  • I love how i see this calvina girl debating for every anti-marijuana side but there are multiple defenders for pro-marijuana....anyone realize how alone this women is...?

  • "drug free america foundation" If you're so anti-drug, don't have double standards, get rid of penicillin too. "DRUGS ARE BAD M'KAY"

  • Also, eating vegetables increases risk of cancer, but then she obviously doesn't eat any of those.

  • She completely dodged that last question

  • schizophrenia?? really? you fucking bitch...its like hearing "if you masturbate then youll go blind."

  • That bitch sounds exactly like my principal... also dealing with the issue of drug cartels defending their turf, look at the alcohol prohibition, drug cartels sold and distributed booze to people and the only way to obtain it was with a doctor's recommendation (yes, its true... medicinal whiskey :) now you don't see any cartels selling booze anymore, also drug cartels make more money on crack and heroin than booze now its completely legal and regulated. Hopefully, Canada will legalize marijuana.

  • That woman is just utterly ignorant. If marijuana was legalized, the FDA would obviously regulate it and assure customers of its quality. Therefore, people will buy from licensed marijuana stores instead of black market dealers, in which you have no idea what exactly could be in the weed. Thus, overall, putting the black market distribution of marijuana out of business. How can she not understand that?

  • The Foundation she works for gets monstrous contributions from alcohol and tabacco industries. She's the worst kind of hypocrite.

  • she is arguning that prohibition isnt working when she says that they wont go away if pot is legal hmmmmmmmmm. she doesnt make any sense at all!

  • u stupid potheads got brain damage. drug cartels make money from cocaine, crack, heroin, human smuggling, illegal arms sales, contract killings. Only somebody wacked out of their mind would think legalizing pot would make criminals go away. idiot

  • Wow this whole thing is so hilarious. How have we gotten to this point with "The War on Drugs? Is this woman really the opposition to legalization? Good lord.

  • ur fucked lady all u do is lie to people. and so does everyone else who hates marijuana. fuck you all. keep spreading the lies around the world. one day all you nerdy fucks will relize

  • well you dumb bitch, what we mean by no cartel interference is that, if we buy it from ONLY stores/distributors, the cartels can buy or get ahold of money

  • OOOHHH i hate that woman!!! she wouldnt know the truth about marijuana if it bit her in the ass. she needs to be educated

  • why the fuck is she allowed to just make shit up on TV? she is literally lying without one semblance of truth

  • FOX = PROPAGANDA!!!

  • i guess our last 7 presidents have been some what schizophrenic...wait...wait again

  • Drug Free America Foundation is fighting for the survival of her organization. When Marijuana is legal large part of that organization if not all will no longer be needed. Goodbye Calvina Fay!

  • Drug Free America Foundation is fighting for the survival of her organization. When Marijuana is legal they will no longer be needed. Goodbye Calvina Fay!

  • wtf the lady makes no sense talking about human trafficking and shit

  • @Emoslayer000 No I think she is talking bout how mexican cartels take vacationers in mexico and they cut them open and use their body as a vessel to transport: Marijuana, Cocaine, Meth, Crack. Any drug they can make money on. They come to the US kill the "vacationer" leave their body in a ditch somewhere and get on with their lives and make money for guns, and more drugs. When weeds legal its like taking their main money supply away from them, cause weed gets money for coke, crack, meth n such.

  • yes they do. Those criminals make money smuggling illegal aliens into this country. They also smuggle sex slaves.

  • Somebody shoot that cunt with a bazooka - Louis CK

  • To OD on weed you must smoke 400.000 times what it takes you to get high and you'll pass out wayyyyyy before you get even close to that weed has never killed before and will never kill in the future get your facts straight and go fuck yourself you feminist dyke

  • Comment removed

  • I do wonder if perhaps this ignorant bitch is aware that drug cartels on our southern border use their $8,000,000,000 in weed revenue to fund other illegal activities of theirs such as human and arms trafficking, as well as political and territorial violence. Perhaps it would be prudent to take these funds away, and even reroute it to government through a $50/oz marijuana tax? Nahhh thats just crazy talk.

  • god knows that he MESSED UP BIG TIME WHEN HE MADE HER...

  • Wow if idiots like her keep gettting up there and talking about this then people will just get misinformed its so sad.. croke bitch

  • All I heard from that fucking dyke was "Don't legalize it cause its just like tobacco and alcohol. But I need this illegal so I can get more money for me and my cause". Fucking people need to wake up and smell the ganja this shit is more natural than anything people drink and or smoke legally. There are people being lab mice by taking K2 a synthetic marijuana smoke (I even did it to get a job, so my piss would be clean) So I put my life on the line when I could be smoking something that is safe.

  • @Tboy91 big tobacco is funding the anti marijuana campaign cuz they know weed will put them out of business and they cant kill the customers with their cyanide or ammonia inside the product

  • @tokenride04 Yeah I know it sucks man, just wish we had a time machine to go back get George Washington, and let him see what nation he has made rise, he will have a shit fit with these dumb polices on a plant cause that's why we migrated to the our nation then. It's simple why we never had a law against weed, they knew it was to hard to do and it would just cost money fighting it, but now we got money from Pharma,Tobacco, and Alcohol industrys, He would slap the shit out of the senate lol.

  • that lady is very misinformed she needs to be slapped!

  • that woman is telling downright lies, none of her facts were legitimate, i researched them :P the safer representative was cool and collected he nailed it

  • Comment removed

  • omg that women....."increased risk of cancer" it helps cure cancer, fact

  • increased risk of cancer. LOL. bitch needs to stop talking

  • LOL that cunt is brain washed by propaganda.

    First off, marijuana has NEVER been linked to lung cancer.

    second, marijuana does not cause schizophrenia; schizophrenia is hereditary... this has nothing to do with marijuana.

    third, she said that marijuana is the combination of alcohol and tobacco. well, people can just smoke a cig and drink alcohol... would they make that illegal?

    fourth, Calvina GAY changed the subject when that guy asked her about the drug cartels. Stupid, huh?

    Enough said.

  • yes it does cause schizophrenia. My cousin became schizophrenic from smoking marijuana. The doctor has the records and they said marijuana is the cause. The doctor has a phd and went to medical school. So dont try and make it seem like this toxic addicting poison is harmless!

  • that bitch is a disciple of the devil. i don't wish her death just a long life of suffering. my life depends on cannabis im not gonna stand for her lies.

  • I am an ultra conservative, but i HATE fox news (except for Glenn Beck) just as much as MSNBC and CNN. All they say us bullshit, and they just make people stupider and stupider. Yeah, maybe its conservative bullshit, but its still just as worthless as liberal bullshit.

  • with bitches like Calvina around, the truth will never set us free. Until people like her are sat down and shown the irrefutable SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that marijuana is safer, she will keep rambling her BS. I wish she had an idea of how much pain and suffering her bullshit facts have caused. That woman has done more harm to our citizens in the last 20 years that marijuana could do in 1000 years. People who continue to lie and use false facts for scare tactics should be rounded up for treason!

  • the old bitch is a fucking retard, at least the the guy has some sense and facts.

  • so what this women is saying is that the drug cartels might get into a war on the US and that's a reason not to regulate? seriouslly, is she high?

  • Wow all the stuff she said was bullshit....

  • marijuana is not addicting its a commodity so it can phsycologicaly addicting like chocolate, fried foods, shopping, gambling ect.

  • stupid bitch says weed causes cancer a mental illness hahaha find one study! one study! I fucking dare you

    marijuana cures heals and treats cancer patients and if all the tobacco smokers started smoking weed instead alot of cancer will be preventes

  • my cousin has skitsofrenic from smoking marijuana. The doctor said marijuana was the cause.

  • @KripDrip just cause someone is a doctor doesn't make them right

  • the doctor has a phd. He spend 10 years in medical school. He knows whats going on.

  • that chicks an stupid bitch she prob has never smoked and seen how harmless it isand everything that guy said was right

  • She's right that these cartels are connected with gun trafficking and all kinds of crazy crap.

    And if we had legalized MJ, grown here, we wouldn't be exporting cash to those assholes.

  • man montel williams smokes weed

  • hey guys lets spam this bitch !

  • 30 years ago I was on the dangerous slope of drinking more and more alcohol, sometimes mixed with legal benzodiazepine ... Then I discovered marijuana, and took it instead. Gosh, that's the cleverest thing I did, with respect to my health. I for sure don't regret it. The only comparable medication I met has been salvia divinorum. One puff of cannabis keeps the white jacket away, one puff of salvia keeps the black jacket away.

  • That woman might be the dumbest person I have ever seen

  • combination of alcohol and tobacco? that bitch is so fucking retarded, marijuana is far less dangerous than those two substances and it is not as impairing as alcohol or give you cancer. i function very well when i'm high and i can't control myself when i'm drunk. this cunt has no idea what she's talking about.

  • I'm not 21 yet, so if I want to buy alcoholic I would have to either get a fake ID or have someone go in the store for me. Back in my hometown, I could literally walk down the street 10 mins one way and buy some weed, or walk 15 mins the other way and buy even better weed.....

  • do you know how many pot heads live there

    have you not seen the vids of 420 on hippie hill?

    its gonna be legalized!

    this is far less harmful then beer which attacks the liver or cigs which cause cancer

    both those are legal

    and have you seen what beer does to people? i know a lot of girls who had the shit beat out of them by their drunk boyfriends...

  • is it legalized yet?

  • @KripDrip *pokes* i posted that last year before the vote ... i had high hopes (no pun intended)

  • A pipe dream? get over yourself. First off stop calling it the foreign term "Marijuana" which was used to describe Cannabis by Harry Anslinger in the 1930's to scare people into thinking that substance is dangerous to protect is companies soon to be monopoly on major commodities like plastic and paper. We live in the 21st century now and need not be influenced by somebody else's point of view. Use your head and start thinking for yourself!!!

  • this woman is retarded please go do your research for yourself

  • For 2 straight years I consistently used the most potent medical marijuana available to treat a stomach disease I have. Eventually I quit because I didn't need to continue using it anymore, and I had no problems doing so. Saying this is addictive is complete BS, and anybody claiming marijuana is addictive doesn't know what they are talking about.

  • #1 Treatment for Weed? yah right

  • @byrine

    it's true, but i've read that 3% of theese children in a treatment for cannabis addiction is there volountary, rest 97% had to choose between prison and treatment.

    So the woman can shuv that argument up her unshaved ass

  • it's not about the cartels just hanging up their hats and letting legitimate businesses run the marijuana industry it's about removing the profit insentive without the obcene profit incentive people wouldn't want to sell it. prohibition literally makes a PLANT that grows in DIRT worth more oz for oz than GOLD (which in truth has no real value anyway it's just an element some shiney metal). and without that chunk of change they would be much easier to deal with. (less money for guns and bribes)

  • the only reason marijuana is so expensive is because the supply is low due to the cops busting so many drug dealers and eradicating all those illegal crops. If it was legal, the supply would go up, the price would go down and use would skyrocket!

  • @KripDrip

    You are also actually incorrect that the use would "skyrocket" as evidence actually points to the opposite. Marijuana use has declined quite steadily since it was legalized in Holland in 1976. In fact the use of cannabis is higher in the U.S and the U.K than it is in Holland.

  • This lady doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Marijuana is a beautiful medicine that is ignorantly unutilized. The Cartels won't be able to compete with the primo cheap green that the legal shops will be able to provide. Same with the Prohibition of Alcohol, we don't have too much trouble with bootlegger's running home made shine across the canadian border or so much in the south either. Boom.

  • yes we do. Theres still hillbillies in the south distilling illegal liquor cause of the high taxes. People buy from bootleggers cause its cheaper since they dont pay tax on it.

  • BITCH GOT SERVED!!!!!!!!!!

  • I bet you anything that lady is a "Christian" no wonder she's misinformed!

  • @Holly9408

    Holly, I'm sorry that you feel that way! I am a Christian and I don’t feel the same as that lady. I believe we've all been misinformed. This has nothing to do with Christianity or God; it has everything to do with our Government. Please take some time to research the history of Marijuana prohibition. Christians are not the only ones that were deceived in this issue. The truth is, we could all stand to be educated in this matter.

  • She needs to learn some facts.

  • Someone stick there dick in that chicks mouth!!! what a stupid bitch!

  • dont drink and drive, smoke and FLY!!

  • This bitch was talking out of her ass.

  • I would like to know her credentials. She's probably an alcoholic.

  • drug cartels? my neighbor grows it in his garage!

  • do you guys really think it will be legal in cali in 2010?ive been so depressed and discuraged lately .i mean we're fighting bussiness and gomvenment here....somone please reasure me 9_9

  • i love how fox news says pot like a retard lol its cannabis we have cannabinoids in are systems already

  • As a Canadian I want to think Amricans are intelligent people. Please tell me nobody bought that crap from the female in this video.

  • @kokoth no worries dude. we all know that bitch was spewing pure concentrated bullshit. if we made pot legal then nobody would buy it from the cartels plain and simple. if she wants to talk about human trafficking, those are the real types of crimes that the cops and SWAT teams should focus on, and without marijuana on their agenda, they could do just that

  • @kokoth there are also plenty of groups including the police, politicians, and other industries that would lose profit or power if pot were legalized.

  • why dont you people in Canada get your government to legalize marijuana? Canada is not a state like California ruled by the US federal government. Its allowed to make its own rules. Why dont Canada just make marijuana legal?

  • @KripDrip

    The real reason is you guys to the south. Canada and America have a very important relationship for both countries, and if we made marijuana legal it would really piss off America and sour our relations...I've always felt that it needs to happen in America first...which it will. Its an education process, thats being exponentially more implemented and obviously having effects with the latest wave of decriminalization. BTW its been decriminlazied federally here for amounts under 30g's

  • marijuana has never killed anyone, caffiene is more addicting and kill more people per year. lets prohibit starbucks ahha

  • she is just brainwashing all of us. but dont let it happen. how the hell do you think the drug lords are finance and powerful? they sell us weed. if it is legal and regulated you wont go to the drug dealer, you will go into your local drug store show your 21 year old ID and walk out with good quality product. noone wants to do meth, they just get sucked into it through the dealers not marijuana

  • marijuana has absolutely NO health benefits. this medical marijuana bullshit is just an excuse for these drug addicts to get high. notice how they all look like trash on the street. none of them have any class or elegance. PUT THEM ALL IN JAIL!!!!! this world will be a better place!!!!!

  • @Helthazus What a Fuckin brainwashed fool. Im willing to list the medical benifits of cannibus.Common syndromes are for Insomnia, Bipolar, Cancer Effect, etc,,,, and Migraines from fucks like you saying ppl just wanna get high.

  • @Helthazus Also my mother had breast cancer 7 years back and guess what substance had the most positive effect through her Chemo!! Marijuana, not the 8 differnet synthetic pills! so next time educate yourself.

  • @Helthazus MY GPA is 3.5 and before i graduate I will make it at least a 3.7 and many of my colleagues smoke and are brilliant students.  I smoke like a muffler. I can infer from you statements that your intelligence is limited. The government outlawing a plant does not prove that it is harmful, it proves that the government outlawed it. ? Alcohol and Tobacco are both legal according to the government does that prove that they are harmless?

  • marijuana IS an addictive drug, and it is ILLEGAL for a GOOD reason.

    the government has outlawed it, which PROVES that it is a VERY harmful drug.

  • @Helthazus I hope this is ironic, because if it is not, you are the one that's need to be put in prison because of unbeatable stupidity...

  • and that bitch said you had to smoke it n shit well its your choice if you wanna smoke it but obviously that bitch never heard of the volcano or pot brownies

  • Comment removed

  • Wow that lady is so fucking stupid the cartels would be gone instantly she didn't even respond to that she just said there powerful and rambled a bunch of nonsense fuck you bitch

  • @MrTruthseeker69 that stupid woman reminds me of those times when taking an exam and you dont know the answer but you keep rambling on and on and hope they give you marks for confusing the shit outta them

  • @cannabisbisbisbisbis hahahahah i did that

  • only potheads thats high would think the drug cartels would go away. They still make money in cocaine, heroin, crack, meth, human smuggling, arms trafficking, contract killings, ect..

    what do you think? If marijuana is legalized, criminals will say "ok, im gonna be good and follow the law........" These are CRIMINALS!!

  • Did she link marijuana to cancer!!!!this women is fuking crazy! God im so sick of the Partnership for a drug free america sending Stepford wifes to spread there bullshit. This women clearly has too much sand in the vagin

  • the biggest studies have shown not only do marijuana have no harmful effects in regards to cancer, but might even provide protection against cancer. that stupid antidrug retard is clearly making things up, or reciting shit off reefer madness

  • I thought Miss Fay was a comedian, oh wait wrong person.

    Although this Miss Fay was very funny with the 100% lies that came out of her filthy lying mouth. By the way she is the director of Drug free America, which is sponsored by the alcohol industry.

    If you give her any credibility you may want to rethink your position.

  • and that woman doesnt know that all the mexican drug cartels human trafficing and gun trafficing is supplied by the drug money people give them for drugs... make weed legal and then america can have the money for their guns and illegal shit they dont tell the public. and kids are rebels so if you make weed legal kids will be like well its not rebellious so im done smoking pot... i guess ill just get drunk and crash a car or smoke some tobacco and whatever other toxic things are in my ciggarette.

  • i hope somebody runs that dumb bitch over or hits her with a semi.

  • bitch got burned

  • These "news" shows need to stop having both sides on if on if 10minutes of research shows that everything one side says is either misleading, a flat out lie, or just plain stupid.

  • At 3:40 Fey claims cartels won't give up their market is a "pipe dream." Well I don't think the Cartels can do anything about that. The quality of product grown locally instead of from giant fields that put out "dirt" weed in Mexico and Columbia, will leave no room for that bad product.

    The dank nugs will be a flowin folks.

    ***ATTENTION: California residents 21 and over: VOTE FOR THIS IN NOVEMBER!!! If you want this to pass, then EVERY ADULT YOU KNOW SHOULD VOTE WITH YOU!!!***

  • LOL marijuana is most definitely safer than alcohol! WTF if wrong with that bitch?

  • *Cannabis does not cause cancer what so ever.

    *Cannabis does not cause schizophrenia. That's not how schizophrenia works. People that have schrizophrenia and other mental illnesses are bound to develope them as they grow up, there are many drugs that will exasberate, as in have these symptoms come about sooner..they are inevitable anyways.

    The drug carters have no choice to, "go away" or not..they won't be able to stick around and compete with true capitalists when this is legalized

  • STUPID BITCH is stuck in the old times NEWSFLASH cunt weed was legal!!!............i would rather see a city block full of people smoking being happy and eating DUNKAROOS than seeing a city block of people being drunk throwing up throwing bottles listening to hardcore rock and hitting people which i had seen i would rather have a father who smokes with me and eats munchies than drinks and hits me and verbally abuses me and my mother FUCK FOX

  • fuck fox news

  • Stupid white bitch just defending the tobaco and ciggeret company. She has no idea what shes talking about we would have less crime and happy people who can freely smoke thier weed.

  • @grandtheftkodoo- If you must, stupid bitch is sufficient. No need to make it a race issue. You MUST be black. So typical.

  • "weapons, human trafficking.. ya know, they're all rolled up in it.. and they're not gonna like go away, i mean come on, they want to have money to, theyre criminals and like totally wanna do all kinds of bad stuff" dumb cunt

  • im suspicious as to why FOX is not running smear campaigns against marijuana... maybe they are in their deceitful kinda way.. but if theyre not... hmmm..

  • @utubemyspaceaim- it's 'cause they're closet pot-heads :-D

  • You can't just make a hard drug and weapons market pop up out of nowhere. The people want marijuana, not crack and guns.

  • yeah, so let corporations take over the industry.

  • im willing to bet that the drug cartels would be willing to walk away considering they aren't going to be able to fight the american government.

    she's the one helping the cartels because she's keeping them in business by trying to keep pot illegal. It's pretty simple. No profit = no business. If the drug cartels can't make a profit off of it( and if it's legalized, they can't), then they won't be able to keep their business running.

    drug cartel v. american govt.? Ill put my money on the govt.

  • is her name calvina FAYL?

  • @jkdsifu06

    That or Nurse Ratched

  • for one partnership for a drug free america gets HUGE backing from Pharmaceutical companies and they don't want to legalize cause of how much marijuana can do for two even mexico wants the USA to legalize it to help out the with the drug wars down there.

  • I know lots of resposible adults, good american people, with great jobs and high positions, there long time users, not any mind problems what so ever. Shes probably on a prescription drug or two with worse side effects, but since the doctor prescribed it, its o.k.....whatever!

  • Shes an idiot, ignorant, stiff. Yeah, you can smoke cigs nd drink alcohol, so your smoking and drinking and getting a buzz, plus more people are violent on booze, then theres the hangover at work monday morning, is that better, duh! dont think so, Wake up america. Its time to legalize it.

  • these people have to think farther! if marijuana is legal then the weapons trafficking and human traficking will go away in california because there is no reason for it! And...if it even is a combination of how bad alcohol and tobacco is (which its not) then it should still be legal because its a combination of two legal things! People are so stubborn! they just dont like change

  • shes fucking dumb! the mexcains are going to rise up and not let legittament bessnesses make all the money?

    wow

    refeer madness

  • Wow ..... reefer madness goes wild ! Crazy cunt !!

  • That woman dodges every single question and talks about something different all together. I hope she looks at this YouTube video and watches her stupidity play out like a bloody parade of propaganda.

  • first of all the reason for the respiratory problems is tghe fact that it is enhaled smoke, if you use a vapouriser the threat of cancer and respiration difficulties is not only nullified, its helped. as for the drug cartels, ofcourse theyre not going to stop, but marijuana is responsible for more than 50% of their revenue, if they loose that, they will become seriously more inactive as they lack the funding they once had. as for the kids, i think the guy nailed the argument .

  • do lawmakers not look at even the responses to this video and see how much the public disagrees with this law???? do the people not have a say at all anymore??? legalize and tax marijuana for 2010!

  • Wrong Calvina!!!The cannibiniods found in pot CURES CANCER. That woman is OBVIOUSLY being paid by the pharmaceutical companies to LIE about the benifits that pot has

  • yeah that bitch is fucking retarded

  • Goddamn that pisses me off. That stupid cunt needs to hurry up and die. Maybe she needs to get cancer so her doctor will tell her that she should start smoking marijuana.

  • amen to that...pot is harmless

    and partnership for a drug free America is funded by alcohol corporations....

  • I am shocked to my fucking core over the bullshit what came out of that womans mouth

  • @000razo000

    straight, she is so retarded

  • <3Mason Tvert!

    Fox Sucks. but yeah lets think about the economy too? there never would have been any depression scare and we'd be doing just fine.

  • Question for Calvina: How do you expect drug cartels to make money off of something that people can legally purchase?

    Calvina fails to understand history. When alcohol was re-legalized in 1933, Al Capone and the mob gangs went out of business because they were no longer able to deal something that people could legally obtain. The same thing will happen with marijuana and the drug cartels.

  • Does that lady think drug cartels should make our decisions for us or somethin'?"They're just not gonna give up their turf"..What are they gonna do about it?

  • that tax is way to high. thats like 25+ % tax.....

  • $50 an ounce would actually be about 800% tax, in a legal market.

  • how? what do you mean legal market? as compared to other goods?

  • Well based on liberal estimates it would cost about 25 dollars to grow one pound of quality medical cannabis in large scale production, legally. Once you add the initial markup, production cost, packaging, transportation etc.. you still only add maybe $70 per pound, add on top of that retail mark up, & sales tax, you'd only wind up paying between 58-65 dollars an ounce,with that extra $50 tax, & that's for the good stuff mind you.

  • ohhhh. yeah, in the legal market it wouldnt be that much, like i said, but yeah. take out all of the inflation and stuff and you probably would be that % over... which is ridiculous. $50 tax is crazy. why cant they just picture it like tobacco and treat it exactly the same. They should stop trying to make up their own system when there is already one that would work just fine....

  • Well there exist three types of people who believe pot should be illegal, those who benefit from it's illegality, those too retarded to reject propaganda or research for themselves, & the "moralizers" Now the fist two groups can't be persuaded, but moralizers can be, not through reason mind you, only through the universal language of money, by placing such a high tax on it they see the advantage of lining the govt coffers, whilst"punishing"pot users.

  • hahah. would the moralizers be the ones who can be put under the... crazy religious people section? thats what i think of it as... you cant do that its a sin, now heres all the reasons throughout the WHOLE bible on why. but yes, deffinatley the money people and the ones who are just to stupid... a friend of mine just did a sociology project/survey of our senior class in HS and he had a stack of papers, every one was for marijuana except ONE. and it was one of those... "retarded people"

  • most moralizers can be put into that category, but I've met more than 1 atheist moralizer. I used to be like that too,but I wandered what it was about & decided to give it a try, I even researched it before smoking it (I'm a nerd) before I even tried it I had to question why it should be illegal, also used to fall into the a fourth category the we would lose the benefits of the illegal market (ie lots of jobs) group , but long term that doesn't make sense.

  • yeah i researched it alot too, not really about its effects health wise but what it was like to experience. nothing like the stuff that i read really. everything was like talking about hallucinating and stuff and then i tried it and i was like... well i dont see anything but i feel great. lol. the legal market would create alot of jobs too. i hope its legal soon, i guess its pretty close, like 46% for it 54% against in the us. theres hope. lol.

  • According to the last zogby poll it was 56% in favor, 36% opposed. I asked people what it was like before, every one said it couldn't be described, the best description I've found was Carl Sagan's essay. I know the legal market would create jobs, but most people don't realize, maybe they don't want to realize how much of our economy actually relies on prohibition.

  • ... how do you get 56 and 36 percent? whats the other 8%??? how much does our economy rely on prohibition? at least on marijuana alone.

  • Sorry it's 52% for, 37% opposed I confused the national numbers w/ California's. Those are the statistics Zogby Inc. got. The remaining numbers fall into "no opinion" category.

  • It's hard to keep track of to be honest (being illegal) but think about it, cannabis is responsible for 2.7% of our GDP alone, add 60% cut in DEA spending, loss of jobs in the court system, prisons,"treatment centers", local law enforcement, Probation officers. Then add in the side industries that benefit like grow light manufacturers, urine analysis labs, UA test cheaters, All in all we might be looking at 3-5% of our GDP, maybe more.

  • Well, not necessarily. your saying we cut dea spending? that would save us money. but we dont have to, they COULD just spend the 60% on enforcing other drug laws. if thats what your saying, basically all of the stuff you listed doesnt rely solely on marijuana. There will still be all of that stuff just for things besides marijuana. It makes me wonder if 52% are for and only 37 against then WHY is it still illegal???? The government is supposed to do what the PEOPLE want.

  • The DEA wouldn't be able to justify their current budget w/o cannabis, It's the easiest drug to catch people with & is the most used illegal drug & as a result makes up for most of their arrests. Your right those industries don't rely solely on mj prohibition, but they do get large amounts of cash from it. Cont...

  • im sure its not that much from MJ alone. treatment centers will still have alcohol and tobacco and other drugs to be used at, or maybe for marijuana if it was legal, who knows. I dont think anyone honestly does that though. grow light manufacturers arent even supposed to be getting money for marijuana growin anyway since its illegal, but i think it would go UP. someones still gonna need the lights to grow it. i cant imagine people wanting to buy bulk outdoor stuff since it would be lower quality

  • The primary diagnoses for people in treatment is "marijuana addiction" 80+% are there for legal reasons in reality. You can grow dank out doors, as well as indoors, as well as growing it in greenhouses, the main reason people grow indoors is to avoid detection it's has little to do with quality.

  • yeah thats what i was getting at, that they are forced to do it. I know you can but if you have a big buisness growing like that its never going to be as good because they arent going to be as through. it does have a bit to do with quality because you can control every factor about the enviornment. and keep bugs away. also, i doubt any plants would be safe outdoors even if it was legalized. like ifyou have a garden in your yard.

  • @sk8ergangsta2003 you haven't grown much pot, have you

  • why because i said outdoor wouldnt be as good. its true. you obviously dont know much about nature.

  • @sk8ergangsta2003 nice one, you can apply the same applications to outdoor. Hydroponics, co2, pest control, etc. Indoor is faster, year around and can be done in any weather.

    That doesn't affect quality. Failure, take a class in horticulture.

  • uh. it can. outdoors DOES effect quality because theyre such shit as bad weather and mites and other pests. take a class in common sense.

  • I disagree that the government is supposed to do what the people want, I think it should do what's best for the people, unfortunately in our democracy politicians do what they believe will get them elected.

    It isn't legal yet for 2 reasons 1) This is the first year the majority was in favor of it, & 2) the 37% is much more adamant about it, most would never support a candidate that was in favor of legalization, whilst those on our side will support a candidate that is against legalization.

  • Well you can disagree, but that is what the government is for. You know theyre not doing what is best for the people, if they were there would still be alcohol prohibition. Tobacco would probably be illegal too. Even if its the first year what do you think will happen? Thats a very large majority. Even if theres 37% against it that other 52 would have more power. Plus no opinion could go either way but seems more likley to go for legalization. Most people already have their opinions. and--------

  • I not only disagree, but I know the US government was based on the principle that what's best for the people should be done not what the people want(Electoral college)& if the gov did do their job & do whats best they wouldn't have outlawed alcohol in the first place. The 57% do have more power, but choose not to use it, the 37 have less power but are adamant about using it. It will be made legal,not in the next two years probably but within the decade IMP.

  • Well yeah, but alot of the times presidents and stuff say something along the lines of how it is their duty to do what the people want when it is such a large number. Just learned about it in my gov. class, but you get what im saying. Yes, when the people dont KNOW about it they do what is "best" but when the people say I want this, and its a large majority they should be able to do it and can. I really do hope its legal. Yet theres still people who act crazy about it saying how horrible it is..

  • @sk8ergangsta2003

    Your words....

    You know theyre not doing what is best for the people, if they were there would still be alcohol prohibition"

    That right there proves you are a dumbass and don't know jack shit about prohibition.

    Actually from reading your comments, you dont know jack shit about anything.

    Prohibition is more harmful than the drug it'self. Legalize marijuana.

  • you must not have any idea what the hell your talking about because on one had you seem to think im an idiot, on the other, your agreeing with me. Your fucking stupid.

  • I think that it would most likley be people who were against it but now arent sure because of all of the stuff comming out and the amount of people for it. I cant see anyone being for it and changing to against it, when the majority of people are starting to be in favor of it.
