This is stupid! yeah we all want full legalization! thats true! but that does not take away from the fact that it has incredible medicinal benefits! why not look at some MS patients! Legalization is something that should rightfully happen! but legalization of medical marijuana is a flat MINIMUM! to deny people a medicine that works without side effects just because yall been conditioned to hate marijuana and people just because they choose to smoke it is a travesty! you all should be ashamed!
I suffer from Chronic pain and Daily Migraines due to being hit by someone who was drunk from a "legal drug" (Alcohol). I was nearly paralyzed from the neck down. The dislocation of 3 of my vertebrae in my spine and the dislocation of my pelvis has been the cause of severe constant pain. I was taking the same medication that Heath Ledger overdosed on...when he passed away it shook me and made me realize that if I didn't get off the pain pills that I would be at risk of death.
I love how the person who posted this video claims there is some sort of conspiracy when the video is so chopped that you can tell it was edited 3 or 4 times mid sentence.
So let's get full legalization. People seem to think that pot is a form of mind control that inevitably turns you into a burnout. Did you know that the former CEO of Progressive Insurance was a pothead and under his care the co. grew by 50%? We need to apply our understanding of use vs. abuse to pot. We all know that Alcohol can be abused, but we agree that the majority of people use it in moderation. How is pot different? Any worldly person knows it's not.
when they talk about the sceme being blown ,they are talking about legal medicine ,anphetomine death rate is huge [prozac alone has killed over 10,000 [none ever from hemp]
every day 3 jumbo jets equivilent die by adverse reation to PERSCRIBED medication [by a docter and pharmisist]medical cannabis is the proper term [marijuanna is a bayer corp trademark]
This video is VERY old, and taken out of context. The clips at the begining were from a comedy skit, for some laughs, not being serious. Some of these clips are taken from reasonable discussions, but taken out of context to make them look bad. -_-
The woman at the end was making VERY good points about proper education.
Drug use is an issue that will never go away, never decrease, people will always want drugs. When Educating kids about drugs, specifically Marijuana, it's more harmful than good, to tell them it will kill you and make you a crazy addict, because that's a lie, and not the full picture. When kids do try it, and learn the lie, they will assume everything else about drugs is a lie.
It's a good policy, and common sense, to teach both sides. Yes drugs can be harmful, yes you could become an addict, but if you practice responsibility and teach that, along with the real harms and real science, and teach what is bad, and what is not so bad. They'll learn your message a lot better. People learn more when you don't lie to them. Anyway, thats just in defense of that last clip.
Simply put, Zero tolerance, never works. It's a fatal policy that does more harm than good. And Especially for education, teaching just say no, and zero tolerance doesn't work. The best thing we can do is stop treating a health issue, like a criminal one, and start treating Marijuana like cigarettes or alcohol. If it's the norm, kids learn it's for adults. Of course, some people will always be irresponsible, or break the laws, So punish them... Just don't punish responsible users, good people.
Alcohol offenders get heavier sentences than pot users. The reality is, small time users rarely get jail time. Those who are in jail for "possession" have generally plea bargained to that charge from charges related to distribution. Go ask your local law enforcement about it.
Keep telling yourself that. Something like 750 thousand people are arrested for Marijuana each year, 80% of that is for possession alone. 50%-60% of people in jail, are there for drug offenses, mostly marijuana. 75% of those were for Marijuana possession alone.
And those numbers increase each year. Sad isn't it?
It may not work for you, but it does work for many people. I've even know a few it's worked for.
Medical Marijuana is a real thing, backed up by real science. Double blind studies have even proven Medical Marijuana to be more effective than some pharmaceuticals out there.
You're right though, pot users don't deserve jail time anymore than responsible alcohol users do, or your common coffee drinker for that matter. lol
These people are iggnorant rich people.

As a severe chronic pain sufferer I can tell you that Pot does NOT help my pain at all.
HOWEVER, PRISON is not for pot smokers. Prison is for murderers &thieves.
Anyone who would put someone with the most brutal &violent thugs(prison)for possesing a mere PLANT is a REAL criminal.
Child rapists get less time than pot dealers!
This is coming from a devout Christian.
