Lewis Black: Baby Boomers Should Legalize Pot on SIRIUS XM

[jjcale1111]

Pot has only been illegal since the 1930s... it a shame that people dont know history and think that how things are now are "normal" rather than the exception to the rule.

Its why people think Ron Paul is crazy ...but its actually the current leaders who are the extremists

[Robwilsonian]

Speaking as a borderline alcoholic and someone with no interest in pot - come on! Legalise it already! Its safer, encourages business, brings in major tax revenue and takes a massive bite of the illegal drug trades.Plus in the Netherlands, consumption actually fell due to the removal of taboo, regulation etc.

You can come at this from many political and moral angles but in the end it comes down to a simple "mind your own goddamn business".

[connorbassplayer]

@Robwilsonian pots not legal cause if it was, the drug lords would get pissed and they would lose money, creating more crime on a larger scale, and also racism.

Wake up and realize that we have all been lied to for years about the long term effects of pot, for monetary reasons, by those who stand to benefit by keeping pot illegal and alcohol legal.

Alcohol causes obvious detrimental health and social problems.

The apparent effects of pot are of shorter duration than those of alcohol.

Pot makes people feel good, more friendly and loving to others and family.

Alcohol makes people feel good and ready to beat someone's ass, including friends and family.

[msmeredith]

You're right. Humans are far dumber than lab rats...

[BusterXXXL]

They legalized pot, and thats why they didn't get anything done.

[Davetech23]

@BusterXXXL and you probably think they would have gotten something done if they had drank alcohol? It's funny how those who sneer at pot users think alcohol is just fine being legal, though it is a toxin that causes organ damage, mental impairment and loss of motor control.

The next time you rant against pot, substitute the word pot with alcohol and see how your argument goes.

[BusterXXXL]

@Davetech23 Cool down, i did not rant, I quoted from the video. Listen intently and you will hear Lewis Black say just that. BTW, I, personally don't get much done, either.

[Davetech23]

@BusterXXXL Heh, sorry, I didn't mean to direct the rant part at you in particular... meant these beer drinking people who stereotype pot smokers. My house mate can't hold still after a little smoke.. she starts cleaning the house and enjoys it!

[BusterXXXL]

@Davetech23 Darn, you are a lucky guy!

[lunalebelia]

ah so annoying make her shut up Let Lewis talk. :]

[ezkiel]

Sorry for your loss. But people who don't smoke anything ever get lung cancer too. Sometimes the odds are cruel.

There was a large study done with control groups, tobacco smokers, tobacco and pot smokers and just pot smokers. Tobacco was the only factor that affected lung cancer rates.

[heavenshaffer]

I like bake sales.

[abeedakbar]

Conservatives argument against pot "Why just pot? Why not go the whole route? Why not legalize Heroin and Crack?" (In a mocking voice). Here's the solution. Answer their stupid questions with stupid answers, that is how you get the message through: Why only legalize hand guns? why not hand-grenades? and machine guns or snipers? they would make hunting soooo much more fun and convenient.

[PookyTooth]

Lewis of course is a great comic and knows how to push buttons...These asholes are laughing because they don't have a clue where he's coming from..Lewis plays the nut and that is his selling point.....pot for medical use would be logical but...it must be stricly enforced....We have potheads in congress now and look where we are going....what wrong with having family values? These 60's morons fight the family probably since their childhood...now they want us all in their grasp...sickening..

[PookyTooth]

Let's all smoke pot this way when the Chinese walk up Pennsylvania avenue we can all smile and laugh while enjoying our Philly Steak Sandwiches....

[xkcman]

i bet you wouldn't have to hire bouncers at a pot bar, this country is so ass backwards sometimes

[xadam2dudex]

I think if they legalize pot then they should release all the non-violent people who were put in jail because of pot possession or sale if there is a good chance they won't turn into criminals after they are released....that would empty the jails of a lot of people saving billions to go towards retraining them for a job..too bad there aren't any jobs... that would hurt profits ..a lot of the unemployment is deliberate as psychological warfare against the population

[PookyTooth]

@xadam2dudex What fucking planet do you live on?..

[xadam2dudex]

@PookyTooth the one run by the corrupt corporate wealthy elite that buys the government and steals 1/2 the planets money while letting billions live in poverty

[PookyTooth]

@xadam2dudex Oh you mean all of Africa, Parts of Russia, All of the middle east except for Israel. All of South America run mostly by despots. Most of all China. Korea.. right? It woulnd't be America too because if it were you wouldn't be able to talk the way you are talking because would have been hung stabbed or shot a long fucking time ago...get It?

[xadam2dudex]

@PookyTooth u r blind

[PookyTooth]

@xadam2dudex I'm blind and your a dick

[xadam2dudex]

@PookyTooth lol.. u so crazy

[AbsintheGlasses]

Pot would probably get us out of the economy problem we are in.

The police wouldn't have to waste time catching weed dealers and go actual real criminals that bring harm to people.

Just regulate it and tax it like you do with alcohol or cigarettes.

[PookyTooth]

@AbsintheGlasses Yeah lets do that with prostitutes too...look at all the underground tax money we lost...and sooner or later your 12 year old will be able to go up to that Busty Blonde and get ahead in life....yeah right

[KamuiJr]

Hell yeah legalize pot! It can save the econmy and ppl. 

[PookyTooth]

@KamuiJr I can see salivating now....what are you fucking 12 years old waiting for your first beer?.. California is letting them have pot..and guess what ...the fucking winos are selling that shit to kids so they can get their wine....fucking geniuses ....

[MustBeFiend]

Goddamnit, this video made me love pot more than i already love pot. (and lewis black)

[PookyTooth]

@MustBeFiend Why just pot asshole why not crack or heroin ...go the whole route ...fuckhead...I can't wait to see you lying in an alley with a needle stuck in your arm....begging for another hit while your smoking some pumped up dope

[MustBeFiend]

@PookyTooth

1. it's a fucking plant

2. you can be 'addicted' to anything. fat people are addicted to unhealthy food. some people are addicted to music. some people are addicted to coffee.

3. before i did pot, i researched it and based on my logical reasoning, i found it stupid for it to be illegal (again point 1). while researching pot, i researched many other drugs. i would never fucking do cocaine nor crack.

4. please don't come looking for a debate if you're just going to insult me...

[MustBeFiend]

@MustBeFiend it makes you look very stupid. and seeing the replies from everyone else, you're looking like a douchebag. instead of bashing everyone. go do some research on pot and other drugs and see the issue on the other side.

[PookyTooth]

@MustBeFiend I'm not going to insult you..You fucking moron

[def44]

Keep On Shining*

Question Everything

= ) ; )

[420KUSHWIN]

those people who laugh over the legalization of pot should be punched in the face because they are laughing at about thousands of people that were sent to jail or fined over a plant that does no physical harm to no one at all if im smoking pot fuck them fuck the DEA fuck those ignorant greedy bastards that want pot illegal for the money and fuck bill o'reilly

LEGALIZE IT!!!!!

[PookyTooth]

@420KUSHWIN And fuck you too....

"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?" - Henry Ford

"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere." ~George Washington, The writings of George Washington Vol 33, page 270 (Library of Congress), 1794

[PookyTooth]

@silversobe YEah but they weren't smoking the shit asshole

[MarijuanaRadioTV]

Why do people laugh about legalizing? A good legacy is letting good people out of prison/jail who don't belong there. Why the f*ck was the idea of legalizing funny? Are folks in prison for something harmless funny?  Not to me.

[Celestiaan]

@MarijuanaRadioTV well not that i think that legalizing shouldnt happen but some ppl deserve to be there. Ppl shot each other over it but if it was legal I guess it wouldnt cause as many problems. Personally I dont see why its illegal and tobacco is perfectly legal

[XforeverlongingX]

@MarijuanaRadioTV no he said it in a funny way though he said my generation came to the planet to legalize pot.

[cheeseshoes]

@MarijuanaRadioTV it is when they're named bubba and kill child molesters as a substitute for a lack of pot

[FeelOfFriction]

We're such a stupid race.

[PookyTooth]

@FeelOfFriction Not stupid just filled with abundance.. We've had so much for such a long time we've spoiled this past generation.. American's are a great people who give to the poor, the aged, the homeless. They even allow scum like the ACLU to dictate to us about what they think the country should be...America looking for peace elected their first Black president hoping for change that would intergrate society and prosper...American's send money all over the world to help those in need.

[Cellophane650]

I feel like it should be legalized because, like he said, it's the fifth largest cash crop in the nation. not only that but if there were some sort of pricing regulations and product standardization on it, we'd know exactly what people were smoking so they wouldnt get some crappy laced shit and die in a dumpster somewhere and a price regulation would show just how much we'd gain from it.

[PookyTooth]

@Cellophane650 Yeah and we could take all the 55 mile an hour signs down and replace them with 10 mph...There would be more sandwich shops, pizza parlors would florish ten times over..It's the 5th largest cash crop because our spinless government won't go after the fucks...want this country to make money? Have a fair tax a tax only on products you but..This would generate biilions from underground business

[westernkypika]

Support legalization. Do your research and support measure to ensure that this becomes a reality. Take action and make your voice heard by writing to state representatives. It is crazy that the harmless plant continue to be demonized any longer then it already has.

[js21392]

Yea i completely agree with Lewis on this one!!

[PookyTooth]

@js21392 He's joking stupid...he's a comic ....get it? comic? one who tells us twisted truths to make us laugh?

[trZack]

@PookyTooth no im pretty sure he's for pot...

[js21392]

@PookyTooth wow u rele have nothing better to do than reply to everyones comments on here!!

[PookyTooth]

@js21392

Really ...then what the fuck are you doing on here...Dick Face

[js21392]

@PookyTooth Haha good comeback loser.... :P

[PookyTooth]

@js21392 Ha Ha go fuck yourself and smoke some more of that dog shit your using...

[js21392]

@PookyTooth Haha u should try some, it might give u a life!!

[PookyTooth]

@js21392 I was smoking that shit before you were born asshole...You know what's really funny? I know where you're going....Ha Ha

[js21392]

@PookyTooth lol ok so do we atleast agree on one thing, that it should be legalized??

[PookyTooth]

@js21392 You want it legalized...Yeah legalize it for dying patients only.. In California you can go into some asshole doctors office, say you have a pain in your back and he'll roll you a joint...Problem with that is a lot of scumbags take that pot and sell it to young kids sos the can get liquor instead...It's a fucked up system..It must be controlled and restricted.. I had too many buddies go from pot to crack and other hard substances

[js21392]

@PookyTooth Ur rite on one thing, they def have to find some way to control it, but jst like alcohol theres no way to completely control it, ur always going to have users that arent supposed to be using it, jst like anything else that gives u a high!! But its worse wen u have this Spice, K2 and other fake weed that is much more deadly and worse for u then the real thing!!

[js21392]

@PookyTooth This fake shyt is killing more people then weed ever has, which is prob 0!!

[PookyTooth]

@js21392 Loser? Look who's calling the kettle black....dick face

[js21392]

@PookyTooth wow way to be late on that one!!

[Louis69]

WTF are those morons laughing at he did not say a joke. Brainless twats.

[PookyTooth]

@Louis69 You know what's amazing is that Lewis doesn't do drugs...but he'll say anything that will make controversy leading to money

[Louis69]

@PookyTooth Same can be said for many many others.

[wcohlefeta]

@PookyTooth ok if you so against pot what about its close cousin hemp can be made in to any thing we need , cloths, rope , plastic , ect. not to mention the hemp seed that can be eaten and has twice the amount of protein than soy bean can produce more wood and paper in one acre than trees. how do you feel about that?

[PookyTooth]

@wcohlefeta I had a deer friend who smoked hemp and whatever shit they call pot today...he died recently...yeah died...of Fucking Lung Cancer...never smoked a cigarette, pipe or cigar in his life....so you go ahead asshole..you smoke whatever the fuck pleases you...don't come crying to me when your'e suffering

[wcohlefeta]

@PookyTooth im am sorry to hear of your loss but marijuana and hep are 2 different plants if you smoke hemp it actually has thc blockers in it. but im am truly sorry about your friend. (p.s. i never said pot cures cancer that has not been proven yet )

[sbjf]

@wcohlefeta Actually, it has been proven that while cannabis does not 'cure' cancer, it actually does statistically help in fighting cancer!

[rht808]

@sbjf Cannabis cures several cancers in lab rats.

[sbjf]

@rht808 Humans aren't lab rats.

[iriddell1]

@sbjf amen to that :)

[gingersnap515]

@PookyTooth Yah know, because correlation infallably proves causation, right?

[iriddell1]

@Louis69 thats the comic that is Lewis Black, even when he speaks, he is funnier than all get out! true, he is not telling "jokes," he is debating, yet being funny at the same time!
