There is no statistical evidence that backs her up claim that more kids will smoke marijuana if legalized for medicinal purposes. When California passed Proposition 215 in 1996 the rate of use among teens actually went down.
so it passed several times by voters, and still it hasn't come into effect? talk about democracy eh? Voters should truly be upset with bullshit like this and either fire, impeach, or do not re-elect those politicians who do not follow the idea behind voting.
This is sad.
I give a lot of credit to the organizers as they have really great amount of patience.
But truly sad making patients run around like criminals to get the one thing that helps them. Compassion is lost?
Its funny that they say a doctor can not give a class one narcotic, but kids are given "medical" speed to help them in class. All the pain killers that are given out are based on Poppy seeds and people die from those every day. Smack was invented by Bayer and no one seems to know that little fact.
Freedom>Fascism! LEGALIZE IT! It is good for everyone! Not Just Medical Marijuana! FREEDOM!!! Washington and Jefferson smoked up and grew! COME ON you FOOLS!
your child or teen is; at this very moment; looting your pillbox and taking them to school to sell so they can buy 3 cans of cola to drink to get a sugar high or 'energy boost' seriously there are way bigger things to worry about when it comes to your children . ever given them tylenol or motrin ? haha it has been recalled it is sythetic it isnt natural to consume these damn pills yet as an american society we grew up knowing a pill will make us feel better. nothing releives pain like cannabis.
children already have access to cannabis , because it is unregulated it belongs to the black market. . ever seen a drug dealer ask for a license when they are selling? nope, they sell to whoever has the money. its alot easier for children and teens to get cannabis than it is for tobacco and alcohol.
The one and only Renewable & Biodegradable oil source is currently illegal. The 'War on Drugs' has been the second biggest social failure in American History, second only to Slavery. Re-Legalize Industrial Hemp so we can grow all of our oil and fuel in America Mr. President. Hemp Biodiesel Engines + Hemp Cellulose Ethanol = WIN. NO army can stop an idea whose time has come.
@Deathlordtwo 0i never said methadone was an opiate i said opiates aremade into painkillers which is bad . mindofajedi im well aware of what the agenda for Drug Free America just trying to condense alot in a small spacIs. thanks for adding the comment though and BTW LETS START CALLING IT CANNABIS!! any other term is derogatory(sorry spelling)
The Drug Free America people have NO RIGHT to be taking a stance against this issue at all, unless they want to start speaking out against every other medical drug out there. If they're not against pharmaceutical medications, then they can't be against medically used marijuana! Period, end of the debate.
There is a CLEAR difference between recreational uses for drugs, and legitimate medical uses.
Think about the kids?! It's easier for a kid to get pot than it is alcohol. I started smoking when I was 13 and it was the easiest thing to get. How about we REGULATE AND TAX IT!? We wouldnt have drug dealers selling to minors, you would need a state ID to purchase and we would help out the kids IMMENSELY!
the important thing is to keep people talking about it, and even then not go through with it completely. lets say 50% wants it decriminalized and the other 50% does not. those who do not must come up with a reasonable explanation why the other half should be forced to live their lives according to what the first half wants.
Ritalin is simply prescribed cocaine and it really amazes me that these people are actually trying to use children, like they have AnyThing to do with this... if ANYTHING having it illegal will cause FAR more damage to our fellow man and their children than the plant itself Ever could. Fucking hypocrites.
once again the "we have to think of the kids" oh you mean the ones buying marijuana at school and smoking it there too, oh those kids. seriously people back in 02 when i was highschool kids were buying marijuana at school and smoking it there too, the black market makes drugs more accesible to kids because the dealer doesn't care about age he cares about the money in your pocket.
I love how these anti-drug assholes always say "think of the children." What a fucking cheap way to illicit sympathy. Why can't she come up with scientific evidence against the use of cannabis? Oh, that's right....its because all the evidence says that marijuana doesn't cause cancer or harm the lungs. Seriously, the more REAL scientific research you read about weed (and I'm talking about current research) the more you start to think....why the hell is cannabis illegal?
yea protect the chirren, cuz i just smoked a joint and now i feel like getting a knife and killing my whole family! Weed was created by God, and anything from God is good. lol that lady should be locked up for not using her brain.
If you're wondering why media outlets across the country are suddenly giving a voice to pot advocates, its because there is already large scale coordination going on to create regulations that will effectively monopolize the market to a handful of the connected. Do you really want a mega-corporation like Philip Morris in control of marijuana production and distribution?
now every one is goin to be like o no our kids we cant pass this. when passing it wont affect the number of smokers. more kids will smoke each day. people need to do research of mj. its harmless
I like how rather than actually letting them debate, they brought in that prohibitionist mouthpiece to quickly spout BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN OH GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN right at the end.
If you said yes, you are a moron. America has more prisoners (actual numbers as well as per capita) than any other country on the planet. Look it up. Why? There is profit in putting people in prison. Profit is also the reason why MJ prohibition continues. Pharma, alcohol, tobacco - they don't want people cutting into their profits. Cannabis is a safer alternative to their products.
Partnership for a Drug-Free America is (extremely ironically) funded by the Pharmaceutical, alcohol, and tobacco industries. These industries don't care about anything but their own profits. Nixon began the war on drugs in order to arrest war protesters. We are being lied to and imprisoned by our own country which has declared war on individual liberty. Why should we stand for this?
If just every single marijuana user could get together and riot the government would legalize it ASAP! But we're too used to this crap and many don't give a fuck.
Who designed that set? Those chairs look fucking clownish. Look at how Mr Myers has to rest his arms and the interviewer is sitting in the most distracting position possible.

Thank you for posting vid. It would have been nice if you posted the oppositions side as well. I know that they have nothing more than the same old talking points. But we need to hear what the other side has to say, so that we can prepare for it. Plus, its only fair. Thanks again.
I would have liked to have seen the evil lady from the " partnership for a drug free America." I need to hear the flawed argument so I can refute it. Please post the evil woman's side of the debate.
@THEfriskyxcowboy okay, first of all drugs and medicine are the same freaking thing so STFU. Second, can we stop pretending that its all about cancer patients? Like that guy at 1:09. You can tell that he wanted to say that that is exactly what they are aiming for. Everybody, inculding me, wants legalization. So can we stop pretending that we just want to help people with cancer? we just wanna get high!
@JC593 I agree with you 100%, but this is a public relations battle. We can't introduce this idea all at once since we're still suffering the consequences of reefer madness. Too many people are too emotionally involved in the idea that marijuana is dangerous. A gradualist strategy is our best bet in this situation. Be patient, the time will come.
why is it always about the fucking kids? so what if they get pot, ever see the shit they give them for add? I told a dr once too, I'll give my son pot before I give him that meth in a pill.
we humans think we can make better things to make people think they feel better. however look at the cost of prohabition, the deaths caused by it and all the people who have died from overdose on pills. be responsible adults research other countries who have cannabis legal. they would find that teen use has gone down because the black market has been put out of buisness, think people THANKS MPP!!!
cannabis occurs naturally, no one or thing has died from the direct inhalation of cannabis. if they did the cannabis was laced with ground up glass or other harmful additives to make it weigh more. we can fix problems like that if we regulate and tax cannabis. when will people wake up and realize this ?
drug free america is a joke. if they were serious about that , then they would look into the anti-depressants and pain killers and find that they are made from opiate derivitives. haha pills are the real drug eating at america . we use sythetics to treat our sick. we dope up on zoloft and methadone(meth) oxycontin overdoses KILLING.
@VegaVermillion, exactely. Had I discovered the wonders of medical marijuana and chiropractic care before going into a pain clinic. I wouldn't be the opiate-dependent pill-popper I am today. Although I was far, far, far worse than I am now. It was a Pain Clinic that got me hooked on the stuff. Now I see an old family doctor who is a friend. He is helping me manage and supports me smoking marijuana for my nausea and inflammation, as well as depression and anxiety. Too bad it's so expensive.
look at what is happening in mexico. drug cartels are trying desperately hang onto the illicit trade here in the us . if we regulate and tax , we can buffer the efforts to curb violence along the border and also hire the teachers who were fired because of no money in the state's budget.
