing in school, would they be allowed to have had a college education? be senators, or pres candidates? how about the judges, doctors, lawyers and police?

[koihoono]

*shrug* all i know (and can understand from ur multi worded rambling) is that when a 'minor' is found and caught with any sort of thing deemed illegal here, its put on their permanent record and it can lower their chances of getting into a 'high-standard' school/program

[truemirror]

yes, that is one point made(multi worded rambing=a few points made within a small space) Clinton's generation didn't have those regulations, his trouble as a teen/young adult did not stop him to get his education as well as presidentcy. the new generation are not being treated equally to the old generation, few "minors" don't get caught at something by the time they are in their twenties, this is the way a humanbeing grows up. Just as there are very few puppies that don't chew a shoe. It's life.

[koihoono]

uh huh... im not sure why ur telln me this in the first place, but all i know is that each generation gets worse and worse and worse (stupid, sinister, goofy etc) my parent told me that when he was a kid nobody would think of bringing even a KNIFE to school. NOW uve got a few shootings at them! besides i think bush is a bi crack head. GO RON PAUL!!

[truemirror]

lol at bi crack head, I'm probaly a bit older than your parent, public schools were filled with weapons where I grew up, but he is right about one thing most just fought it out and only "showed" the guns, today kids are shooting and killing a lot more. The drug use and sex is still about the same. stay safe and GB

[koihoono]

idk lol my parent is 47, the other i wont say or else she'll hit me ^_^

[hahayouarefunny]

Nicely researched!

[viperhelix]

very well expressed and clear questions. I believe drugs are strictly a health issue and our resources are to be directed to harm reduction strategies, not putting our people in jail. Control of drugs can be had thru legalizing them, taxes, regulations.

[koihoono]

uuhhh 1) yes. 2) no. unfortunately the government isn't going to make medical marijuana legal anytime soon unless it deoesn't pose as a threat to so many industries it can replace and be even better at for a lower price

[IknowIamRight]

you are wrong, it is already accepted in 12 states. Do you write your congressmen or congresswomen about the issue? I do, the laws will be reformed sooner than later, they now have medical marijuana vending machines in California. Ask your congress person how can a medicine work in certain states but not everyone, does crossing state lines make it lose medicinal value. Your opinion is not illegal, and it is your tax dollars. It is a crime that medical marijuana is not allowed nationwide!

[koihoono]

dude, ur talkn to me as if i don't agree with it. i do agree for medical marijuana to be benificial and sh1t. however, i don't think itll become legal anytime soon where IIIII live. get it now?

[IknowIamRight]

I am sorry to confuse you, I do not belief it will be legalized anytime soon, but I do belief decriminalization and acceptance of medicinal marijuana will be accepted in the near future, and not in months but years, but less than ten, much less I feel. koihoono I have no intention of being disrespectful to you at all, I am sorry if I offended you. I think we are both reading from the same book, maybe even the same chapter? I am a member of mppDOTorg, and I study medicine.

[koihoono]

er- its ok? @@; yeah you sound like an adult. i'm a 14 year old girl. though my dads studies medicine too (especially herbs)

[IknowIamRight]

That is awesome that you are so intelligent at the age of 14. I never would have guessed I was speaking to a minor. I only wished I was more like you, than I was. Your father must be a great man.

[koihoono]

thx! :) yeah my dads very smart although hid career choice was a little strange

[IknowIamRight]

Strange or not, as a father he has raised a very bright daughter. You seem to be very open minded, capable of critical thinking, where many are shallow and judgemental. It is very refreshing to see young people like yourself that are well educated and interested in controversial, but very important issues. Too much time and tax payers money is wasted on Marijuana, where if taxed and regulated it would generate billions of dollars to the economy. It would also help minimize the black market.

[koihoono]

lol thx a bunch i appreciate it. that is true >>

[aphishin]

everything in moderation. tis the best meds ive ever had for my pain.

[ponsuelo420]

Give Ron Paul $105 on the 16th with three friends doing the same thing together, equaling $420. It is only five extra bucks each. Send in one check for $420 saying"Free the BC 3." Ron Paul will pardon the BC 3. Pay this money now, or pay a lot more than $105 dollars under some puppet, that will continue the George Walter Bush administration, or Bush part three. Vote Ron Paul or say hello to WWIII!

[giraffepoo]

Marijuana should be legal. I think that's why they keep outlawing smoking in bars and restaurants so they can finally legalize marijuana so u can smoke it in your home.

[UnhealthySalad]

I gave you a thumbs up on the site 10questions. Great question. You're a great speaker!

[ponsuelo420]

Me too!

[CarlNyberg]

Medical marijuana seems like an exceedingly narrow issue.

I would prefer a question the deals more broadly with policy WRT intoxicating substances.

[FinanceGal]

Why does the Federal Government defy the will of the people when it comes to medical marijuana? It sends Americans to prison for taking the right medicine for their illness. That is the most dangerous side effect - imprisonment. Wishing all the best to MPP!

[koihoono]

my vid on medical marijuana might help answer ur questions. check it out if ur curious enough

[zornfizza2]

hi Nadia!

[bastop2]

Oh sorry i dindn't get the point but...

Read it anyway

[bastop2]

I'm from Germany. But I think it's about every one in the world.

[bastop2]

My opinion follows the point, that there is no generalized conclusion possible. Think about all these young men15,16,17,18, and a lot of my friends were like that,not only male, start spending their livetime with smoking. That's wasted time. A lot of them are a little depressive know and they're 22 now. But it's not always like that--- I know people, who smoke their whole live and can do it. As a lot of doctors say, and I absolutely agree with that, the respond to marijuana genetically depends.

[ponsuelo420]

Marijuana Policy Project only advocates medicinal marijuana!

[k2dart]

Thats not true.

They advocate for general legalization also.

[k2dart]

Note:

I was just responding to Ponsuelo since he thinks they only want to reform the medical laws. They want to reform all the laws, recreational included.

[ponsuelo420]

You are right, they do adovcate putting violent crime and sex crime in cages, not non-violent marijuana users. The compassion approach, that is the first step. Putting others first, giving the doctors the option to prescribe the safest medication, that is compassion! I don't believe patients are criminals, do you?

[heemlo]

so i guess you think doing anything that you don't like is "wasted time"

[ponsuelo420]

My argument for legalization/ health issues of marijuana can be simply stated as follows. Tobacco starts a plant. It grows in nature. We harvest it, alter it with other products, package it, market and tax it and it's legal.

[ponsuelo420]

It is however proven to cause significant deaths.

Alcohol starts as a plant (rye, sugar cane etc...). It grows in nature. We harvest it, alter it with other products, package it, market and tax it and it's legal. It is however proven to cause significant deaths.

Marijuana starts as a plant. It grows in nature. We harvest it, dry it, roll it up and smoke it..No other products or mass marketing campaigns, no real determined health concerns yet this is ILLEGAL!!!!

[ponsuelo420]

It is not appropriate for the fed. gov. to interfere; not only are they undermining the state, they are undermining over 80% of the public. Join MPP! Don't just say right on, or legalize it, but say something original, that people will listen to. It is a crime the that medical marijuana is not allowed. McDonalds food is more dangerous than medical marijuana! Rob Kampia is a hero!

[roberteckerson]

Day one of Ron Paul as president and the DEA is ordered to immediately halt the raids on medical marijuana clinics. Three months later North Dakota farmers begin sowing their hemp fields.

RON PAUL 2008!
