You know what fuck it, if the goberment dont take this seriusly, as you can see, they all laughed out -.-( so annoying) i will still smoking pot, by the ilegal way, so i am just tired of specting this assholes to realise marijuana must be legalized, anyways i can buy my high cuality herb, when ever the fuck i want, peace.
also i think we would have less problems with dirty drugs (bcoz gouvernmental control) by legalizing pot. Imagine soccer games havin no more hooligans, but more chilled people (Alcohol can make people aggressive, from my experience more than cannabis). Both can lead into addiction, both are serious drugs. There are so many intolerant people, thinking that alcohol is better. I guess there should be more tolerance. Ive never heard of a person on marihuana beating up another person.
what the fuck is the difference between Alcohol and marihuana?I´m from Germany,not totally involved in American Politics.What i ve seen in my life,were people destroying their families and themselfes by drinking alcohol.In Germany we have many alcoholics living on the street,no job,no money,but money for getting a new drink,asking the people around for money to get some food.Ive never seen people just smoking having these problems. legalizing would bring taxes, jobs and an alternative to alcohol
@rysskryssning I smoke and there's a very high likelihood that I'm much smarter than you and everyone that you know. I smoke everyday and have an IQ of 143 tested professionally, also I'm a dean's list cum laude graduate in philosophy and have grad school recommendations from a former president of the American Philosophical association. you should educate yourself about what marijuana users are actually like. some of them suck, but the majority are normal people with plenty of intelligence.
@stethoscanomaly Look, I think you're misunderstanding me here. I'm not trying to say I think people smoking it are any less intelligent than people who aren't smoke it, I'm just saying that it's a really retarded thing to do. You gain nothing out of smoking, it's just bad for you.
@rysskryssning youre an idiot. what do you get from drinking a beer or driving your car ?... nothing so doing those things must be retarded too. you have obviously never smoked and been have brainwashed.
@pretendosse Naturally it's retarded to drink too, how thick can you get? :'(
The thing about drinking is that it doesn't harm the ones around you unless you choose to fuck up, smoking does it regardless. Smoking/drinking are both terribly bad. I've never EVER said that drinking is good, so stop making crap up, jesus.
@rysskryssning oh I see. I guess in that case I would just say this: prior to using marijuana (or any other drugs at all besides a little bit of alcohol) i was so thoroughly caught up in my own egotism trying to prove to everyone around me that I was constantly right about everything and this caused me, and those friends who put up with me, a whole lot of stress and anger. When I started smoking I was able to slow down and realize that being right all the time...
@rysskryssning ... being right all the time isn't what makes people like you, or the reason your friends hang out with you, they just want your company. This general easing of my demeanor has helped me in my personal life SO much and I am SO much better for it. For me, careful, responsible drug use (use is not abuse!), specifically marijuana, lsd, mushrooms, and mdma, has brought about such tremendous personal growth and insights that I consider it one of the most important things in my life.
As a stoner, you've got to understand that a president who proposes legalization will be shot down in words. or killed. we need a GOOD president first who can even think of proposing it.
When I was in school there were students selling cannabis and other drugs. There was not one person in the school selling alcohol. Now, I can get pretty much any drug dropped off at my door. It's still a bitch to get beer. GO CANADA ;-)
I can see how legalizing and creating a monopoly out of marijuana, something that doesn't contain nicotine and addictive additives as well as harboring dangerous bacteria that may cause cancer, and benefiting our economy is something to laugh at-wait..no....no i can't. Give him a break, but at the same time damn Mr. president give us a break.
@Khazanah by taxing it and it would also take away power from drug lords in mexico by bieng sold in stores they would ask 4 id and kids like me wouldnt be able to get it that easy so ya its a good idea
@gktremor I'm a stoner but I think this will degrading the social intelligence if they legalize it. I've been doing stoner jokes in front of the "regular people" and they doesn't pleased with the joke at all.
@LegalizeKush : You hit that right on the bullseye. Roughly 50 million americans smoke marijuana in the united states, i'm pretty sure they would've voted for someone who was for it. People are tired of the bullshit, we're tired of being manipulated, tired of hiding something that is neither harmful to the body or to society. In fact, it's actually very beneficial; it has thousands of uses....legalize it already. Vote yes on prop 19.
only reason you got so many votes mr obama is because everyone believed that you would legalize marijuana so all those smokers voted for you.. then after you are president for awhile you say nvm on the "lets legalize marijuana" and you decide to ignore it... and now the public is taking it into there own hands, to get marijuana legalized
obama's such an ignorant deuchebag. seriously. he hasn't done shit, and everytime he talks about the economy, he always adds "that i inherited.." as if blaming bush every 20 seconds makes him look any better!! Well i say, FUCK YOU.
That question was not "fairly" HIGH, it was by far and away, the #1 asked question online.. Don't ignore the very people who believe in you President Obama, you know somebody (in your family) who smokes and you have the OBLIGATION to directly answer the most pressing issue in this country. JOBS? THE HEMP INDUSTRY HAS THE MOST IMMEDIATE POTENTIAL for creating AMERICAN JOBS OVERNIGHT! Please re-think the stance of the DEA and your DRUG CZAR, please BRING FREEDOM BACK TO THE UNITED STATES!
obama is a fuktard. HES SMOKED POT. He should know the hypocrisy. But wat do u expect from a puppet who just plays a crowd. He said hes gonna cut the deficit in half. What a liar! His bullshit stimulus put us so far in the hole we need wings to get out.
1:15, well then the answer is 'yes',... ur a dumbass. It didnt rank fairly high either, I voted on that like 2yrs ago and it was the #1 question out of everything !!!
Thumbs up if you hate Obama's dismissive methodology on this one !
@mariahjay1985 yes the government pisses me off i was in college, got caught, and now i'm workin 9 to 5 in a crappy fuckin job and i'm now scraping bottom to go back. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!!
I don't know, I mean, Obama admitted to smoking, but maybe it's just because he grew up being taught that it's "bad". I just get the vibe that he wouldn't actually mind the legalization of cannabis and is trying to protect his reputation from the conservativeness of our society.
The Creator gave us this plant for a reason. No one has the right to declare any plant illegal. Corrupt governments and unethical politicians, Big business and the medical, religious and scientific groups should leave Mother Nature alone and stop phucking with the environment. Stop raping our planet you bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus .. this is bullshit, now He said that it would make the White House more open and accesible . .. Well, i think its bullshit . . BECAUSE !! . . Even if it made it more open . . they still are gonna hide shit from us . . . all of the stuff we have right now, in technology, weapons . . . the Gov't has stuff years ahead of it . . in Gov't and Area 51 . . . back when Roswell happened, my grandfathers sister knew something she wasn't sp to, she was dating an agent . .and she was killed.
@TheGibsonman59 And .. that says that the Gov't wants to keep the public in the dark about this and then handle it themselves, w/ more payoffs etc. . .. . this so-called president of ours is not impressing me. . .HE GOT THE NOBEL PRIZE , .. .. FOR WHAT ?? . . NOTHING ? . . . This is where George Carlin wd come in, if only he was here to help us in this time of need . . He wd know what to do .. GC for 2012 ( if he was here ) . .and this makes me not wt to vote, rem what he said about vting
if the U.S wants to cut spending we should cut down half of our military spending/buying instead of taking it away from schools and education, now taking money out of schools only hurts the united states even more by making the next generation not as smart, now the us is in so much deabt that the country no longer functions as a whole as used to, but i personally agree that leagalising marujuinana is absurd, not only will our children be affected,but the united states would turn upsidedown thx!
@Lancearodriguez Its funny the top % of them are really satanic. Im sure if it did lead to possession and whatnot, they would be giving out.(or doing it themselves) Its just propaganda, worse than marketing. Take vitamin water for example. "This has the benefits of water, and gives you vitamins." No, its h20& sugar. "This goes against your religious beliefs, dont do it" /facepalm
Also, .someone sitting behind bars all day isnt making any profit. I would imagine those fines arent helping at all.
its sort of sad how he address a major concern of the people by simply laughing at it. wait who is it that is controlling the government? last time i checked i thought it was the people.hmm i must be wrong.
they have their own agendas of throwing innocent people in privatized prisons.
The majority of the people want it and we cant have it? What the fuck kind of force is at work here. Either we are slaves or we are not. Its time to get mad and im ready to die over this shit. Ill go down with honour mother fuckers.
I think they should make it a crop before a cigarette. In other words, they should make it legal for farmers to grow and harvest for its vast amount of products, (Hemp paper, rope, oil, plastic) and from there we could think about selling it as a recreational drug.
OH BULLSHIT. More than half the country smokes marijuana. If he were to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana we would have plenty enough money within each state to spend on the most important issue of anything: education. God damn this pisses me off so much.
@djnoobcake True, I guess. But still, if it was at least legalized then we would save all those billions of dollars from arresting innocent pot smokers putting money into the so-called "War on Drugs" (which we all know is a big bunch of fail anyways) to spend on more important things.
Isn't it funny that everyone laughs at this issue. It isn't funny for those in jail and the havac their families experience due to prosecution. Stop the insanity. Legalize and get on with other business. Henry Ford created a car made of Hemp plastic to run on Hemp ethenol in 1938.
He doesn't think legalizing MJ will be good because he's a fucking puppet, and big pharma, beer and cotton companies and probably the cartel's have him in their pockets. FUCK YOU OBAMA and those stupid fucking idiots clapping like scared little sheeple in the background!!
this cunt is just the same as every other politition. just because hes black people think hes going to be a great president. i wouldnt be suprised if the whole thing was a setup. heres a black president be happy lol but in reality hes just as bad as bush. obama sends people to war still and wont legalize a safe drug like cannabis but wil sell leathel drugs like alcahol.
John McCain's wouldn't be any different. The question wasn't specifically about legalizing marijuana it was "would marijuana help the economy and job creation." and the right answer is yes it would but everybody in political power is too ignorant to even look at the subject thoroughly. Legalizing marijuana could help in more than one way. There is the economy which would be boosted from new jobs, tax money, and related goods or service. Also medical use, and industrial uses of hemp.
PUNCH EM IN THA THA THROAT!!!??? I WANNA FUCKING PUNCH THEM ALL IN THA FACE!!! BREAK THERE NOSES IN!!!!!!! For fuck sake there are innocent people sitting in jail right now!!! Just for simply liking pot... WHAT KIND OF FREE COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN??? LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
stupid fuckin pricks. all of those faggots in the background luaghing like weed is gonna make everyone stop doing everything and just sit there. its freakin stupid as hell you when consider that most of them probly went home and had they a glass of wine or a beer. fuck obama and every other homo in that room!!
The longest journey begins with the first step but Obama isn't willing to take that first step. As working parents in a dying economic , we have no time to teach our children anything, we're working our fingers to the bone just to keep up with the rising drain on our resources. The rich get richer, the poor get richer and the working class supports them both. No wonder alcoholism is at an all time high, the people have no other option to relieve their troubled souls.
Let's stop "investing" in the jailing of American citizens for smoking pot. You will let us smoke ourselves into lung cancer with big tobacco and it's lobbyists. You'll suck up to the drug companies and let them drink our blood. You'll keep making the drug lords richer as they breach our borders and neighborhoods. you'll tell us that you can't afford to give us reasonable costing health care. Why do we allow you to keep fucking us over? isn't it a time for revolution? You serve us, remember?
We must bind together as a people united and stand up to the slavery that they have been slowly tricking us into over the last few generations. Problem with doing that is many of us have been trained from birth to think the government is on our side. My belief in my government shattered years ago, but I still support them because if they were gone all the enemies they made for us will overpower.
There is no difference between capitalism and oppression. The capitalists control the working world by oppressing the workers, the government supports the capitalists at the expense of the taxpayers. It'll never change and the progressive thinker knows it. We're victims of a simple law of nature, the law of gravity which bears out the fact that shit rolls downhill, it always has and always will. Laws of nature are unchangable and not easily altered. We're all simply fucked without a chance.
You are right. There is no difference. I acknowledge the error of my words. Still, I feel that we must educate ourselves and our children. Capitalism only works for you if you have money and connections. No body of government has been perfect in our worlds history, and no government ever will be, but as the people stuck living with the oppression I feel we must fight for what we believe in. No matter the cost, no matter how hopeless the situation is.
In the 66th year of my life, I have seen much, over the course of these years. I exist on this thread of comments to underscore my disdain at Mr. Obama's hasty shucking of a serious question solicited by him and then, so casually thrown aside.
As one who voted for him, I believed in his promise to work for change, held faith in that promise because I saw him as an honest man as he rose to this end.
If his example here, is indicative of the way that he plans to deal with the other
pressing issues of the day, I am sorry that I was foolish enough to vote for him and regret placing faith in him.
The marijuana issue may seem trivial but the unwise decision to evade the issue has done him more harm than good, he has gone up the same, double-speak highway in the manner that his predecessors have,diminishing his credibility with many.
The pot issue is but one issue but his response to it, foreshadows his level of care and the shame of it is, that he believes we're fools.
Obama blew his credibility by the sham deal he gave to the hundreds of thousands of people who asked him a serious question about marihuana. While campaigning, he elicited votes based upon his seeming interest in dealing with this age-old issue, he promised to look into changing the archaic drug laws, reviewing the foolish prohibition on pot.
He dishonored every voter whom held confidence in him. He did what every scumbag politician has ever done, he used us for personal gain. Change? My ass!
He brought us change when he became our first half black president. He gave us what we asked for, like sheep to the slaughter. In that his promise was successful, however, it is not the change we wanted, is it? We deserved to be fooled for trusting a politician who works in a potentially manipulative and corrupt government. Now let's fix the problem.
As one of the voters who helped to bring him to the presidency, we brought about that change, not Barak. Many, turned to him in good faith, asking him to work at the change which he promised. just as many were turned-off by the way that he dealt with the solicited question, " do you think that a change in the laws concerning marihuana would help the floundering economy" (or verbiage to that effect). His response was far from the picture that he painted while he sought the presidency.
You suggest, that we "STAND LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS AND BE HEARD" but, we did stand, he didn't want to hear us, didn't want to take us seriously. Obviously, he considers marijuana users as less important than others thus he "blew-us-off".
Obama set an example by the casual way he skirted a pressing issue, the need to review the war on drugs and begin to be constructive about a new approach to a losing war.
Obama isn't really change, he's more of the same but of a different color, no more no less.
Watching a commercial for prescription medicine, I see that as a footnote, they blow through a plethora of side effects which seem to be more lethal than the reason for even taking the drug. They give these designer drugs fancy names and charge big dollars for them. They are in cahoots with doctors who readily write scrips for them.
Big pharmacy can't make ANY money on the few pot plants that you grow at home. They pay major money to politicians to keep you from healing yourself. Welcome to USA
If there were only more people with the same insight and knowledge. Too bad most people are afraid to go outside the bubble and see the hypocrisy and the theft that is going on in the world. We can drink until we pass out, fuck up our liver and in the end die. We can gamble away all our money. We can smoke cigarettes that are killing us by every breath of smoke. But we can't smoke a plant that makes you happy, calm and creative and that has never killed anyone // Johan from Sweden
If you don't believe that pot can connect you to some inner consciousness, why would they believe that the shit that the drug companies are pushing should be any different?
The pharmaceutical companies are as much in the "drug pushing" business as anyone else is but without a level playing field, marijuana advocates don't stand a chance.
I'm for leveling the field and increasing the warnings on prescription drugs, to match the stigma that the misleading government has put on marijuana.
Drinking is legal because the mega-companies that sell liquor and draw a fat profit from it, pay huge sums of money to senators and congressmen to keep marijuana illegal. they do not want the people to have freedom of choice, to opt to smoke pot instead of drink alcohol when they socialize or look for a mind altering substance.
The government can't intelligently defend their position because we are an educated generation, not the dumb cows that accepted their control of a natural weed.
he just basically made fun of thousands of people trying to speak there opinions thats kinda messed up espescially when it really would help no it probably wont stop this resession the gas prices on the rise once again but it will create jobs and it will create money for our country plus they could concentrate on the rapeist and all those meth heads and heroin attics that rob people everyday I could go on and on but..........
NORML will be pissing and moaning forever off this. All they seem to do is ask for money and send people on interviews to be laughed at and talked over and then post articles about how nobody wants to legalize MJ....they r really doing their part!
why are they loughing i dont understand and why would he insult an inetnet audience ? Isnt the same audiendce that made all questions ?? Or are they answering wht they want to and doing what they want to instead of doing what people wants ?
I've never been much to preach about how much marijuana legalization could help the economy here in Canada or down in the United States, the real question I'd say, is if it could hurt the economy to try it out. The answer to that is NO.
no.. GARY JOHNSON 2012. He supported Ron Paul when he was running, he's also a libertarian who will run as a republican, and he doesn't have as many eccentric ideas (so he has a better chance.) Plus, he's a lot youger than Paul.. ridiculously, people would actually hold age against Paul, as they did with McCain. So if you want cannabis legal, as well as a lot of other 'change' in America...vote Gary Johnson 2012
ma president inhaled frequently and wasnt affected by it ciggarettes are a gateway drug and kill lots of people there are people against ciggarettes just like there are people against marijuana they need to read more about it
i want to get a huge group together and go picket outside the white house on how ignorant obama was answering the marijuana question! this is really sad! i wish id never voted for this piece of shit.
The video response I posted includes a response from Denver legalization activists to Obama's dismissal of the question. Furthermore, Mr. President, we are wasting millions on unjustifiable incarcerations of non-violent drug offenders, whose crimes have no victim, while you say this or that strategy will help the economy! Save money and legalize it, also tax revenue from sales will help, and America will instantly look a hell of a lot more humanitarian than it does currently, or has for decades!
Modern technology has devised many new uses for the hemp plant and dash;like biomass energy, building materials, fuel, plastic and so on. Hemp is ecological and its seed is among the best food crops on Earth. Can hemp boost economy? Yes it can
There wasn't a thing funny about the question of legalizing marijuana. Since Obama doesn't seem to have a plan to get out us of this economic debt, the legal sale and distribution of cannabis just might...if he wasn't so busy chuckling maybe he'd realize that...after all, by his own admission "the point is to inhale."
Arresting the terminal ill is funny, huh Obama? Yeah it's really funny, but people will keep on dying because you decided to keep on laughing. Didn't you smoke a lot of pot when you were young? Hypocrite much?
Why is he laughing? It's not funny at all. While the government reserve the right for people to consume alcohol and strip away the right for people to use marijuana, that guy is laughing? Damn, I wish I never voted for Obama. I should've voted for Nader or something. People should have the right to smoke marijuana as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. Obama 4 change? Nah it's more like Obama 4 same ass shit.
@tarokirl i agree president FDR legalized alcohol during the great depression and that created entire industries and companies making the country millions of dollars and creating jobs...obama is just copying and pasting what FDR is doing so why cant he just legalize a simple 'plant' not drug this could create even more jobs but no all these goodie two shoes rich assholes still are brainwashed thinking its a drug...its not like crack or heroin jackasses!
I wanted Obama to succeed, but he is not doing what he pledged to! He's continuing Bush's NSA wiretaps!
There's a Dangerous Orwellian international treaty called ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, started under Bush, that the Obama White House has only allowed Corporations/Lobbyists to read! The public cannot read it! That is WRONG! He said "open government"! He's owned by the corporations! McCain would sign ACTA too, I hoped Obama was better than him!) Go To IPjustice . org/acta PLEASE!
If all the profits of marijuana sells went to the economy it would boom hemp is also a great way to use the cannabis plants but.... fuck you barrack fuck you
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
rovij..go play your vide games and shut the fuck up..you pathetic little bitch...you threaten peoples lives then go about your business..you are a fucking bitch...lol....i am still waiting for you to show up faggot..in america we can defend our property with lethal force...and trust me when i say you show up here you are not going home faggot
i think that obama beleives by him being the first black president and legalizng weed he would fit into the "blacks smoke pot" stereotype and he doesnt want that he wants blacks to seem more educated now than ever.
while people are laughing at a serious solution to a serious problem, lets also see them laugh at how when the prohibition of alcohol ended the government made millions!!!!
You are correct spokeshole. Obama is a narcissist. He is only interested in promoting himself. He has been on more television, radio and internet in his short tenure than Bush or Clinton was altogether. He is in love with himself and will continue to use every avenue available to him to brainwash the weak into giving him more power than he deserves. The people asked for change---and got a ham.
This cocksucker is writing checks his ass can't cash,and we'er the ones who will have to pay for it.For fuck's sake,will someone shoot this prick already?1?Where the hell is an assassin when you need one?
Your an uneducated slum bum; can't think of anything to say but words of slum garbage filled with vomiting slush of words. Go to school and learn while you still have 1/2 a mind, maybe than you'll know who you are"stubid"!
Just in case you 18-25yr olds that Obama Conned into voting for him thought he actually cared about your opinion. Here he lays it out plain and simple. If it's not good for his ongoing campaign for domination, he's not gonna do it. Why should he be concerned with a new industry to tax and ending illegal marijuana trade.
How is this a laughing matter? We need legalization of marijuana. We waste millions of federal/state money raiding and incarcerating the use/possession of marijuana. We should regulate and fairly tax the sale of cannabis. This would slightly improve our economy in a positive direction.
Honestly, Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!
Obviously this guy has not considered the growth of the economy of the USA via the medium of production of hemp. Legalisation and production of medical marijuana would free up the prisons of innocent "lawbreakers" who have chosen marijuana as their drug of choice as opposed to alcohol which is the true killer of a prosperous society due to the amount of monies poured into healthcare, policing and emergency admissions for overdosage. Legalise and utilise, Mr Obama !!
I can finally say with conviction that obama is an idiot. although I guess its only fair for him to make a joke of my job because his has been a joke for 200 years.
Marijuana is not the question...survival of the nation is the question. How do we survive this guys debt that he has laid on us. He lies and distorts the truth and his answers. This was just another campgaing tactic by obama tryng to show he really cares about what Americans think, he doesn't care. Smoke you fucking pot I don't care. If your not an American citizen then shut the fuck up. I don't give give a rats ass what anyone from Canada or the Neterlands has to say, they don't matter.
2. it's the national debt. not Obama's. he's been in office 60 days, and he's addressing many difficult problems at once. that can be expensive.
3. his anti-legalization position indicates that he does care what Americans think. most americans still believe your reefer madness BS even though it has been thoroughly debunked by legitimate science. he's playing politics
4. youtube isn't just for americans. like it or not foreigners can be right.
I'm anti marijuana, and anti obama period. If your not an American shut the fuck up you got no say about anything regarding the US. And you can shut the fuck up too. obama has difficult problems, he gave us a 7 trillion dollar problem. Keep hitting your pipe and stay in your cave.
ocreynolds : up Obama's cornhole. Someone should be asking why the State of Mass. has apparently legalized pot , instead of asking his blank opinion. That's where Obama lives , in a blank on a piece of paper.
Hate to say it, but socialism, healthcare, and freedom are probably more beneficial to a well structured society. I guess I like being an American but moving totally makes sense. Jokes on Obamaa
A political response but it does not address the problems. NY State just reversed the Rockefeller Drug Laws. That is a step in the right direction. As long as people have to act criminally to get a medical treatment which works for them, there will be drug wars.
Rich people NEVER go to jail for drugs. The laws are used against the poor, the disenfranchised and politically "incorrect " citizens. Never forget that.
Stop the hypocrisy! Legalize it, let citizens live in peace in their homes.
I like how obama can laugh at the fact non-violent offenders are being locked up and having their lives ruined. We also have college kids getting hefty fines for something less harmful than drinking, forcing them to either drop out, or get a job to pay the money, taking further time away from their school
Its really not a laughing matter, and i would like to hear an apology from every single cunt in that room, including Mr President.
Its really just common sense that marijuana should be legal.... I mean, not only does science continue to prove every day that it's absolutely harmless, but this is supposed to be a free country. What I choose to do in my own home is really none of the government's business...
Not only that, but people do and will smoke pot, but keeping it illegal gives the profits to violent drug cartels, when that money could be saving our economy.
It's just common sense, whether you smoke it or not.
calling other people illiterate and you can't spell for shit and "you neither doesnt know" is not grammatically correct. stop smoking pot and go to school retard!
I went to school, and I smoke lots of fucking pot. I also know that it won't be legalized because we, the people, are basically nothing but pussies. Rights are taken, privileges are granted. Free people take their rights. Slaves accept their privileges. Now you know why it is illegal. And why our government hates us. Who could help themselves from hating people who beg to be slaves? ?Wake up people.
I dont care if Obama legalize..you can kill all the motherfucker wetbacks with your ludacris war with Felipe calderon, I'll continue smoking with my friends and we dont give a shit.
You know what fuck it, if the goberment dont take this seriusly, as you can see, they all laughed out -.-( so annoying) i will still smoking pot, by the ilegal way, so i am just tired of specting this assholes to realise marijuana must be legalized, anyways i can buy my high cuality herb, when ever the fuck i want, peace.

also i think we would have less problems with dirty drugs (bcoz gouvernmental control) by legalizing pot. Imagine soccer games havin no more hooligans, but more chilled people (Alcohol can make people aggressive, from my experience more than cannabis). Both can lead into addiction, both are serious drugs. There are so many intolerant people, thinking that alcohol is better. I guess there should be more tolerance. Ive never heard of a person on marihuana beating up another person.

@stethoscanomaly Look, I think you're misunderstanding me here. I'm not trying to say I think people smoking it are any less intelligent than people who aren't smoke it, I'm just saying that it's a really retarded thing to do. You gain nothing out of smoking, it's just bad for you.
It's like you're committing a drawn-out suicide.

I guess in that case I would just say this: prior to using marijuana (or any other drugs at all besides a little bit of alcohol) i was so thoroughly caught up in my own egotism trying to prove to everyone around me that I was constantly right about everything and this caused me, and those friends who put up with me, a whole lot of stress and anger. When I started smoking I was able to slow down and realize that being right all the time...

@rysskryssning ... being right all the time isn't what makes people like you, or the reason your friends hang out with you, they just want your company. This general easing of my demeanor has helped me in my personal life SO much and I am SO much better for it. For me, careful, responsible drug use (use is not abuse!), specifically marijuana, lsd, mushrooms, and mdma, has brought about such tremendous personal growth and insights that I consider it one of the most important things in my life.
stethoscanomaly 7 months ago
oh fuck that. well, no one cares if we smoke anyways, so it doesn't need to be legal.
also, it wouldn't affect me.
BUT legalazing marijuana would decrease drug related crimes a lot. also works for heroin etc, but i still.. i don't support hard drugs.

John McCain's wouldn't be any different. The question wasn't specifically about legalizing marijuana it was "would marijuana help the economy and job creation." and the right answer is yes it would but everybody in political power is too ignorant to even look at the subject thoroughly. Legalizing marijuana could help in more than one way. There is the economy which would be boosted from new jobs, tax money, and related goods or service. Also medical use, and industrial uses of hemp.

There is no difference between capitalism and oppression. The capitalists control the working world by oppressing the workers, the government supports the capitalists at the expense of the taxpayers.

In the 66th year of my life, I have seen much, over the course of these years. I exist on this thread of comments to underscore my disdain at Mr. Obama's hasty shucking of a serious question solicited by him and then, so casually thrown aside.
As one who voted for him, I believed in his promise to work for change, held faith in that promise because I saw him as an honest man as he rose to this end.
If his example here, is indicative of the way that he plans to deal with the other

LongIslandEddie 2 years ago
pressing issues of the day, I am sorry that I was foolish enough to vote for him and regret placing faith in him.
The marijuana issue may seem trivial but the unwise decision to evade the issue has done him more harm than good, he has gone up the same, double-speak highway in the manner that his predecessors have,diminishing his credibility with many.
The pot issue is but one issue but his response to it, foreshadows his level of care and the shame of it is, that he believes we're fools.
LongIslandEddie 2 years ago
Obama blew his credibility by the sham deal he gave to the hundreds of thousands of people who asked him a serious question about marihuana. While campaigning, he elicited votes based upon his seeming interest in dealing with this age-old issue, he promised to look into changing the archaic drug laws, reviewing the foolish prohibition on pot.
He dishonored every voter whom held confidence in him. He did what every scumbag politician has ever done, he used us for personal gain. Change? My ass!

He brought us change when he became our first half black president. He gave us what we asked for, like sheep to the slaughter.

Now let's fix the problem.

As one of the voters who helped to bring him to the presidency, we brought about that change, not Barak. Many, turned to him in good faith, asking him to work at the change which he promised. just as many were turned-off by the way that he dealt with the solicited question, " do you think that a change in the laws concerning marihuana would help the floundering economy" (or verbiage to that effect). His response was far from the picture that he painted while he sought the presidency.
LongIslandEddie 2 years ago
You suggest, that we "STAND LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS AND BE HEARD" but, we did stand, he didn't want to hear us, didn't want to take us seriously. Obviously, he considers marijuana users as less important than others thus he "blew-us-off".
Obama set an example by the casual way he skirted a pressing issue, the need to review the war on drugs and begin to be constructive about a new approach to a losing war.
Obama isn't really change, he's more of the same but of a different color, no more no less.

If you don't believe that pot can connect you to some inner consciousness, why would they believe that the shit that the drug companies are pushing should be any different?
The pharmaceutical companies are as much in the "drug pushing" business as anyone else is but without a level playing field, marijuana advocates don't stand a chance.
I'm for leveling the field and increasing the warnings on prescription drugs, to match the stigma that the misleading government has put on marijuana.

Drinking is legal because the mega-companies that sell liquor and draw a fat profit from it, pay huge sums of money to senators and congressmen to keep marijuana illegal. they do not want the people to have freedom of choice, to opt to smoke pot instead of drink alcohol when they socialize or look for a mind altering substance.

OBAMA: Will you please stop with all of
your need to be in the spotlight like a
celebrity! It's sickening already.
JUST GO TO WORK If you know
anything about being a President.
This is all too nauseating.

You are correct spokeshole. Obama is a narcissist. He is only interested in promoting himself. He has been on more television, radio and internet in his short tenure than Bush or Clinton was altogether. He is in love with himself and will continue to use every avenue available to him to brainwash the weak into giving him more power than he deserves. The people asked for change---and got a ham.

Just in case you 18-25yr olds that Obama Conned into voting for him thought he actually cared about your opinion. Here he lays it out plain and simple. If it's not good for his ongoing campaign for domination, he's not gonna do it. Why should he be concerned with a new industry to tax and ending illegal marijuana trade.

How is this a laughing matter? We need legalization of marijuana. We waste millions of federal/state money raiding and incarcerating the use/possession of marijuana. We should regulate and fairly tax the sale of cannabis. This would slightly improve our economy in a positive direction.
Honestly, Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!

Obviously this guy has not considered the growth of the economy of the USA via the medium of production of hemp. Legalisation and production of medical marijuana would free up the prisons of innocent "lawbreakers" who have chosen marijuana as their drug of choice as opposed to alcohol which is the true killer of a prosperous society due to the amount of monies poured into healthcare, policing and emergency admissions for overdosage. Legalise and utilise, Mr Obama !!

I can finally say with conviction that obama is an idiot. although I guess its only fair for him to make a joke of my job because his has been a joke for 200 years.

Marijuana is not the question...survival of the nation is the question. How do we survive this guys debt that he has laid on us. He lies and distorts the truth and his answers. This was just another campgaing tactic by obama tryng to show he really cares about what Americans think, he doesn't care. Smoke you fucking pot I don't care. If your not an American citizen then shut the fuck up. I don't give give a rats ass what anyone from Canada or the Neterlands has to say, they don't matter.

1. marijuana is the question this video is about.
2. it's the national debt. not Obama's. he's been in office 60 days, and he's addressing many difficult problems at once. that can be expensive.
3. his anti-legalization position indicates that he does care what Americans think. most americans still believe your reefer madness BS even though it has been thoroughly debunked by legitimate science. he's playing politics
4. youtube isn't just for americans. like it or not foreigners can be right.

I'm anti marijuana, and anti obama period. If your not an American shut the fuck up you got no say about anything regarding the US. And you can shut the fuck up too. obama has difficult problems, he gave us a 7 trillion dollar problem. Keep hitting your pipe and stay in your cave.

ocreynolds : up Obama's cornhole. Someone should be asking why the State of Mass. has apparently legalized pot , instead of asking his blank opinion. That's where Obama lives , in a blank on a piece of paper.

A political response but it does not address the problems. NY State just reversed the Rockefeller Drug Laws. That is a step in the right direction. As long as people have to act criminally to get a medical treatment which works for them, there will be drug wars.
Rich people NEVER go to jail for drugs. The laws are used against the poor, the disenfranchised and politically "incorrect " citizens. Never forget that.
Stop the hypocrisy! Legalize it, let citizens live in peace in their homes.

I like how obama can laugh at the fact non-violent offenders are being locked up and having their lives ruined. We also have college kids getting hefty fines for something less harmful than drinking, forcing them to either drop out, or get a job to pay the money, taking further time away from their school
Its really not a laughing matter, and i would like to hear an apology from every single cunt in that room, including Mr President.
HAHAHA lets lock fuckers up! Real funny barack

Its really just common sense that marijuana should be legal.... I mean, not only does science continue to prove every day that it's absolutely harmless, but this is supposed to be a free country. What I choose to do in my own home is really none of the government's business...
Not only that, but people do and will smoke pot, but keeping it illegal gives the profits to violent drug cartels, when that money could be saving our economy.
It's just common sense, whether you smoke it or not.

I went to school, and I smoke lots of fucking pot. I also know that it won't be legalized because we, the people, are basically nothing but pussies. Rights are taken, privileges are granted. Free people take their rights. Slaves accept their privileges. Now you know why it is illegal. And why our government hates us. Who could help themselves from hating people who beg to be slaves? ?Wake up people.
