Barney Frank Challenges George Will on Marijuana, Dec 18, 2011

[keifload]

They've been saying they need to find more about it for 50 years. Something harmful would've come up by now. Stop the stalling, regulate and tax it!

[ActaNonVerba71]

Bwahahahahaha. "You're on medicare how much longer will it take". I don't like Frank in a lot of ways but that was pretty funny.

[looney408]

punked!!!

[theindiekidable]

Alcohol is a gateway drug

[underballbutter]

Fuck that guy who was like "okay lets get off marijuana" bitch you just don't want to face facts and debate Barney Frank on your show called the great american debates. wtf?

[IOITALL2HIM]

Hat Frank... but he is right for once!

[truthslap]

thank God for Barney Frank, it's about time somebody called out the "conservatives" on their most basic hypocrisies. they believe in freedom and personal liberty, for THEMSELVES, they unilaterally oppose government subsidies, unless you're talking about corporate tax breaks, bailouts, and interest free loans. they're all for subsidizing the rich, and they're all for personal liberties for themselves only. the republican party is made up of hypocrites and knaves, and their voters are fools.

[TheReapersSon]

This is why Ron Paul is the only true conservative, and also the only true politician with the belief in personal liberty.

He's the only one running for president that has the balls to flat out say that prohibition has failed us as a nation, and only serves to subjugate our free will as individuals. Frank might not have made all the right choices (banking regulation, for example), but he's absolutely right on this issue.

[mossman2012]

happy new year eveyone much reaspect from uk keep smoking

oh and one thing fuck the goverment!!

[HempOilForPower]

It kills cancer get over it thats why its illegal big phama is skerd!

[HempOilForPower]

Gateway WTF STFU

[callegal2010]

cannabis when understood is the biblical GATEWAY to salvation! the the actual baptism of the holy ghost,memorialised via the menowrah,"the hidden manna","the oil of gladness"..".blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake" HEMPHEMPHOORAY RON PAUL 2012

[darealdjnutz]

@MrLexdizzle We have to keep those private prisons full.

[bloddyscabb]

Marijuana can only be a gateway drug if it is illegal. If legalized you won't have drug dealers trying to push other drugs on you, just the happy clerk at the store.

[joshuaoha]

Milk is a gateway drug to alcohol. All drunks start out drinking milk.

[JJbones88]

@joshuaoha for me personally it wasn't the milk so much as the orange juice

[benjaminnbillman]

LEGALIZE CANNABIS & END ALL THE VIOLENCE THAT COMES FROM THE GOVERNMENTS "DRUG WAR". IT'S MORE LIKE A WAR AGAINST THOSE WHO ENJOY MEDICINE THAT THE GOVNMT DOESN'T APPROVE OF. CANNABIS HAPPENS TO B HEALTHY MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER HARMED A FLY -- ONLY CURED CANCER AND NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS.

[benjaminnbillman]

Cannabis is a healthy drug. Saying it's a gateway is like saying eating spinach is a gateway to eating unhealthy candy. Who cares if someone enjoys a plant that's healthy for them and heals their diseases? Oh yeah, the greedy pharmaceutical companies that won't b able to regulate the Pot that heals everything -- and then they won't b able to sell their garbage synthetic "medicine" which kills ppl. CANNABIS CURES CANCER, AIDS WAISTING SYNDROME, HELPS TREAT ASTHMA, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, PTSD.......

[MrTlove911]

@MrLexdizzle lol ye, even the Americans know now.

[Alectr0n]

The hippie generation is in charge now and we STILL have to put up with this bullshit?

Thanks for nothing you retards.

[benjaminnbillman]

@Alectr0n CANNABIS IS NOT BULLSHIT --- IT'S A NATURAL MEDICINE WHICH HEALS MANY DISEASES -- A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ALCOHOL AND CIGGARETTES (WHICH KILL MANY PEEPS) AT GETTING ONE A BUZZ AND NO ONES EVER DIED FROM IT. LEGALIZE IT AND GET OVER YOUR HATRED.

[Alectr0n]

@benjaminnbillman YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND MY POST. MAYBE IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.

HIPPIES WERE HEAVY CANNABIS USERS ---> HIPPIE GENERATION IS NOW IN CHARGE ---> CANNABIS IS STILL ILLEGAL = BULLSHIT

[euthman]

@Alectr0n As a member of said generation, I couldn't agree more. You're right; it is unbelievable that we have not been able to get marijuana legalized. This drug was in almost universal use by my generation in the 1970s, yet now, it's hard to find anyone my age who will admit they ever used it.

[darealdjnutz]

@euthman The hippies sold-out and let the world down. Fuck you hippies.

[HopesandDreamsinc]

Common sense supply and demand . If the GOV were make nicotine illegal TMR . Could you IMAGINE the people killing , fighting and illegal buyers + Jail = The world . What my point is here if you don't meet the means of supply in the DEMAND then this is what you get a never ending WAR ON DRUGS . Peace

[1235788888]

I love how the audience is laughing how many of them do you really think even agree?

[ilovealexjones1]

Gateway theory? How the hell is that still being pushed? How many times does something have to be disproved before politicians stop foaming at the mouth about it? You want a gateway? How about caffeine? Almost everyone in the US consumes caffeine multiple times a day, and it’s certainly everyone’s first step into the world of recreational drug use

[lilbob369]

telling the truth!!!!!!!

[ilovealexjones1]

When the authorities infringe on your rights for simply using cannabis...(or any other activity and is not wrong...or harms anyone or infringes on their rights) it is your duty to resist such arrest even if that means you must kill a cop or any other authority trying to impose their will upon you...kill cops in defense of freedom..

[TheShootTruth10]

barney frank takes it in the ass......weed is the gateway drug...all heavy users started with weed.

[Mattikusrules]

@TheShootTruth10 speak for yourself, if u said, "all heavy users started with alchohol", that would be true or false?



[LowVoltageFilms]

Vote for Ron Paul, Mkay?

[bigfoot799]

Republicanism is a gateway to stupidity.

[cwsculptor]

And milk is a gateway drug to all kinds of things, because we all started on milk.

[TheShootTruth10]

@cwsculptor milk is not a drug you dumb mother fucker....all babies need and use milk.

[cwsculptor]

@TheShootTruth10 OK, I should have said sugar, since it is used by virtually everyone, is addictive, and affects the brain.

And your choice of language is extreme when addressing someone about whom you know nothing. And I have NEVER had sexual relations with my mother.

[mykmmc]

now you are talking!!!, you don't like the anti gun parts of the bills. I asked about the dod because most people who hate big gov love the dod witch is big gov, I agree I would rather be called a mother fucker then a politian, the way I see it. so I could care less abou redeeming myself because thier is nothing to redeem but I am up for a debate

[hgeny]

As usual george, obama, and the rest that opose ending marijuana prohibition continue to have their in the toilet... What's this --we need more studies--. Marijuana was never a problems for thousands of years. Only after anslingler decide it was better to arrest people and a democrate president signed marijuana prohibition into law it became a problem. Support L.E.A.P, Norml, MPP, DPA and people like Barney Frank. Vote these jackass' out.

[MrSleeps]

i hate barney frank but he's right most conservatives are the ones in the way of social change excluding ron paul though. they will always have a reason/excuse for why it shouldn't be legalized.

[Dp908]

Barney Frank may have done good in this video exposing these retards, but keep in mind he is just as big of a problem and cause of big government as the idiots he's schooling on cannabis. Blind leading the blind. Wish the government would stay out of my life and let me smoke whatever the hell I want to smoke.

[mykmmc]

@Dp908 are taliking about frank dodd? how is he tha cause of big gov.? are you one of those big gov is bad but the d.o.d. is great, people? d.o.d .is big gov

[Dp908]

@mykmmc The fact that you don't even know that the man in the video is representative Barney Frank, and then tell me I'm talking about the department of defense and Frank Dodd really shows just how intelligent you are, and how much you know about your government, your constitution, and how it works. You must be the smartest man in the world, I'm proud of you.

[mykmmc]

@Dp908 wtf??? huh ????when I asked asbout frank dodd bill, how dose that show I don't know who barney frank is? lol fail... so how did frank cause the problem with big gov.?

you never replyed to that.... personal attcaks only mean to me you have no leg to stand on

[Dp908]

@mykmmc "Are you talking about Frank Dodd?" Was your question, nothing in my comment was about Frank Dodd so why would you ask that? You seem like you have no leg to stand on trying to redeem yourself. That's ok though. Frank voted for several big spending bills, obamacare, is extremely anti-gun, and takes funds from lobbyist. He's just as big of a problem as any other republican or democrat.

[ftffighter]

@Dp908 unlike ron paul....

Yeah, I come with a little baggage, ; ) .

[thedead1ock]

100% right. Conservatives are hypocrites if they think they are against big government but at the same time are regulating what you can smoke, who you can sleep with and who you can marry.

"Quest for information." Please, more like a quest for MISINFORMATION. Any MODERN research is going to tell you that the cannabis plant is for the most part harmless; Any negatives comes from the act of smoke inhalation. (we better make that illegal!)

[peterpotpie]

Great to see Barney Frank kickin' some ass.  Ignorance is no longer a good excuse.

Ron Paul in 2012!!!

[04indianajones]

@2trader5822 your a disgrace if you don't agree with him its people like you taking away americas freedom and turning us in to a prison state..... cannabis is a healing herb and you all should respect it Ron Paul 2012

[aepperson72]

He makes some valid points. We spend alot of money on locking people up for pot.

[Trader5822]

Barney is a disgrace !
